EXHAUST GAS HEAT RECOVERY UNIT AND EXHAUST GAS HEAT RECOVERY METHOD

摘要

An exhaust gas heat recovery unit includes a plurality of heat pipes (23) each of which includes a heater-side heat pipe portion (23a) positioned on the side of a heater (21) which heats pure water using heat of exhaust gas discharged from an engine and an evaporator-side heat pipe portion (23b) positioned on the side of an evaporator (22) which evaporates the pure water, heated at the heater-side heat pipe portion (23a), using the heat of the exhaust gas. The pitch of heater-side corrugated fins (28a) on the outer periphery of the heater-side heat pipe portion (23a) is set to substantially half the pitch of evaporator-side corrugated fins (28b) on the outer periphery of the evaporator-side heat pipe portion (23b).
