PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for heating a make-up working fluid of a steam system with engine fluid waste heat.SOLUTION: A system 1 including an engine 2 and a heat exchanger 3 coupled to the engine 2 is provided. The engine 2 includes an engine fluid, and at least one of a compressor section configured to compress a gas, a lubricant path configured to circulate a lubricant, and a coolant path configured to circulate a coolant. The engine fluid comprises at least one of the gas, the lubricant and the coolant, and the engine fluid is a source of heat derived from one or more operations of the engine 2. The heat exchanger 3 is configured to receive the engine fluid from the engine 2 and exchange heat between the engine fluid and a working fluid to produce a heated working fluid and a cooled engine fluid, and the heat exchanger 3 is configured to export the heated working fluid to a steam system 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
