Is the Rotary Engine High in Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
Rotary engines have relatively high fuel consumption. Reasons: Due to the lack of high compression ratio found in reciprocating engines, the rotary engine often experiences incomplete combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber during operation, which can lead to increased fuel consumption. Below is an introduction to rotary engines: 1. Disadvantages: High fuel consumption and heavy pollution. Due to the absence of a high compression ratio like reciprocating engines, gasoline in rotary engines does not burn completely. 2. Working Principle: It uses the rotational motion of a triangular rotor to control compression and exhaust, which is completely different from the linear motion of traditional piston reciprocating engines. Mazda's rotary engine employs planetary gear technology, allowing the engine to eliminate its normal stroke, reducing size, weight, and displacement while achieving extremely high power and rotational speed.
