6. The power plant system according to claim 1, wherein three stages of preheating means are employed.
7. The power plant system according to claim 1, further comprising extraction means for extracting fluid from said organic vapor turbine and delivering the extracted fluid to one of said stages of preheaters.
8. The power plant system according to claim 1, wherein said organic vapor turbine is a high pressure organic fluid turbine, whereby a portion of the vapor exhausted from said high pressure organic fluid turbine is delivered to a low pressure organic fluid turbine and a further portion of the vapor exhausted from said high pressure organic fluid turbine is delivered to one of said stages of preheaters.
9. The power plant system according to claim 8, wherein said one of said stages of preheaters to which said further portion of the vapor exhausted from said high pressure organic fluid turbine is delivered is a heater, whereby organic fluid passing therethrough is heated.
10. The power plant system according to claim 7, wherein the preheater stage to which fluid extracted from the organic vapor turbine is supplied is a heater, whereby organic fluid passing therethrough is heated.
