Abstract:
An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) device and method for transforming waste heat from a heat source containing compressed gas into mechanical energy. The ORC includes a closed circuit containing a two-phase working fluid, the circuit including a liquid pump for circulating the working fluid in the circuit consecutively through an evaporator which is in thermal contact with the heat source; through an expander like a turbine 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 ORC determines the mechanical energy generated by the expander. A control device regulates the fraction of the working fluid entering the expander based on the determined mechanical energy such that the mechanical energy generated by the expander is maximum.

Claim (Index 29):
The compressor installation according to  claim 28 , further comprising a multistage compressor installation with at least two compressor elements connected in series for compressing a gas and at least two coolers acting either as an intercooler between two compressor elements or as an aftercooler for cooling the gas compressed by the last stage compressor element, whereby the compressor installation comprises an ORC with at least one evaporator, whereby each above-mentioned coolers is integrated in an heat exchanger which also integrates at least part of the evaporator of the ORC.
