US 2014/0110939 A1 · WASTE HEAT POWER GENERATOR

Abstract

The waste heat power generator (G1, G2) includes: an evaporator (1) configured to produce steam of a working medium; a power-generating device (2) configured to generate electric power while expanding the steam; a condenser (3) configured to condense the steam which has passed through the power-generating device (2); and a pump (5) configured to send the condensed working medium to the evaporator (1). Furthermore, the waste heat power generator (G1, G2) includes: a valve device (6) configured to perform supply or supply stop of a cooling medium used to cool the power-generating device (2), to the power-generating device (2); and a controller (7) configured to control the valve device (6) based on a temperature of the power-generating device (2).
