Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for performing an Organic Rankine Cycle-process (ORC-process), comprising a first circular flow in which a first process fluid is conducted, having an evaporator for evaporating the first process fluid, an expansion machine located downstream of the evaporator for expanding the evaporated first process fluid, wherein the expansion machine is connectable to a generator for generating electrical energy, a first condenser located downstream of the expansion machine for condensing the expanded first process fluid, and a first fluid energy machine located downstream of the first condenser for increasing the pressure of the condensed first process fluid and for transporting the first process fluid to the evaporator that is located downstream of the first fluid energy machine. The term fluid energy machine is to be understood to describe a machine that exchanges mechanical work with the process fluid.
