WASTE HEAT SUPPLYING DEVICE FOR ENGINE

Japanese Patent JP3833361

B

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use waste heat so as to supply a heat medium to a heat using apparatus by arranging a heat exchanger, which heats the heat medium to be fed to the heat using apparatus by means of heat of cooling water, in the outer circumference of a pipe arranged in the downstream side of a thermostat arranged in a cooling water circuit of an engine so as to return the cooling water to the engine.
SOLUTION: A vehicle damper 2 provided with a vehicle height adjusting function is constructed so that its height adjustment is carried out by using waste heat of an engine 1. That is, a heating chamber 28 is formed between the outer circumferential face of a jacket 27, which is arranged in the inner circumference of the lower end part of a case 25 in the damper 2, and the inner circumference face of the case 25, and a heat medium is let flow into the heating chamber 28. In this way, a pressure medium in a liquid sump part 26a is vaporized so as to increase an internal pressure of a pressure chamber 26, and by means of this internal pressure, a damper rod 20 is lowered. A heat exchanger 4, which is arranged in the outer circumference of a connecting pipe 3d in a cooling water circuit 3 of the engine 1, is connected to the heating chamber 28 via a pipe, so that a circulation circuit 5 is formed, and then, the heat medium is circulated by means of an action of a pump 5a so as to heat the heating chamber 28.
