Abstract

Waste heat is one of the sources that can produce energy. Furthermore, waste energy produces no emission to the environment. In this study, a waste heat recovery system is build up and an experiment is conducted to the system. An Organic Rankine cycle is selected among the other Rankine cycle due to its characteristics. This report also discussing about the component that is used in the waste heat recovery system and their specification. Furthermore, an experiment has been done in order to find the highest power gained and what is the different in temperature when the power at peak. The working fluid used in the waste heat recovery system is refrigerant R-134a as it is the most suitable to apply in the system. The heat is gained from the engine before it is cooled at the radiator. In order to transfer the heat from one working to other working fluid, heat exchanger is used. The graphs of power and different in temperature versus time are used to analyze the result. The maximum power gained from the experiment is 37.84 Watt. That value stated means that the power that should be transfer from the radiator coolant to the heat recovery system.
