A Rankine cycle system includes: an evaporator for heating water with thermal energy of exhaust gas of an engine so as to generate steam; an expander for converting the thermal energy of the steam generated by the evaporator into mechanical energy; and a distribution device for manipulating the amount of water supplied to the evaporator in order to make the temperature of the steam supplied from the evaporator to the expander coincide with a target temperature. The distribution device controls a distribution ratio between the amount of water supplied to the entrance of the evaporator and the amount of water supplied to a portion partway along the evaporator, thereby suppressing an overshoot in the temperature of the gas-phase working medium due to a sudden increase in the thermal energy of the exhaust gas.
