Experimentally determined efficiency characteristics of a supersonic micro turbine are discussed in the present paper. The micro turbine is a representative of a “micro-turbine-generator-construction-kit” for ORC small scale waste heat recovery. The isentropic total-to-static efficiency of the 12 kW turbine reaches an excellent design point performance of 73.4 %. Furthermore, its off-design operating behavior is very advantageous for small waste heat recovery plants: the turbine efficiency keeps a high level over a wide range of pressure ratio and rotational speed.
