ORNL Research Project Seeks to Boost Combustion Engine Efficiency To 50-60% By Reducing Combustion Irreversibility; RAPTR

Green Car Congress

RAPTR is being designed to investigate R egenerative A ir P reheating and T hermochemical R ecuperation concepts for reducing losses from combustion irreversibility. The modified approach incorporates two main concepts— Regenerative Air Preheating (RAP) and Thermochemical Recuperation (TR)—resulting in the acronym RAPTR. Stuart Daw.
