Abstract: An arrangement having multiple heat exchangers and a method for evaporating a working fluid by transferring heat from a heat source medium is described herein. The arrangement is used in connection with a system for recovering energy from waste heat in a thermodynamic cycle, in which the waste heat is used as the heat source medium. Each heat exchanger has a heat source medium through-passage separated from a working fluid chamber are serially interconnected in a ring arrangement. A supply line is provided between the heat source medium through-passages of any two serially consecutive heat exchangers in the ring arrangement, which can be connected selectively to the inlet of the heat source medium through-passage of each heat exchanger. Further, a discharge line for the heat source medium is provided, which can be connected selectively to the outlet of the heat source medium through-passage of each heat exchanger.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement having multiple heat exchangers and a method for evaporating a working fluid by transferring heat from a heat source medium, which can be used in a particularly advantageous manner in connection with a system and a method for recovering energy from waste heat in a thermodynamic cycle, in which the waste heat is used as the heat source medium.

Abstract: A reciprocating engine and a method for regulating a reciprocating engine, in which a combustion chamber temperature ?-BRT in one or more cylinders is made available, wherein the combustion chamber temperature ?-BRT in the respective cylinder is measured, and the ignition point is individually regulated in one or more cylinders in such a way that an upward or downward deviation of the combustion chamber temperature ?-BRT from a predefined desired value S is minimal.

Abstract: A power plant with heat transfer, in which power is generated by an arbitrary number of heat engines, described above and illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 18. is disclosed. The heat engines (A) are arranged in series with a cooling medium (22) and a heating medium (30) passing through them in a counter flow principal. After exiting the last heat engine the heated-up cooling medium is used as a combustion air. The heating medium (30) exiting in the opposite direction the last heat engine (A) can be used further on for heating purposes or other heating consumers.
