The organic flash cycle (OFC) is a novel power cycle with small exergy loss in the endothermic process. However, the low-pressure throttle valve in the cycle has a large throttling loss. Aiming to reduce the cycle exergy loss and improve the system performance, this study constructs a new configuration named the organic flash Rankine cycle (OFRC). Using the R600/R245fa mixture as the circulating working fluid and 200 °C geothermal water as the heat source, the effects of the change in working fluid composition on the thermal properties of the OFRC were studied based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Then, the economic performance of the proposed OFRC was investigated and then compared with that of the conventional OFC. The results show that the OFRC system has a significant improvement in thermal performance and economy compared with the OFC system. When the mole composition of the R600/R245fa mixture is 0.5/0.5, the net output work, thermal efficiency, and exergy efficiency of the OFRC system can reach a maximum at 146.39 kW, 21.51%, and 80.94%, respectively, which are 98.2 kW, 14.43%, and 54.3% higher than those of the OFC system. The dual heaters in the OFRC system can effectively reduce loss in the endothermic process. When the R600 mole composition is 0.5 in the OFRC system, the exergy loss of the heater is only 7.42%, and the power generation cost (0.3267 $·kW−1·h−1 only) is lower than that in the OFC system.
