Abstract
The present invention relates to a waste heat recovery system including a first heating line, a second heating line, and a valve section. The first heating line in a working fluid circuit includes a first heat exchanger operatively connected to transfer heat energy to a working fluid. The second heating line in the working fluid circuit includes a second heat exchanger operatively connected to transfer heat to the working fluid. The valve section is selectively controllable to provide a first configuration in which the first heat exchanger and second heat exchangers are operatively connected to the working fluid circuit in parallel and a second configuration in which the first heat exchanger and second heat exchanger are operatively connected to the working fluid circuit in series.
