Q
does rotary engine have valves
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
No, rotary engines, also known as Wankel engines, do not have valves. Instead, they utilize a design where a triangular rotor orbits in an epitrochoidal motion within a chamber, accomplishing intake, compression, ignition, and exhaust functions without the need for traditional valves. This unique characteristic contributes to the rotary engine's compact and lightweight design, offering smooth operation and a high power-to-weight ratio. However, it's also associated with challenges such as higher fuel consumption and oil usage compared to conventional piston engines. Despite these drawbacks, the rotary engine has found a niche in applications valuing compact size and high power output, notably in sports cars like the Mazda RX series.
