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. The liquid nitrogen is thus both a coolant and an additional energy vector, which offsets some of the fuel requirement.
