Abstract: A hydrogen system includes a compressor that includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode on a first primary surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode on a second primary surface of the electrolyte membrane, and a voltage applicator that applies a voltage between the anode and the cathode, the compressor producing compressed hydrogen by causing the voltage applicator to apply a voltage between the anode and the cathode to move hydrogen in hydrogen-containing-gas containing steam supplied to the anode to the cathode via the electrolyte membrane; a supply path through which the hydrogen-containing-gas containing steam to be supplied to the anode flows; a cooling mechanism disposed in the supply path; and a heat exchanger disposed in the supply path, the heat exchanger exchanging heat between the hydrogen-containing-gas flowing through the supply path upstream of the cooling mechanism and the hydrogen-containing-gas flowing through the supply path downstream of the cooling mechanism.

Abstract: A CHP system includes a combustor as a heat source, a Rankine cycle apparatus, a second heat exchanger, and a thermal fluid flow path. The Rankine cycle apparatus includes, as an evaporator, a first heat exchanger that absorbs thermal energy from combustion gas (thermal fluid). The second heat exchanger absorbs thermal energy from the combustion gas and transfers the thermal energy to a heat medium. The first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are disposed in the thermal fluid flow path. The thermal fluid flow path includes a first flow path that allows the combustion gas to reach the first heat exchanger directly from the combustor and a second flow path that allows the combustion gas to reach the second heat exchanger directly from the combustor.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle apparatus includes a pump, an evaporator, an expander, a condenser, and an internal heat exchanger. The internal heat exchanger allows heat exchange to take place between a working fluid discharged from the expander and a working fluid discharged from the pump. A temperature of the working fluid at an inlet of the expander is set so that a temperature of the working fluid at an outlet of the expander be higher than a saturation temperature on a high-pressure side of the cycle.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle apparatus includes a pump, an evaporator, an expander, and a condenser. The evaporator has a plurality of heat transfer tubes arranged in rows in a flow direction of a high-temperature fluid to be heat-exchanged with a working fluid. The heat transfer tube located in a most upstream row in the flow direction of the high-temperature fluid is defined as a most upstream heat transfer tube. For example, the most upstream heat transfer tube forms an inlet of the evaporator so that the working fluid flows into the evaporator through the inlet and first passes through the most upstream heat transfer tube.

Abstract: A Rankine cycle apparatus (1A) of the present disclosure includes a main circuit (10), a heat exchange portion (HX), a bypass flow path (20), a flow rate-adjusting mechanism (3), and a pair of temperature sensors (7A). The main circuit (10) is formed by an expander (11), a condenser (13), a pump (14), and an evaporator (15) that are circularly connected in this order. The heat exchange portion (HX) is located in the main circuit (10) at a position between an outlet of the expander (11) and an inlet of the pump (14). The bypass flow path (20) branches from the main circuit (10) at a position between an outlet of the evaporator (15) and an inlet of the expander (11), and joins to the main circuit (10) at a position between the outlet of the expander (11) and an inlet of the heat exchange portion (HX). The flow rate-adjusting mechanism (3) adjusts the flow rate of the working fluid in the bypass flow path (20). The pair of temperature sensors (7A) detects temperatures of the working fluid at two positions spaced from each other in a flow direction of the working fluid.

Abstract: An evaporator which heats working fluid with high-temperature fluid to evaporate the working fluid includes: a working fluid channel which is arranged in a flow direction of the high temperature fluid and through which the working fluid flows; and a temperature sensor which is provided for the working fluid channel. A part of the working fluid channel is exposed to outside of a housing of the evaporator, and the temperature sensor is provided in the part of the working fluid channel exposed to the outside of the housing of the evaporator in a region other than an inlet of the working fluid channel into which the working fluid flows from the outside of the evaporator and other than an outlet of the working fluid channel through which the working fluid flows out of the evaporator. The output value of the temperature sensor is used to adjust the temperature of the working fluid in the evaporator.
