Abstract
An ORC expander test rig for WHR applications that utilises a catalytic heater as the heat source is discussed and preliminary results for a 1 kW scroll expander operating with R245fa are presented. Despite the low ORC efficiency of 2.4%, these preliminary results have been critical to direct further development of the test rig.
