Abstract
Various embodiments include a system for transmitting heat from an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine to a working medium comprising: a first heat exchanger connected to the exhaust gas; a second heat exchanger connected to the working medium and the first heat exchanger; and a heat transmission medium arranged in a predetermined heat exchanger volume and substantially completely in a liquid state with a predetermined volume of heat transmission medium at room temperature and normal pressure. The heat exchangers define the hermetically sealed heat exchanger volume. The heat transmission medium transmits heat from the exhaust gas to the working medium. A ratio between the predetermined volume of the heat transmission medium and the predetermined heat exchanger volume is set such that the heat transmission medium is substantially completely in a gaseous state when a temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds a threshold value.
