Abstract:
A heat recovery structure includes a pipe portion, a heat exchanging portion and an actuator. The pipe portion is inclined such that a side face of the pipe portion faces a diagonally lower side, and is configured such that exhaust gas from an engine circulates through the pipe portion. The heat exchanging portion is configured to communicate with the pipe portion and to perform heat-exchange between a heat medium and the exhaust gas flowing into the heat exchanging portion from the pipe portion such that the exhaust gas thus subjected to the heat-exchange with the heat medium flows out to the pipe portion. The actuator is configured to operate a selector valve configured to switch between a state where the exhaust gas circulates through the pipe portion and a state where the exhaust gas circulates through the heat exchanging portion.
