Abstract: A method for converting heat energy into mechanical, electrical and/or thermal energy, includes two circuits which are connected one common subsection. The first circuit has an expansion apparatus, and the common subsection is connected to the first and second circuit via a jet compressor. A working medium is routed in the first circuit and a propellant is routed in the second circuit and a mixture of working medium and propellant is routed in the common subsection. The mixture is separated into a working medium stream and a propellant stream in a separation apparatus. The working medium is recirculated into the first circuit and is supplied to an evaporator unit. The evaporated working medium is supplied to the expansion apparatus and subsequently to the jet compressor. The separated propellant is recirculated into the second circuit and is supplied to a collector and is then supplied to the jet compressor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a plant and a method for the conversion of heat energy into mechanical, electrical and/or thermal energy, the method comprising at least two circuits which are connected by means of at least one common subsection, the first circuit having at least one expansion apparatus (9), and the common subsection being connected to the first and second circuit via at least one jet compressor (3), a working medium being routed in the first circuit and a propellant being routed in the second circuit and a mixture of working medium and propellant being routed in the common subsection, the mixture formed in the jet compressor (3) subsequently being separated into a working medium stream and a propellant stream in a separation apparatus (6), the working medium being recirculated into the first circuit and being supplied to an evaporator unit (8), the evaporated working medium being supplied to the expansion apparatus (9) and subsequently to the jet compressor (3), and separated propellant being recirc
