1.5 MW
Minimum extra driver for meaningful outputs. Treat this as the steady-state thermal input to the boiler.
ORC Efficiency and Energy Flow Calculator
Use a simple temperature-driven ORC assumption to see how boiler heat could split into electricity, residual heat, and boiler losses. This tool is intended for early planning conversations rather than final thermodynamic design.
ORC efficiency in this version is interpolated from two anchor assumptions: about 10% at 100 C and 18% at 180 C. Boiler efficiency defaults to 85% and should be treated as a site-specific planning assumption.
Planning Inputs
85%
Represents the share of boiler fuel input converted into useful heat delivered to the ORC loop.
140 C
Higher ORC temperature increases the planning efficiency assumption between the agreed anchor points.
Summary Outputs
Boiler to ORC Energy Flow
A simple steady-state view of how fuel input moves through the boiler and ORC stages.
How to Use This
What this version does
Shows a first-pass energy split from boiler input through to ORC electrical output and remaining residual heat.
What it leaves out
No pressure optimisation, economiser logic, transient operation, or detailed heat-recovery system design is included in v1.
Engineering caution
Residual heat may still be useful elsewhere on site, but real plant design must confirm temperatures, load profile, and hydraulic integration.
