A method and apparatus for implementing a thermodynamic cycle. A heated gaseous working stream including a low boiling point component and a higher boiling point component is expanded to transform the energy of the stream into useable form and to provide an expanded working stream. The expanded working stream is then split into two streams, one of which is expanded further to obtain further energy, resulting in a spent stream, the other of which is extracted. The spent stream is fed into a distillation/condensation subsystem, which converts the spent stream into a lean stream that is lean with respect to the low boiling point and a rich stream that is enriched with respect to the low boiling point component. The lean stream and the rich stream are then combined in a regenerating subsystem with the portion of the expanded stream that was extracted to provide the working stream, which is then efficiently heated in a heater to provide the heated gaseous working stream that is expanded.

Méthode et dispositif permettant de déclencher un cycle thermodynamique. Un flux gazeux thermodynamique chauffé comprenant un composant à point d'ébullition peu élevé et un autre à point d'ébullition élevé est expansé pour rendre utilisable l'énergie du flux et pour produire un courant thermodynamique expansé. Le flux utile expansé est alors divisé en deux flux, dont l'un est davantage expansé pour obtenir encore plus d'énergie, ce qui produit un flux épuisé, à partir duquel l'autre est tiré. Le flux épuisé est envoyé dans un sous-système de condensation/distillation, qui convertit le flux épuisé en un flux pauvre qui est pauvre par rapport au point d'ébullition peu élevé et un flux riche qui est enrichi par rapport au composant à point d'ébullition peu élevé. Le flux pauvre et le flux riche sont ensuite combinés dans un sous-système de régénération avec la partie du flux expansé qui a été extraite pour produire le flux utile, qui est alors chauffé efficacement dans un dispositif de chauffage pour produire le flux gazeux thermodynamique chauffé qui est expansé.
