Abstract

The invention provides a heat exchanger for a rankine cycle in a vehicle. A vehicle includes a Rankine cycle containing a working fluid for waste heat recovery and has an evaporator. The evaporator has a heat exchanger tube positioned for generally horizontal flow of the working fluid therethrough. An inlet header is connected to a lower surface of an end region of the tube. An outlet header with a plurality of risers is positioned for generally vertical flow of the working fluid. The risers are connected to and spaced apart along an upper surface of the tube.
