Has anyone thought about using one of these scaled-up for large diesel engines?
Having these allows for keeping air/fuel ratio optimal (λ = 1) through a larger range of power outputs and increases efficiency by allowing for the extraction of more energy from the exhaust gases.
For instance, a diesel locomotive could use one to boost power to its motors or for head-end power. LNG carriers could use the energy generated to refrigerate the cargo.
I understand it'll be complex and difficult to implement but the potential is huge.
