This paper presents the detailed laboratory experimental results of a low-temperature Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) engine coupled with a Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination unit. In a previous work, the identification of performance of the scroll type expander was presented. At that primary...

The current paper presents the economic evaluation of a two-stage Solar Organic Rankine Cycle (SORC) for using the mechanical energy produced during the thermodynamic process to drive a Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination unit. The developed integrated system is briefly analysed and the specific...
