Abstract
An engine assembly is provided with a split-cycle internal combustion engine having a compression section and an expansion section and with a cooling circuit for circulating a heat-exchange fluid; said fluid has a boiling temperature such that at least a fraction of the fluid changes phase from liquid to vapour flowing through the expansion section of the engine, when the latter operates in steady conditions; the circuit comprises a turbine arranged downstream of the engine so as to receive vapour and produce mechanical energy from the expansion of the vapour.
