Patent ID: 7549412

Claim:
A system for recovering wasted energy from an internal combustion engine, said system comprising: a path of fluid gas flow extending between a fluid inlet and a conversion assembly, said path of fluid gas flow structured to direct fluid gas flow therebetween, a first temperature variant zone and a second temperature variant zone both disposed in communicating relation with said path of fluid gas flow and structured to vary the temperature of said fluid gas flow, said first and second temperature variant zones each respectively connected to a different first heat source and a second heat source, derived from the internal combustion engine, and said first heat source comprising a circulating cooling fluid associated with a cooling system of the internal combustion engine; said second heat source comprising exhaust gases associated with an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine, and said first and second temperature variant zones and said path of fluid gas flow cooperatively structured to facilitate an expanded volume of said fluid gas flow being directed along said path of gas flow to said conversion assembly.
