Potential of Fuel Consumption Saving of Brayton Waste Heat Recovery Systems on Series Hybrid Electric Vehicles by Bou Nader, Wissam

“…Therefore, the resulting high exhaust gas temperature presents the advantage of increased WHR efficiency. Brayton cycle offers a relative reduced weight compared to other WHR systems and present low complexity for integration in vehicles since it relies on open system architecture with air as working fluid, which consequently avoid the need for a condenser compared to Rankine systems. …”
