ABSTRACT:
A process to convert heat into power is set forth wherein, to make the cycle more suitable to low grade heat, the working fluid remains substantially in the liquid state after being heat exchanged against the heat source and a dense fluid expander is used in place of a conventional vapor expander to subsequently work expand the liquid working fluid.
