Title:
EXHAUST HEAT REGENERATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/016354
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an exhaust heat regeneration system which makes it possible to prevent increased temperature of a pump in an expander having an integrated pump. The system comprises: an evaporator for cooling engine cooling water by means of heat exchange with a coolant; an expander for expanding coolant which has passed through the evaporator and been heated, in order to produce a drive force; a condenser for cooling and condensing the coolant which has passed through the expander; and a pump for pumping the coolant, which has passed through the condenser and been cooled, to the evaporator. The expander is coupled to the pump by means of a shaft, and the expander and pump are housed inside the same casing in order to configure the expander having an integrated pump. The pump comprises a high-pressure chamber which is provided on the expander side in the axial direction and allows a through-flow of coolant which is discharged to the evaporator, and a low-pressure chamber which is provided on the expander side in the axial direction and allows a through-flow of coolant which flows in from the condenser.
