In 1986, Mazda introduced the Mazda 626 Cappela model, which had a 2-liter diesel engine equipped with a Comprex wave rotor (from BBC) used as a supercharger. Mazda produced 150,000 Comprex diesel cars. In axial-flow configurations, noted Müller and co-authors in a 2004 paper, pure scavenging is a challenging task. Hîrceagã, M.,

The new cycle combines both Diesel and Ericsson Cycles into an integrated process to recover waste heat within a single thermodynamic cycle. Key changes to implement the integrated cycle are isothermal compression and heat addition from the exhaust gas to the charge air after the end of compression. Based on a modified MTU Series 396.

The unthrottled nature of the compression ignition process provides high engine efficiency while achieving compliant exhaust emissions with conventional, low-cost aftertreatment. Although Achates’s work to date has been with diesel, its fundamental approach is suited for advanced combustion regimes using other fuels as well.
