The Ricardo CryoPower split-cycle engine concept redefines the processes of internal combustion to enable significantly improved internal thermal efficiency in comparison with today’s state-of-the-art engines. This enables recovery of otherwise wasted exhaust heat to the working gas after the end of compression.
