Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A waste heat retrieval system of a vehicle may include a reservoir disposed in a lower side of a exhaust gas boiler and in which a predetermined space is formed, a retrieval line that connects the exhaust gas boiler with the reservoir, a retrieval supply control valve disposed to open or close the retrieval line, and a control portion that controls the retrieval supply control valve to open the retrieval line such that working fluid of the exhaust gas boiler is returned to the reservoir if a retrieval condition is satisfied. Accordingly, the working fluid of the exhaust gas boiler in a waste heat retrieval system may be retrieved to the reservoir and therefore the freezing problem of the working fluid can be substantially resolved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A waste heat retrieval system of a vehicle, the system comprising: an exhaust gas boiler that uses exhaust gas of an engine to heat working fluid; a superheater that vaporizes the heated working fluid generated from the exhaust gas boiler, and a turbine that uses the vaporized working fluid generated from the superheater to generate torque; a reservoir disposed in a lower side of the exhaust gas boiler and in which a predetermined space is formed; a re…
