- F02C 3/02 using exhaust-gas pressure in a pressure exchanger to compress combustion-air (pressure exchangers per se F04F13/00)
- F02C 3/04 having a turbine driving a compressor (power transmission arrangements F02C7/36; control of working fluid flow F02C9/16)
- F02C 3/14 characterised by the arrangement of the combustion chamber in the plant (combustion chambers per se F23R; F02C3/205 takes precedence)
- F02C 3/20 using a special fuel, oxidant, or dilution fluid to generate the combustion products
- F02C 3/32 Inducing air flow by fluid jet, e.g. ejector action
- F02C 3/34 with recycling of part of the working fluid, i.e. semi-closed cycles with combustion products in the closed part of the cycle
- F02C 3/36 Open cycles
