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

Green Car Congress

Today’s engines can deliver a fuel efficiency of 40-42%, with corresponding loss of initially available fuel energy of 58-60%. Regenerative Air Preheating (RAP) uses a counterflow heat exchange between exhaust and inlet air via solid media (e.g., Really we’re trying to push the boundaries in our thinking.at
