Ambient or low grade waste heat is used as an energy source with the cryogen providing both the working fluid and heat sink. When ambient or low grade waste heat is reintroduced to liquid air it boils and turns back into a gas, expanding 710 times in volume. This process can be driven by renewable or off-peak energy.

A key benefit of the Lepelletier architecture is that it reduces the complexity in connecting the gearsets and clutches. Locked converter operation at lower speeds means less wasted heat energy and better fuel economy. Too much pressure wastes fuel.
