STEAM BOTTOMING CYCLE STUDY FOR HEAVY DUTY TRANSPORT

A DOE/NASA sponsored study of steam bottoming cycles using diesel engine exhaust heat projected sustantial performance and economic benefits for long haul trucks. A state-of-the-art reciprocating expander steam system was ultimately selected for conceptual design and economic assessment. This 1000 psia 100 degree F simple cycle represents the combined operational experience of perhaps 10,000 steam engine hours at these conditions accumulated by several R and D firms in this field.
