Abstract
A closed loop performing a Rankine cycle for a motor vehicle includes a circulation and compression pump for a working fluid, a heat exchanger swept by a hot source for heating said working fluid, expansion means for expanding the hot fluid and a cooling exchanger-swept by a cooling fluid for cooling this working fluid. A method of controlling the closed loop performing a Rankine cycle for a motor vehicle includes, after detecting a vehicle accident situation, in communicating the inside of the loop with the ambient air.
