Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement for exhaust gas heat utilization comprising a steam generator arrangement () to which exhaust gas is applied, in which heat contained in the exhaust gas can be transferred to a working medium for further utilization, characterized by a heat accumulator () to which the exhaust gas can be applied, and control means for controlling exhaust gas partial flows according to a value representing the available heat energy of the exhaust gas by the heat accumulator and the steam generator arrangement. The arrangement is operated by means of a method using the following steps: a) applying exhaust heat to a steam generator arrangement; b) if more exhaust heat is available than required for the steam generation: diverting an exhaust gas partial flow into a heat accumulator; c) if less exhaust gas heat is available than required for the steam generation, and if the temperature of the heat accumulator is higher than the temperature of the exhaust gas entering into the arrangement: conducting the exhaust gas flow through the heat accumulator and subsequently through the steam generator arrangement.
