Abstract

This paper, after a brief description of the radial outflow turbine and of its main features, discloses the field performances evaluation of two operating geothermal ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) plants installed by Exergy Spa in Turkey. The work describes the test procedure, the measurements and calculation methods used to obtain the turbine efficiency as well as overall power cycle performance from the set of available experimental data.
