The Ericsson cycle is named after inventor John Ericsson, who designed and built many unique heat engines based on various thermodynamic cycles. He is credited with inventing two unique heat engine cycles and developing practical engines based on these cycles. His first cycle is very similar to what is now called the "Brayton cycle", with the exception that it uses external combustion. His second cycle is now called the Ericsson cycle.
