Abstract:
1. A system for utilizing waste heat of an internal combustion engine via a Clausius-Rankine cycle process, the system comprising: a circuit having lines with a working medium; a pump configured to convey the working medium; an evaporator heat exchanger configured to vaporize the working medium with the waste heat of the internal combustion engine, the evaporator heat exchanger including a flow duct, an inlet opening for conveying the working medium into the flow duct and an outlet opening for conveying the working medium out of the flow duct, the flow duct being divided into a plurality of flow duct parts connectable in parallel hydraulically; an expander; a condenser configured to liquefy the vaporized working medium; and a collecting and equalizing tank for the liquid working medium; wherein the evaporator heat exchanger has a mixing duct, wherein, in a flow direction of the working medium, at least two flow duct parts, connectable hydraulically in parallel, open into the mixing duct, and wherein, in the flow direction of the working medium, the mixing duct opens into at least two flow duct parts connectable hydraulically in parallel.
