Abstract

The invention pertains to an apparatus and a process of generating work comprising the steps of expanding a gas, preferably substantially adiabatically and/or at the critical pressure and temperature of the gas, causing part of the gas to condensate and form a liquid phase, and separating, during or after expansion, at least part of the liquid phase from the gas phase. This process facilitates generating work at a relatively high efficiency.
