System zur Nutzung von Abwärme eines Verbrennungsmotors

摘要

The invention relates to a system for using the waste heat of an internal combustion engine by means of the Clausius-Rankine cycle, wherein an incorporation of an operating medium into the combustion air fed to the combustion engine due to lack of sealing or a leak at the evaporator heat exchanger is substantially ruled out. Said aim is achieved, according to the invention, in that the at least one first flow channel is formed by at least one first limiting component and the at least one second flow channel is formed by at least one second limiting component and there is a fluid-conducting connection to the surroundings or to a receiving chamber from the at least one first limiting component and preferably from the at least one second limiting component, so that in the event of a leak at the at least one first limiting component the operating medium can be conducted into the surroundings or into the receiving chamber and preferably in event of a leak at the at least one second limiting component the fluid can be conducted into the surroundings or into the receiving chamber.
