VEHICLE WASTE HEAT UTILIZATION SYSTEM AND VEHICLE EXHAUST HEAT UTILIZATION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To sufficiently utilize exhaust heat.

SOLUTION: This vehicle waste heat utilization system includes: a heat generation source mounted on a vehicle for generating heat; a heat accumulator 24 for housing a heat accumulation medium; a heat transfer medium channel arranged between the heat generation source and the heat accumulator 24 for circulating a first heat transfer medium for transferring heat generated in the heat generation source to the heat accumulation medium; a heat transfer medium carrying channel arranged between the heat generation source and the heat accumulator 24 for carrying a second heat transfer medium for transferring heat generated in the heat generation source to the heat accumulation medium; and a waste heat utilization system for utilizing the heat of the heat accumulation medium. The heat generated in the heat generation source is transferred to the heat accumulation medium through the first and second heat transfer media, and the heat of the heat accumulation medium is utilized in the waste heat utilization system.
