The CryoPower Cool Combustion process enables recovery of otherwise wasted exhaust heat which is then cooled via the injection of a small amount of liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen acts as both a coolant and an additional source of energy, reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency.
This game-changing technology offers unprecedentedly high efficiency and near-zero emissions - in some cases, actually cleaner than ambient air. Cryopower's extreme efficiency translates to a fuel economy improvement of 30%. The Cryopower concept focuses on a split-cycle combustion process; instead of refining existing four-stroke engine technology, the engine divides four strokes between two paired cylinders: one for intake/compression, and another for power/exhaust. Using isothermal compression to control temperature, this engine concept was originally conceived as a means of enabling otherwise unachievable improvements in fuel economy and reduced CO2, targeted at achieving at least 60% brake thermal efficiency, making it significantly more fuel efficient than current engine technology.
The early development work carried out on the test rig installed at the University of 麻豆果冻传媒 not only validated the potential but also, crucially, demonstrated the highly impressive low-NOx emissions credentials of the CryoPower combustion process.
The technology is suitable for use with heavy duty engines running on diesel or a range of other liquid or gaseous conventional, bio- or synthetic fuels ranging from long-haul trucks, to stationary power, off-highway equipment, and self-powered and multi-mode railway traction.
