Abstract
Control means () that controls the actuation of Rankine cycle () is provided. An evaporator () is capable of absorbing heat from the waste heat of the internal combustion engine () with an upper limit of preset maximum heat absorption amount and transferring the heat to working fluid. The control means () controls the flow rate of the working fluid so that the working fluid evaporated by the evaporator () comes into a superheated state in a heater (), when the working fluid enters the evaporator () at a flow rate equal to or lower than preset flow rate at which the working fluid can absorb the preset maximum heat absorption amount of heat, and controls the flow rate of the working fluid so that the working fluid that overflows the evaporator () is evaporated by the heater () and then comes into the superheat state, when the working fluid enters the evaporator () at a flow rate higher than the preset flow rate.
