  • Patent number: 10184359
    Abstract: A waste heat recovery device including: a heater which evaporates an working medium by exchanging heat between supercharging air supplied to an engine and the working medium; a heat exchanger which heats the working medium by exchanging heat between the working medium which has flowed out from the heater and a heating medium; and an expander into which the working medium which has flowed out from the heat exchanger flows; a motive power recovery device; a condenser which condenses the working medium; and a pump which sends the working medium to a heater.

  • Patent number: 10047638
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat energy recovery system including: a heat energy recovery circuit that causes a working medium to circulate by means of a circulation pump to exchange heat with supercharged air from a supercharger via a first heater and exchange heat with steam from an exhaust-gas economizer via a second heater, in order to integrally drive a turbine and a generator; and a controller that performs stop control to stop the circulation pump based on the flow state of the steam in a first steam flow path that causes the steam to flow from the exhaust-gas economizer to a soot blower.

  • Patent number: 9995244
    Abstract: A heat energy recovery system includes an evaporator, a superheater, an expander, a power recovery device, a condenser, a pump, and a controller. The controller includes: an engine load calculation section; a maximum rotation speed determination section for determining a maximum rotation speed of the pump which is obtained when a pinch temperature reaches a target pinch temperature, based on a relational expression representing a relationship between the engine load and the maximum rotation speed, and an engine load; and a rotation speed regulation section for regulating the rotation speed of the pump in such a way as to allow the degree of superheat of the working medium flowing into the expander to be equal to or greater than a reference value, and to allow the rotation speed to be equal to or less than a maximum rotation speed determined by the maximum rotation speed determination section.

  • Patent number: 9732637
    Abstract: A waste heat recovery system includes: a heater which evaporates a working medium by exchanging heat between supercharged air supplied to an engine and the working medium; an expander which expands the working medium which has flowed out from the heater; a power recovery device connected to the expander; a condenser which condenses the working medium which has flowed out from the expander; a cooling medium supply pipe for supplying a cooling medium to an air cooler which cools the supercharged air which has flowed out from the heater; a cooling medium pump which is provided in the cooling medium supply pipe and which sends the cooling medium to the air cooler; and a branch pipe which bifurcates a part of the cooling medium flowing in the cooling medium supply pipe, to the condenser, in such a manner that the working medium is cooled by the cooling medium.
