Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019038022A1] The invention relates to a system for cooling a process fluid of a heat-producing apparatus, comprising: an outlet of the heat-producing apparatus, the outlet being providing for discharging process fluid to be cooled from the heat-producing apparatus; an inlet of the heat-producing apparatus, the inlet being provided for supplying cooled process fluid to the heat-producing apparatus; and a thermodynamic cycle device, in particular an ORC device, the thermodynamic cycle device comprising: an evaporator having an inlet for supplying the process fluid to be cooled from the outlet of the heat-producing apparatus and having an outlet for discharging the cooled process fluid to the inlet of the heat-producing apparatus, the evaporator being designed to evaporate a working medium of the thermodynamic cycle device by means of heat from the process fluid; an expansion machine for expanding the evaporated working medium and for producing mechanical and/or electrical energy; a condenser for condensing the expanded working medium, in particular an air-cooled condenser; and a pump for pumping the condensed working medium to the evaporator.
