ABSTRACT:
A Rankine cycle system having a working medium circulation circuit (110) that includes an evaporator (112), an expander (113), a condenser (114), and a feed pump (115) is provided in which a mixture of oil for lubricating the expander (113) and water, which is a working medium and has become mixed with the oil, is supplied to coalescer type water separating means (118), thus separating the water from the oil. The oil from which water has been separated in water separating means (118) is returned to the expander (113), and the water separated from the oil is returned to the working medium circulation circuit (110). It is thus unnecessary to replenish the working medium circulation circuit (110) with water or replenish the expander (113) with oil.
