Abstract
A trans-critical thermodynamic system includes an expansion device and a separator. The expansion device receives a supercritical fluid containing solutes. The expansion device is operable to expand the supercritical fluid to produce a sub-critical gas by reducing a temperature and/or a pressure of the supercritical fluid. The separator removes the solutes from the sub-critical gas.
