CoolR split cycle engine

CoolR代表了发动机技术的根本转变，预计将内燃机效率提高到目前水平的140%。创新的CoolR分体式循环发动机通过采用准等温压缩实现了这一显著的标题效率。因此，该发动机将内燃机的高压缩比和低排放与联合循环燃气轮机的热回收能力相结合，以实现高效运行。该系统的原理已被Ricardo应用于发电厂。该计划的目标是确定10年内以车辆为中心的概念变体的技术可行性和最佳市场路线。

CoolR represents a fundamental shift in engine technology that is expected to increase Internal Combustion Engine efficiency to 140% of current levels. The innovative CoolR Split Cycle engine achieves this remarkable headline efficiency by employing quasi-isothermal compression. The engine thus combines the high compression ratios preferred for efficient running, plus low emissions, of internal combustion engines with the heat recuperating capabilities associated with combined cycle gas turbines.The principles of this system have been deployed already by Ricardo in a power generation plant. The objective of this programme is to determine the technical feasibility and best route to market of a vehicle-centric concept variant within 10 years.
