Various studies on scroll expander available in literature have proven it to be an attractive choice for micro-scale (< 20 kWe) ORC application. These studies comprise of modifying the scroll compressor to be used in the expander mode followed by the development of semi-empirical models to determine the scroll performance. These models can provide the guidelines to design scroll expanders for a specific ORC application. This paper generates a number of scroll expander geometries and optimizes them for the best cycle efficiency for a 10 kWe R134a ORC cycle using the above mentioned models. Conventionally, the scroll expanders have been studied by plotting their performance indicators against the cycle operating parameters such as temperature, pressure and volume ratio. In this paper, we analyze these scroll expander geometries on the classical Ns-Ds diagram along with other expanders. It is observed that scroll expander occupies a domain of low Ns and high Ds, away from conventional turbine type expanders but closer to other positive displacement devices such as rotary and reciprocating type of expanders. This unique domain of scroll expanders Ns-Ds plot also signifies existence of other potential applications.
