Pistons (41) are slidably received in a plurality of cylinders (39) disposed radially in a rotor (31), and a plurality of vanes (42) cooperating with the pistons (41) are disposed radially in the rotor (31), so that a vane chamber (54) is defined between a pair of the adjacent vanes (42). The radial movements of each of the pistons (41) and each of the vanes (42) are substantially stopped, so that the volumes of each of the cylinders (39) and each of the vane chambers (54) are not changed, for a period from the end of an exhaust stroke at which a gas-phase working medium is discharged from the cylinder (39) and the vane chamber (54) to the start of an intake stroke at which the supplying of the gas-phase working medium is started. Thus, it is possible to prevent the generation of a water hammer phenomenon due to a liquid-phase working medium confined in the cylinder (39) and the vane chamber (54).

In a rotary fluid machine for converting the reciprocal movement of pistons and the rotational movement of a rotor from one into another by the engagement of rollers and annular grooves with each other, a value in a positive peak region of a pressure load of pistons received by the rollers engaged in the annular grooves and a value of a positive peak region of a centrifugal force load received by the rollers are set, so that they are substantially equal to each other, and phases of the two peak regions are deviated from each other. In addition, the phase negative peak region of a vane pushing-down load received by the rollers and the phase of the positive peak region of the pressure load of the pistons received by the rollers are established, so that they are overlapped at least partially on each other.

A waste heat recovery system for an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes first and second raised temperature portions. The raised temperature is higher at the first portion than at the second portion. A first evaporating portion generates a first vapor from the first raised temperature portion. A second evaporating portion generates a second vapor from the second raised temperature portion and with a lower pressure than the first vapor. First and second energy converting portions of a displacement type expander converts expansion energy of the first and second vapor into mechanical energy. A condenser and a supply pump are also provided.

An outer periphery of an output shaft integral with a rotor of an expander of a vane-type operated by a high-pressure vapor is supported at its opposite ends by a static-pressure bearing mounted at one end thereof in a floated state provided by a liquid film of a pressurized liquid-phase fluid supplied from a pressurized liquid-phase fluid feed bore through a pressurized liquid-phase fluid passage, and by a static-pressure bearing mounted at the other end thereof in a floated state provided by a liquid film of a pressurized liquid-phase fluid supplied from a pressurized liquid-phase fluid feed bore through pressurized liquid-phase fluid passages. Vanes supported radially in the rotor for reciprocal movement are supported in floated states by a liquid film of a pressurized liquid-phase fluid supplied through pressurized liquid-phase fluid passages extending radially outwards within the rotor.

Rotary type fluid machine includes a casing 7, a rotor 31 and a plurality of vane-piston units U1-U12 which are disposed in a radiate arrangement on the rotor 31. Each of the vane-piston units U1-U12 has a vane 42 sliding in a rotor chamber 14 and a piston 41 placed in abutment against a non-slide side of the vane 42. When it functions as an expanding machine 4, the expansion of a high pressure gas is used to operate the pistons 41 thereby to rotate the rotor 31 via vanes 42 and the expansion of a low pressure gas caused by a pressure reduction in the high pressure gas is used to rotate the rotor 31 via the vanes 41. On the other hand, when it functions as a compressing machine, the rotation of rotor 31 is used to supply a low pressure air to the side of pistons 41 via vanes 42 and further, the pistons 41 are operated by the vanes 42 to convert the low pressure air to the high pressure air. Thus, a rotary type fluid machine having expanding and compressing functions, with the merits belonging to the piston type and the merits belonging to the vane type, can be provided.

In a rotary fluid machine including pistons (37) reciprocally received in cylinders (33) provided in a rotor (27), and vanes (44) fitted in vane grooves provided in the rotor (27) for reciprocal movement, the rotor (27) includes a rotor core (31) which is supported on a rotary shaft (21) and in which the cylinders (33) are accommodated, and twelve rotor segments (32) separated in a circumferential direction and fixed to surround an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core (31); and each of the vane grooves (43) is defined between the adjacent rotor segments (32). Thus, the dimensional accuracy of the vane grooves (43) can be enhanced without need for a special accurate working or processing. In addition, the transmission of heat from the rotor core (31) of a relatively high temperature to the rotor segments (32) of a relatively low temperature can be blocked, whereby the dissipation of the heat to the outside of the rotor (27) can be suppressed, leading to an enhancement in heat efficiency, and moreover, the thermal deformation of various portions of the rotor (27) can be moderated.

A Rankine cycle system is provided in which, with regard to a given relationship between the pressure (Pevp) and the temperature (Tevp) of a vapor that is taken into an expander (4) that includes a cylinder chamber in a first stage and a vane chamber in a second stage, the chambers being disposed in line, the expansion ratio of the vapor that the expander (4) takes in and discharges is set at a predetermined expansion ratio (ε) according to the given relationship so that the pressure (Pexp2) and the temperature (Texp2) of the vapor that is discharged from the expander (4) coincide with target values, thereby making the expander (4) and the condenser (5) exhibit maximum performance. Since the vapor within the cylinder chamber in the first stage is in a superheated vapor region and contains no water, the phenomenon of water hammer will not be caused in the cylinder chamber. Furthermore, since the vapor at the exit of the vane chamber is in a saturated vapor region and contains water, the vane chamber can be lubricated and sealed by means of the water.

On the other hand, when it functions as a compressing machine, the rotation of rotor 31 is used to supply a low pressure air to the side of pistons 41 via vanes 42 and further, the pistons 41 are operated by the vanes 42 to convert the low pressure air to the high pressure air. Thus, a rotary type fluid machine having expanding and compressing functions, with the merits belonging to the piston type and the merits belonging to the vane type, can be provided.
