To provide a displacement type expander improved for reducing a mechanical loss in a bearing.
This rotary expander 300 has a cylinder 42, a piston 46 arranged inside the cylinder 42, a shaft 5 for rotating the piston 46, a bearing member 45 having a cylindrical bearing part 45f supporting the shaft 5, and a suction passage 80 formed inside the bearing member 45 for introducing a working fluid to an operation chamber 55 between the cylinder 42 and the piston 46. The suction passage 80 includes a shaft peripheral part 80b of forming a shape of a cross section orthogonal to the axial direction of the shaft 5 in a C shape of surrounding the bearing part 45f in the peripheral direction. The working fluid flows in the shaft peripheral part 80b in the shape of going round the periphery of the bearing part 45f.
