A Revolutionary Split-Cycle Design

Our split-cycle engine design divides the four strokes of the combustion cycle between two cylinders—one intake/compression cylinder and one power/exhaust cylinder—that are interconnected by a Crossover Passage™.

The Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine

 

 

Key Features
  • Scuderi-Cycle combustion process—fires after top dead center
  • One combustion cycle per crankshaft revolution
  • Heat release optimally phased with peak power location
  • Fully variable intake and exhaust valves
  • Outwardly opening Crossover Passage valves
  • High geometric compression and expansion ratios

 

Laboratory Results

Independent laboratory results confirm that the Scuderi Engine has unusually fast and robust combustion; has a diesel like, flat torque curve; is highly knock resistant; produces less NOx than conventional internal combustion engines and is ideally suited for air hybridization.
