	  abstract     = {This paper describes the experimental efficiency of a
compact organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system with a compact
rotary-vane-type expander. The compact ORC system can be used for
power generation from low-temperature heat sources such as waste
heat from various small-scale heat engines, fuel cells, electric devices,
and solar thermal energy. The purpose of this study is to develop an
ORC system with a low power output of less than 1 kW with a hot
temperature source ranging from 60°C to 100°C and a cold
temperature source ranging from 10°C to 30°C. The power output of
the system is rather less due to limited heat efficiency. Therefore, the
system should have an economically optimal efficiency. In order to
realize such a system, an efficient and low-cost expander is
indispensable. An experimental ORC system was developed using the
rotary-vane-type expander which is one of possible candidates of the
expander. The experimental results revealed the expander
performance for various rotation speeds, expander efficiencies, and
thermal efficiencies. Approximately 30 W of expander power output
with 48% expander efficiency and 4% thermal efficiency with a
temperature difference between the hot and cold sources of 80°C was
achieved.},
