Patent ID: 11286816

Abstract:
The invention refers to a system for cooling a process fluid of a heat-producing apparatus, comprising: an outlet of the heat-producing apparatus, the outlet being provided 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 adapted 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 liquefying the expanded working medium, in particular an air-cooled condenser; and a pump for pumping the liquefied working medium to the evaporator.
