ABSTRACT:
A preheater system especially useful for diesel engine cold starts stores waste heat extracted from the engine exhaust flow in the form of chemical potential in a thermal storage material such as lithium bromide. The energy is retrieved during a cold start by direct hydration of that material to preheat engine intake air.
