Thermoutilizer

A thermal utilization system, comprising:

• a working solution source comprising a working solution;
• a working fluid source comprising a working fluid capable of interacting with the working solution to generate heat;
• a utilizer coupled to the working solution source and the working fluid source, the utilizer operable to receive the working solution from the working solution source and to receive the working fluid from the working fluid source, the utilizer operable to interact the working solution and the working fluid to generate heat and produce a saturated solution;
• a separator operable to receive the saturated solution from the utilizer and separate the working fluid from the working solution;
• a vacuum pump operable to aid separation in the separator;
• and
• a power generation system, the power generation system comprising a heat engine operable to produce power and further operable to perform at least one of the following:
• transfer heat to the separator;
• receive heat from the utilizer.
