Abstract: An internal combustion engine system with heat recovery includes an internal combustion engine with a waste heat passage, an electric motor, a heat recovery assembly including a working fluid circulation circuit with a working fluid, a first heat source which is adapted to be heated by the waste heat passage and adapted to heat the working fluid, and an expander engine, which is operated by the heated working fluid, and a splitting device, which is connected to the electric motor and is adapted to be connected to a drivetrain of a vehicle and which splitting device is further connected to the expander engine, so that the expander engine is enabled to drive the drivetrain and/or the electric motor. The internal combustion engine system further includes at least a second heat source for providing heat to the heat recovery assembly. A vehicle including such an internal combustion engine system is also provided.

Abstract: An exhaust gas system includes an arrangement for conveying an exhaust gas stream and a thermodynamic engine connected to the exhaust gas stream conveying arrangement for recovery of heat from the exhaust gas stream. The thermodynamic engine includes a working fluid circulation circuit. The exhaust gas system includes at least one working fluid release arrangement which is connected between the working fluid circulation circuit and the exhaust, gas conveying arrangement for releasing the working fluid from the working fluid circulation circuit to the exhaust gas conveying arrangement. The exhaust gas stream conveying arrangement includes at least one exhaust gas treatment unit. Further, the working fluid release arrangement is connected upstream of or directly to the exhaust gas treatment unit.
