Abstract
A steam generator () is provided for a Rankine cycle, especially for a waste heat recovery device () of an internal combustion engine (), and preferably in a motor vehicle. The steam generator includes: a heat exchanger channel (), in which a heat exchanger () is arranged, and a bypass channel () for bypassing the heat exchanger channel (). A heating fluid can flow through the heat exchanger channel () and bypass channel () during the operation of the steam generator (). A medium to be evaporated can flow through the heat exchanger () during operation of the steam generator (). A compact structural shape with high energy efficiency is achieved with the heat exchanger channel () enveloping the bypass channel ().
