Disclosed is an energy recovery apparatus 100 for an internal combustion engine 102 having an exhaust outlet 110. The energy recovery apparatus 100 comprises: a fluid supply means 114 arranged to supply a fluid and a piston-less rotary expander mechanism 118. The piston-less rotary expander mechanism 118 is arranged to receive exhaust gases from the exhaust outlet 110 and fluid from the fluid supply means 114. The piston-less rotary expander mechanism 118 is powered by the fluid and the exhaust gases. An internal combustion engine comprising the energy recovery apparatus 100 is also disclosed. The fluid may be heated by a heat source and the fluid may comprise water. The piston-less rotary expander 118 may comprise a rotary Wankel engine. The piston-less rotary expander mechanism is used to recover otherwise lost energy from exhaust gases and may be used to rotate a drive shaft. |
