Title:
ROTARY TYPE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/104685
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The engine comprises: a stator (2) including a stator inlet opening (1) intended to admit a compressed gaseous oxidant flow, and a stator exhaust opening (6) intended to discharge burnt gases; and a rotor (3) mounted in the stator (2) in a fluid- tight manner and rotatable with respect to the stator (2) around a rotation axis (X-X). The rotor (3) has a rotor inlet orifice (5) oriented in the axial direction and intended to face the stator inlet opening (1) in a manner such to receive the compressed air flow, a combustion chamber (8) communicating with the rotor inlet orifice (5), and an exhaust duct (9) which leads in a transverse direction from the combustion chamber (8) to the periphery of the rotor (3) and is adapted for discharging burnt gases through the stator exhaust opening (6). The inlet opening (5), the combustion chamber (8) and the exhaust duct (9) are arranged for always being in fluid communication with each other during the rotation of the rotor (3), without the interposition of valve members situated among them. The engine also includes seal members (10, 11) arranged for sealing the rotor inlet orifice (5) and the exhaust duct (9) when they face the internal surface of the stator (2).
