Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 15, wherein the drilling rig equipment includes a mud chiller, wherein adjustment of the first working fluid flow control device to cause an increase in working fluid flow to the drilling fluid heat exchanger causes a decrease in the temperature in drilling fluid to thereby decrease electrical power utilization of the mud chiller, wherein the power generation unit comprises an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) unit, wherein adjustment of the first working fluid flow control device causes an increase in working fluid flow to the exhaust heat exchanger, thereby to increase overall electrical power generated by the ORC unit due to the high heat of the exhaust, wherein the fluid jacket comprises a water jacket, wherein the fluid jacket heat exchanger comprises a water jacket heat exchanger, and wherein adjustment of the second working fluid flow control device to cause an increase in working fluid flow to the water jacket heat exchanger causes an increase in engine performance due to increased heat transfer from the engine to the working fluid.
