Through experiment, the variation of the exhaust energy of the vehicle diesel engine is studied, a set of vehicle diesel engine-organic Rankine cycle (ORC) combined system with internal heat exchanger (IHE) is designed, the zeotropic mixtures R416A is used as the working fluids for the ORC system with IHE, by theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, the variation of the vehicle diesel engine-ORC combined system with IHE under entire operating conditions of the diesel engine is studied, the calculation results show that, when engine is operating at high speed and high torque, the performance of the vehicle diesel engine-ORC combined system with IHE is higher.

This study makes energy and exergy analysis of a sample organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with a heat exchanger which produces energy via a geothermal source with a temperature of 140 °C. R600a is preferred as refrigerant to be used in the cycle. The changes in exergy destructions (of irreversibility) and exergy efficiencies in each cycle element are calculated in the analyses made based on the effectiveness of heat exchanger used in cycle and evaporator temperature changing between 60 and 120 °C for fixed pinch point temperature differences in evaporator and condenser. Parameters showing system performance are assessed via second law approach. Effectiveness of heat exchanger and temperature of evaporator are taken into consideration within the scope of this study, and energy and exergy efficiencies of cycle are enhanced maximum 6.87% and 6.21% respectively. Similarly, exergy efficiencies of evaporator, heat exchanger, and condenser are increased 4%, 82%, and 1.57%, respectively, depending on the effectiveness of heat exchanger and temperature of evaporator.
