Abstract
A small solar (thermal) water pump prototype was tested. The pump work s on an organic Rankine cycle using refrigerant R113. The design of th e pump is described. Detailed temperature and pressure measurements of the working fluid for different operating conditions are performed. T he behaviour of the cycle is analysed to get a clear picture of the th ermodynamic process. Power-characteristic curves are obtained by a sys tematic variation of water temperature, pumping head and heat input. C opyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
