Abstract
A method and a turbine for expanding an organic operating fluid in a Rankine cycle includes the step of feeding the operating fluid to a turbine provided with a plurality of arrays of stator blades alternating with a plurality of arrays of rotor blades, to define corresponding turbine stages, constrained to a shaft which rotates on the respective rotation axis. The method also includes: a) causing a first expansion of the operating fluid in one or more radial stages of the turbine, b) diverting the operating fluid exiting from the radial stages in a direction axial and tangential with respect to the rotation axis, and c) causing a second fluid expansion in one or more axial stages of the turbine. Step b) corresponds to an enthalpy change of the operating fluid equal to at least 50% of the average enthalpy change provided for completing the fluid expansion in the turbine.
