A system includes a first fluid flow path configured to condition a pressurized medium and deliver the pressurized medium to one or more loads (152). The first fluid flow path including an air cycle machine (160). A second fluid flow path (162) is configured to circulate a working fluid. The second fluid flow path (162) includes a heat exchanger (124) thermally coupled to the first fluid flow path. Within the heat exchanger (124), heat extracted from the pressurized medium is transferred to the working fluid. The second fluid flow path (162) additionally includes a turbine (164) operably coupled to the air cycle machine (160), a condenser (144), and a pump (166) operable to circulate the working fluid through at least a portion of the second fluid flow path (162). The turbine (164) is rotationally driven by expanding the working fluid across the turbine (164).
