1. A system for generating power, said system comprising:

  • a closed loop fluid circuit configured to circulate a working fluid to a pump component, an evaporator component, a power generating component, a condenser component, and a heat recovery unit coupled with the evaporator component to receive a thermal source fluid from the evaporator component at a temperature sufficient to evaporate the working fluid, the closed loop fluid circuit comprising a flow path that is configured to direct the working fluid in vapor phase from the heat recovery unit to the pump component, wherein the pump component is configured to pressurize the working fluid in liquid phase in response to flow of the working fluid in vapor phase.
