Rotational Experiment of MEMS Turbine for Miniature Organic Rankin Cycle Generator
This research aims to realize a miniature ORC (organic Rankine cycle) generator, and a MEMS process is used to reduce the size of the turbine structure. The developed MEMS turbine had millimeter scale structure, and it demonstrated the rotational motion by a low-boiling-point medium as a working fluid that can be harvested a low temperature waste heat. The rotation speed of the turbine was measured and compared in open and closed measurement systems. As a result, in the closed system, the maximum rotation speed was 113,207 rpm at heating temperature of 80.2 °C and the inlet pressure of 0.26 MPa. The rotation speed of the open system was lower than that of the closed system because the low-boiling-point medium changed to gas-liquid two-phase in the open system. However, the working fluid released from the turbine in the liquid-phase is preferable for downsizing because it eliminates the need for a condenser.
