The advantages of the MRCC

COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL 4-STROKE ENGINE

Longer lifespan
  • Slow speed of rotor seals
  • Robust hydraulic solutions
Less noise pollution
  • No heavy part with reciprocating motion
  • Less vibration : rotation in a cylinder generates no unbalance
Less gas pollution
  • Good control of combustion parameters (number and type of spark plugs, tumble, velocity of gas on intake)
  • Little NOx (gas remains only briefly at high temperature owing to operating kinematics)
  • Natural postcombustion effected by secondary air let into the passive variable-volume spaces. This air helps to cool the rotor by ventilation, and is evacuated via the exhaust.


COMPARED TO THE WANKEL ENGINE

High compression rate
  • Unlike the Wankel engine, the MRCC does not involve a difficult compromise between design parameters, choice of volumetric ratio and engine dimensions.
Better combustion
  • The combustion problems caused by the elongated shape of the Wankel engine's chamber and the movement of the flame front are non-existent in the MRCC
Better seal
  • The MRCC does not have the Wankel's airtightness problems because unlike the Wankel, the cylindrical shape of the stator allows the rotor seals to function at a constant angle to the stator wall.
