Abstract

The invention relates to a thermodynamic cycle device, in particular an ORC device, comprising a preheater for preheating a working medium; an evaporator for evaporating and superheating a first mass flow of the preheated working medium; an expansion machine for expanding the evaporated and superheated first mass flow of the working medium; a condenser for condensing the working medium exiting the expansion machine; a feed pump for pumping condensed working medium to the preheater; and a first supply apparatus for supplying a second mass flow of the preheated working medium to the partially expanded first mass flow of the working medium in the expansion machine. The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
