Waste heat generated in the carbon dioxide compressor 210
may be absorbed in the second ?uid circuit 400. The second
?uid circuit 400 then may be cooled in the compressor heat
exchanger 380 with the ?rst ?uid circuit 390. The heat
absorbed by the ?rst ?uid circuit 390 acts as the waste heat
source ?ow 270 in communication with the generator 260 of
generator 260, the now cooled ?rst ?uid circuit 390 then may
return to the compressor heat exchanger 380 and repeat the
