Abstract (en)

This invention concerns a system for producing electric or mechanical energy, starting from the fumes or gasses from combustion of a biomass or from some other origin that includes a turbogenerator group (12) operating according to the Rankine cycle and an intermediate heat exchange between the high temperature fumes or gasses and an working fluid evaporation heat exchanger (16) feeding the turbogenerator group (12). Flowing in the intermediate heat exchange circuit (13) is a aeriform fluid that on the one hand, is heated by the high temperature gasses or fumes and on the other, releases heat to the working feed fluid of the turbogenerator group (12). The aeriform fluid can be an inert gas or air with a low oxygen content. <IMAGE>
