ABSTRACT:
A method for converting heat energy to mechanical energy includes expanding an evaporated working fluid with an expansion device connected to an evaporator. The expansion is carried out in a low-pressure expansion device and the energy contained in the expanded evaporated working fluid can be recycled into the evaporator and utilized for evaporating additional working fluid.
