Abstract
A heat engine has a first heat exchanger which is configured as a heater, has a second heat exchanger which is configured as a cooler, has a turbine which is arranged between the first and the second heat exchanger, and has a line system which has a working medium, is configured as a circuit and connects the components to one another in a fluidically conducting manner. If the first heat exchanger, the turbine and the second heat exchanger are arranged so as to follow one another in the vertical direction in the installed position, the heat engine can be designed as a particularly compact structural unit.
