A - One of the biggest advantages of the Scuderi Split-Cycle Technology is design flexibility. Many features that require additional equipment or are just too difficult to implement in a conventional engine design are easily accomplished with a Scuderi Split-Cycle configuration. For example, supercharging can be added simply by increasing the diameter of the compression cylinder.

B - Piston friction can be reduced by offsetting the compression and power cylinders.
|
 |
C - A Miller cycle can be achieved simply by increasing the length of the power cylinder.

D - In the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine, a turbocharger can be used to recover energy from the exhaust of the engine. Pressurized air from the turbocharger is fed into the compression cylinder, reducing the amount of energy needed for compression. The net energy gain provided by the turbocharged operating mode is unique to the Scuderi Split-Cycle Engine and cannot be achieved when using conventional engine technology.
