Abstract
A thermal system includes a Rankine cycle heat recovery device including a Rankine circuit having a first heat exchanger, an expander, a condenser, and a first pump. A cooling device having a cooling circuit that includes a second heat exchanger, a second pump, and a third heat exchanger with a device to be cooled. The thermal system comprises a device for regulating the pressure in the Rankine circuit and includes an enclosure delimiting a space and housing a movable part separating the space into first and second chambers. The first chamber communicates with the Rankine circuit and the second chamber communicates with the cooling circuit.
Claims11
A thermal system, in particular for a motor vehicle, including:
- a Rankine cycle heat recovery device including a Rankine circuit, in which a Rankine fluid circulates, the Rankine circuit including a first heat exchanger in which the Rankine fluid recovers heat from a heat source, an expander, a condenser, and a first pump,
- a cooling device including a cooling circuit in which a refrigerant circulates, said cooling circuit including a second heat exchanger in which the refrigerant gives heat to a cold source, a second pump, and a third heat exchanger with a device to be cooled and that comprises a pressure regulating device that regulates the pressure in the Rankine circuit, said pressure regulating device including an enclosure delimiting a space and housing a movable part separating the space into first and second chambers, the first chamber communicating with the Rankine circuit and the second chamber communicating with the cooling circuit.
