WASTE HEAT RECOVERY APPARATUS

摘要

A waste heat recovery apparatus includes a heat exchanger, an expander, a condenser, a first tank, a reflux portion, a first passage portion, and a second passage portion. The heat exchanger is configured to generate steam. The expander is configured to recover heat energy of the generated steam as power. The condenser is configured to condense the steam passing through the expander. An inlet portion of the condenser is arranged above an outlet portion of the expander. The first tank is configured to store the working fluid liquefied by the condenser. The reflux portion is configured to reflux the liquid-state working fluid in the first tank to the heat exchanger. The first passage portion connects the outlet portion of the expander and the inlet portion of the condenser to each other. The second passage portion connects the first passage portion and the first tank to each other.
