Abstract: Waste heat recovery by means of a Rankine Cycle is a promising approach for achieving significant reductions in fuel consumption and, as a result, exhaust emissions of passenger car engines. This approach is already well established in industrial applications such as gas and steam power plants or ship propulsion systems. While these systems are mainly designed for stationary operation, the behaviour in highly dynamic operating conditions becomes more important when the principle is transferred to a passenger car engine.
