Ericsson Cycle

Ericsson Cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which consists of constant pressure heat addition and rejection. The Ericsson Cycle is named after its Swedish inventor John Ericsson. It is a thermodynamic cycle upon which an Ericsson Engine works. Ericsson Engine is an external combustion engine. This engine works on either air or any other monophasic gas. Ericsson Cycle with ideal components can reach the thermal efficiency of the Carnot cycle.

Working principle of Ericsson engine

The working principle of the Ericsson Engine is based on this Ericsson Cycle. In Ericsson cycle heat is added and rejected at constant pressure. Also, compression and extension will take place at a constant temperature. Ericsson Cycle consists of a regenerator and a heat exchanger. A regenerator is used to add and remove heat from the working fluid.
