The turbogenerator uses the hot temperature thermal oil to pre-heat and vaporize a suitable organic working
fluid in the evaporator (8 3 4). The organic fluid vapor powers the turbine (4 5), which is directly coupled to the
electric generator through an elastic coupling. The exhaust vapor flows through the regenerator (5 9) where it
heats the organic liquid (2 8). The vapor is then condensed in the condenser (cooled by the water flow) (9 6
1). The organic fluid liquid is finally pumped (1 2) to the regenerator and then to the evaporator, thus
completing the sequence of operations in the closed-loop circuit.
