Abstract
The present invention relates to a closed circuit operating on a Rankine cycle, the circuit comprising at least one compression and circulation pump for a working fluid in liquid form, a heat exchanger over which a hot source is swept in order to evaporate the fluid, means for expanding the fluid in the form of a vapor, a cooling exchanger swept by a cold source to condense the working fluid, a reservoir of working fluid, and working fluid circulation pipes for circulating the fluid between the pump, the heat exchanger, the expansion means, the condenser and the reservoir. The circuit comprises a device for draining the fluid contained in the heat exchanger.
