Abstract
A system including an engine and a heat exchanger coupled to the engine is provided. The engine includes an engine fluid and at least one of a compressor section configured to compress a gas, a lubricant path configured to circulate a lubricant, or a coolant path configured to circulate a coolant. The engine fluid comprises at least one of the gas, the lubricant, or the coolant, and the engine fluid is a source of heat derived from one or more operations of the engine. The heat exchanger is configured to receive the engine fluid from the engine and exchange heat between the engine fluid and a working fluid to produce a heated working fluid and a cooled engine fluid, and the heat exchanger is configured to export the heated working fluid to a steam system.
