1. In a process for recovering the energy from a liquefied gas by evaporation in heat exchange with a closed cycle medium which is simultaneously cooled, said cycle medium being thereafter compressed, heated by indirect heat exchange, subjected to engine expansion and recovered in a cyclical manner,the cycle being operated so that the cycle medium remains in the gaseous phase through the entire cycle,wherein the improvement comprises further heating resultant vaporized liquefied gas in indirect heat exchange with said cycle medium after said cycle medium has been engine expanded but before being cooled, and thereafter engine expanding the resultant further heated vaporized liquid.
