Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a waste-heat utilization assembly (1) of an internal combustion engine (50), comprising a working circuit (2) that conducts a working fluid. The working circuit (2) is equipped with a feed pump (6), an evaporator (10), an expansion machine (3) and a condenser (4) in the direction of flow of the working fluid. Additionally, the evaporator (10) is also arranged in an exhaust tract (53) of the internal combustion engine (50). The exhaust tract (53) is equipped with an exhaust bypass channel (61) parallel to the evaporator (10), and the exhaust tract (53) is equipped with an exhaust bypass valve (60), by means of which the distribution of the mass flow rate of the exhaust of the internal combustion engine (50) to the evaporator (10) and to the exhaust bypass channel (61) can be controlled. The waste-heat utilization assembly (1) further comprises a cooling device (20, 40, 30) which conducts a coolant, and the condenser (4) is arranged in the cooling device (20, 40, 30). Furthermore, at least one temperature sensor (37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 44) is arranged in the cooling device (20, 40, 30).
