Thermodynamic analysis of an organic Rankine-vapor compression cycle (ORVC) assisted air compression system for cryogenic air separation units

Xia Zhou et al.

Summary: The study introduces an innovative organic Rankine-vapor compression cycle assisted three-stage air compression system (ORVC-ACS) to recover compression waste heat and improve energy efficiency. Optimization results indicate a maximum energy saving ratio of 4.2% for the ORVC-ACS, with an annual energy saving of 7500 MWh. Economic and environmental assessments suggest a discounted pay-back period of 3.1 years and annual carbon-dioxide emission reduction of 5400 t, demonstrating economic viability and decarbonization potential.
