Dearman-led consortium awarded $3.1M to develop waste-heat-recovery system using liquid air engine

Green Car Congress

After each expansion cycle the heat exchange fluid is recovered from the exhaust and reheated to ambient temperature via a heat exchanger similar to a conventional radiator. Some of the heat that will inevitably escape down the exhaust will be converted into electricity using a thermoelectric generator (TEG). Earlier post. ).
