AbstractOrganic rankine cycle (ORC), special fluids are used which can evaporate at relatively low temperature instead of water as the vehicle fluid. In this way it is possible to produce electricity from waste heat sources at low temperatures. In this study, it was investigated that the required thermal energy for the ORC was achieved by burning gases in a combustion chamber (Flare) in a low-emission hot water boiler. The electricity generated at the end of the cycle is theoretically calculated. The main components of the system are the boiler, turbine, and cooling unit has been examined. Cost, feasibility and emission analyzes of the system are made; according to TURKEY and USA conditions, the repayment period and internal rate of return are calculated. As a result of the application, it is seen that electricity production can be done at 76,5 kWe power from 118 Nm3/h waste gas.
