Exhibiting at WPC 2000: Closed Cycle Vapor Turbogenerator

The ORMAT Energy Converter (OEC), a closed-cycle vapor turbogenerator (CCVT) is a fully-integrated, tested and certified power system for remote unattended applications. Basically a self-contained power package consisting of a combustion system, a vapor generator, a turbo-alternator, an air-cooled condenser, a rectifier, alarms and controls housed in a shelter, it will supply 200 to 3,000 Watts of filtered DC power on a continuous 24 hour per day basis for periods of up to 20 years. The system utilizes a hermetically-sealed Rankine cylce generating set which contains one smoothly rotating part—the shaft—on which the turbine wheel and the brushless alternator rotor are mounted. It can be run with different heat sources, since the fluid cycle is closed and require only the application of external heat.
