The aim of the invention is to reduce exhaust steam losses and thus efficiency losses in condensation power stations such that the steam does not expand to the attainable vacuum (as is the case in the prior art) but, after extraction from a turbine or the like, is elevated in the caloric content thereof to a higher pressure stage in a heat transformer by means of pumps, which are connected upstream therefrom and which are provided for the secondary circuit, in order to effect a renewed expansion at said heat transformer. This is repeated as often as possible until the quantity of heat which otherwise escapes through the cooling tower is largely converted into electric energy.

1. A process of heat transformation comprising: dividing a steam flow in a vortex unit into at least a heated partial flow and a cooled partial flow, whereby condensation occurs in the cooled partial flow to form a condensate; increasing pressure on the condensate to absorb heat of the heated partial flow, whereby the condensate evaporates to form steam; and recycling the steam to the vortex unit. 2. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein the steam flow comprises a saturated steam flow. 3. The process in accordance with claim 1, further comprising using the steam to work in a working machine. 4. The process in accordance with claim 3, wherein the steam is not recycled until after the work in the working machine is complete. 5. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein the pressure on the condensate is increased by a pump. 6. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein the vortex unit comprises a vortex tube having an edge zone and a core zone, in which heating of the steam flow is effected in the edge zone, and cooling and condensation is effected in the core zone, and said process further comprising. guiding the condensate, after the increase in pressure, to flow around an outside of the vortex tube. 7. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein transformed heat of condensation is fed stepwise to turbines in a plurality of through-passages. 8. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein the hot partial flow heats an evaporator, and said process further comprising: feeding the condensate, after the increase in pressure, the evaporator, in which the condensation evaporates. 9. The process in accordance with claim 1, wherein additional vortex units are coupled together in series with the vortex unit, in which each of vortex unit and the additional vortex units include an evaporator, and said process further comprises: guiding a remainder of the heat absorbed hot partial flow to a lower-pressure stage formed at least in part by an adjacent downstream vortex unit; dividing the heat absorbed hot partial flow in the adjacent downstream vortex unit into a cold flow component and a hot flow component, wherein condensation occurs in the second condensate to form a second condensate; increasing the pressure on the second condensate to absorb heat from the hot flow component, whereby the second condensate is evaporated. 10. The process in accordance with claim 9, wherein a last vortex unit comprises a vortex tube, and said process farther comprises: depositing a last hot flow component of the last vortex tube stage as an amount of exhaust steam in a condenser.
