N2 - Yankee Scientific has designed and built a custom heat exchanger test stand (HXTS), for Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to support a program to develop advanced heat exchangers (HX) for geothermal Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power plants under Subcontract Number 40000141544 with ORNL. The test stand was designed to measure the performance of laboratory scale sub-sections of these advanced heat exchangers. Provisions have been made to facilitate testing the advanced heat exchanger as a primary refrigerant vaporizer and as a recuperator and as the system condenser. The test loop was operated with a controller and was instrumented with 11 thermocouples, 5 pressure gauges, 2 pressure transducers, 2 differential pressure transducers, and 3 flow meters.
