Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009109311A2] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine (10), wherein the exhaust flow coming therefrom is used as heat source for a Clausius-Rankine cycle process. The capacity of a pump (14) pumping to the Clausius-Rankine cycle is variable and is adjusted through the action of a controller (24), depending on the exhaust mass flow and possibly also the exhaust temperature. The invention permits the application of a unique Clausius-Rankine cycle in a motor vehicle.
