NOVELTY - The system has a transformation device (25) transforming a part of thermal energy into electrical power. A main pump conveys coolant in a coolant circuit and formed in a downstream of an internal combustion engine by a coolable ambient air cooling part, where the system divides fluid mass flow in a refrigerant circuit downstream of the cooling part. An intake unit of the main pump is arranged in a first spacer and a slot that is utilized for cooling a working medium. A mixing point is arranged in an upstream of the cooling device and located in a second spacer to form partial mass flow.    USE - Propulsion system for a vehicle.
