It expands all the way to ambient pressure before the exhaust stroke. The power is produced in almost a 50-50 split between the combustion (central) and exhaust (largest) pistons. Transfer from the combustion cylinder to the exhaust cylinder takes place when the exhaust cylinder volume is minimal. and O’Malley, E.

ORNL Researchers Find Thermochemical Exhaust Heat Recuperation In Internal Combustion Engines Could Provide Substantial Boosts in Second-Law Efficiency

Green Car Congress

When reforming is not used, the fuel and exhaust pass through CV2 unchanged. The basic concept of TCR involves using exhaust heat to promote on-board reforming of hydrocarbon fuels into syngas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen). The syngas is then burned in the engine in place of some or all of the original fuel.

Scuderi Group Unveils Cutaway Model of First Production Prototype of Split Cycle Engine

Green Car Congress

The one-liter, naturally-aspirated gasoline prototype is expected to produce up to 80% fewer criteria pollutants than a typical internal combustion engine. When fully developed with its turbocharged and air-hybrid components, the engine is expected to achieve significant gains in fuel efficiency. Engine speed.
