<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a complex fluid machine that secures reliable air tightness in an expander without increasing the speed of a drive shaft, while increasing the speed of a rotor. <P>SOLUTION: A complex fluid machine 11 has: a gear pump 30 driven by the rotation of a drive shaft 21 to discharge working fluid ; an expander 40 that outputs mechanical energy by rotating the drive shaft 21 according to the expansion of the working fluid; and an electric generator 20 that generates electric power by rotating a rotor 20a. The complex fluid machine 11 has an electromagnetic clutch 31 connecting the engine and the drive shaft 21 with each other to transmit power, and is used for a Rankine cycle device 60. In the complex fluid machine 11, the rotor 20a is supported by the drive shaft 21 so as to be relatively rotated. The complex fluid machine 11 is provided with a speed-increasing mechanism D that rotates the rotor 20a at a speed higher than that of the drive shaft 21 by driving the gear pump 30. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
