Abstract:
1. complex fluid machine comprising: a compressor device for a refrigerating cycle for compressing and pumping out working fluid upon receiving a driving force from an outside driving source; and an expansion device for a Rankine cycle for generating a driving force by expansion of working fluid in the Rankine cycle; wherein the compressor device and the expansion device are formed as scroll type devices and independently operated from each other, each of the compressor device and the expansion device has a non-orbiting scroll, and the compressor device and the expansion device share a common base plate, the non-orbiting scroll of the compressor device has a first non-orbiting scroll wrap formed at and extending in one direction from the common base plate, the non-orbiting scroll of the expansion device has a second non-orbiting scroll wrap formed at and extending in the opposite direction from the common base plate, the compressor device further has a first orbiting scroll wrap intermeshed with the first non-orbiting scroll wrap to form a first working chamber, and the expansion device further has a second orbiting scroll wrap intermeshed with the second non-orbiting scroll wrap to form a second working chamber.
