Abstract
The topic of the article is the analysis of the
influence of selected design parameters and operating
conditions on the radial steam micro-turbine, which was
adapted to operate with low-boiling agent in the Organic
Rankine Cycle (ORC). In the following parts of this article
the results of the thermal load analysis, the residual
unbalance and the stiffness of bearing supports are discussed.
Advanced computational methods and numerical
models have been used. Computational analysis showed
that the steam micro-turbine is characterized by very good
dynamic properties and is resistant to extreme operating
conditions. The prototype of micro-turbine has passed a
series of test calculations. It has been found that it can be
subjected to experimental research in the micro combined
heat and power system.
