Abstract:
An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) device and method for transforming heat from a heat source into mechanical energy. The ORC includes a closed circuit containing a two phase working fluid. The circuit comprises a liquid pump for circulating the working fluid consecutively through an evaporator which is configured to be placed in thermal contact with the heat source; through an expander for transforming the thermal energy of the working fluid into mechanical energy; and through a condenser which is in thermal contact with a cooling element. The expander is situated above the evaporator. The fluid outlet of the evaporator is connected to the fluid inlet of the expander by a raiser column which is filled with a mixture of liquid working fluid and of gaseous bubbles of the working fluid, which mixture is supplied to the expander.

Claim (Index 36):
The cooling system for cooling a source of waste heat, wherein the cooling system comprises an ORC according to  claim 19  as only means for cooling of the heat source without the need for any additional external cooling, also in conditions of non operation of the expander and/or of non-operation of the liquid pump.
