Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019130266A1] An energy recovery circuit from a thermal source, comprising a circulation pump (P) of an operating fluid, a high-temperature heat exchanger (HTHX) in which the operating fluid exchanges heat with the thermal source, a vane expander (1) comprising an inlet port (16) and an outlet port (17), a low-temperature heat exchanger (LTHX) in which the operating fluid exchanges heat with a cooling fluid, and a duct for the supplementary introduction of operating fluid in the liquid state from a high pressure branch of the circuit downstream of the pump (P) into a portion (18) of an expansion chamber (14) of the expander (1) isolated from the inlet port (16) and the outlet port (17).
