Problems solved by technology

[0007] At the start of the Rankine cycle, when the working fluid flows into the expander from the heat exchanger for heating, a sharp pressure difference is generated between the inlet and outlet of the expander , correspondingly, a large force acts on the sliding part of the expander, which is affected resulting in reduced durability
Therefore, it is difficult to start a stable Rankine cycle

Abstract

A waste heat recovery apparatus includes a Rankine cycle (20) which includes a heater (22) for heating an operation fluid by waste heat from a heat-generating device (10), an expansion unit (23) for converting energy of expansion of the operation fluid flowing out from the heater (22) into mechanical energy, and a condenser (24) for condensing and liquefying the expanded operation fluid, a temperature detector (206) for detecting the temperature of the operation fluid on the inlet side of the expansion unit (23), a pressure detector (207) for detecting inlet-side pressure (Pex_in) of the expansion unit (23), a pressure detector (208) for detecting outlet-side pressure (Pex_out) of the expansion unit (23), and control units (30, 32). The control units control a command rotational speed (N_id) of the expansion unit (23) based on superheated degree information (SH) at the inlet of the expansion unit obtained from the operation fluid temperature and the inlet-side pressure, and pressure information (P) in which the outlet-side pressure (Pex_out) is considered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a waste heat utilization device for recovering power by utilizing waste heat of a heat-generating device such as an internal combustion engine for a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a waste heat utilization device that recovers power by utilizing waste heat of an internal combustion engine. The waste heat utilization device has a Rankine cycle including: a heater that heats a working fluid using waste heat from an internal combustion engine; an expander (turbine) that expands the heated working fluid to generate rotational driving force; Condenser for condensation of working fluid. [0003] For example, in the Rankine cycle described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-60462, the rotational speed of the expander is controlled so that the high-pressure side pressure (inlet-side pressure) of the refrigerant flowing into the expander matches a target pressure. [0004] Considering t...
