My take on the dissertation is that air
bleed like used on turbine
engines is used to control boost
pressure. One problem I can see with
that is possible overspeed of the
turbine which could have catastrophic
results. Using a wastegate and putting
that back into the exhaust going
through an axial flow power recovery
turbine makes more sense to me.

Hi, it is a turbocharged intercooler
system for conventional turbocharged
engines. It is not intended for rotary
charge cooling but might be useful
for that. The turbocoolers
turbine is powered by boosted intake air which
drops in pressure and temperature going
through it. They claim sub ambient
temp air to the intake manifold.

Paul,
I think the aircycle system is similar to Aircraft air conditioning systems.
They cool the hot compressed gas with intercoolers and then re-release
it for cooling.
Attached is an example. Notice that they even use the condensation to
spray across the coils for added efficiency.
This system will spit snow and ice if not properly balanced.

Lowering the intake air below 150 F has little benefit.
The cost and additional weight would not be worth it.
An intercooler will do that particularly with a water spray.
With a rotary we can get all the HP we want.
