To provide a technique suitable for securing the reliability of a Rankine cycle device.SOLUTION: A sensor detects (I) a pressure of a working fluid, (II) a temperature of the working fluid, or (III) a temperature of a cooling medium to be heat-exchanged with the working fluid in a condenser. When a detection value of the sensor is lower than a first threshold value, first control is started. The first control is of circulating the working fluid via an evaporator 2 and/or a heater 10 by a pump 1.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ランキンサイクル装置の信頼性を確保するのに適した技術を提供する。【解決手段】センサは、（Ｉ）作動流体の圧力、（II）作動流体の温度、または、（III）凝縮器において作動流体と熱交換されるべき冷却媒体の温度、を検出する。センサの検出値が第１閾値よりも低いときに、第１制御を開始する。第１制御は、作動流体を、ポンプ１により、蒸発器２および／またはヒータ１０を介して循環させる制御である。【選択図】図１
