Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010054724A2] The invention relates to a Clausius-Rankine cycle, in particular for mobile applications, preferably in motor vehicles, comprising a pump (2) for driving a liquid working fluid in the Clausius-Rankine cycle (1) and applying pressure to the working fluid, a heating device (3) for evaporating the pressurized liquid working medium, an expansion device (4) for generating mechanical driving power by expanding the hot, compressed vapor, a condenser device (5) for condensing the hot, expanded vapor that can be fed to the pump (2) as liquid working fluid, and a collection volume (13) for collecting and storing liquid working fluid. In order to obtain a compact arrangement of the Clausius-Rankine cycle (1), the collection volume (13) is integrated into a housing (12) of the condenser device (5).
