Abstract
In accordance with the invention, to reduce the complexity of a cycle process, a liquid working medium flow () is brought up to an increased pressure and through part condensation of an expanded working medium flow () a first partly vaporized working medium flow () is created. Through further vaporization of the first partly vaporized working medium flow () with heat which is transferred from an external heat source (), a second at least partly vaporized working medium flow () is created. In this second at least partly vaporized working medium flow () the vapor phase () is separated from the liquid phase (), subsequently the energy of the vapor phase () is converted into a usable form and an expanded vapor phase () created. The expanded vapor phase () is mixed with the liquid phase () and the expanded working medium flow () is formed. Through complete condensation of the partly condensed, expanded working medium flow () the liquid working medium flow () is obtained in its turn.
