Heat engine for waste heat recovery plant, has working fluid introduction element and pump that are provided to introduce working fluid in condenser section into boiler section

摘要

The heat engine has boiler section (11) in which working fluid (14) is heated by using heat supplied from heat source (2). An output section (12) converts vapor exhausted out of boiler section into mechanical energy. A condenser section (13) condenses vapor used in output section into working fluid. A working fluid introduction element (15) sucks working fluid due to capillary force in the condenser section, to introduce boiler section. A pump (16) is driven by mechanical energy, to introduce working fluid in condenser section into boiler section.
