Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for the recovery of mechanical power from heat energy sources via multiple heat exchangers and expanders receiving at least a portion of heat energy from a source. The distribution of heat energy from the source may be portioned, distributed, and communicated to the input of each of the heat exchangers so as to permit utilization of up to all available heat energy. In some embodiments, the system receives heat energy from more than one source at one or more temperatures. Mechanical energy from expansion of working fluid in the expanders may be communicated to other devices to perform useful work or operatively coupled to one or more generators to convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13  wherein at least one of said one or more ORC system(s) further comprise(s) an electrical power generator in mechanical power receiving communication with said expander, and said method further comprises an additional step of utilizing at least a portion of said mechanical power to generate electrical power via said electrical power generator.
