Hello all,
I am trying to get comfortable with some reliability
issues before jumping in.
1. Continuous operation at 6500rpm. I have seen
references that these engines are capable of long term
operation of 6500rpm. Anyone have any documention
anywhere that offers insight into this? I know that
racers rev up to 8500+rpm, but this is short duration.
Does the rotary have any history in continuous
moderately high rpm use (perhaps as a generator?)
Dan,
There is a company that builds a rotary engine stationary generator. They are located in Texas around the San Antonio area. Sorry, but I don't have an address as my hard drive crashed last week and I lost all that valuable information. As I recall, the TBO on them is in the thousands of hours, only being shut down for oil changes.
I once had a chart that shows bearing loads. Its lowest at 5900 rpms.
