Rotary Valves Make Normal Valves Look Silly - Why Aren't We Using Them?

Apr 14, 2024
It occupies a lot of space. If this will be true for the largest engines with larger combustion cameras that I really do not know, just something to take into account the other small inconvenience that I noticed, and it is from the BSA Special, the Ralph Watson car, the Ralph Watson car, we can see traces of combustion, in the lower part of the valve, and this is due to the fact that the cavity of the

rotary

valve cannot be sealed against the combustion chamber. We are only sealing the sides of the barrel, so it starts from the combustion gas, part of the combustion energy escapes the camera and enters the small small space that is around the valve.

This is a very small volume, but it is still a small loss of energy and, therefore, a small loss of efficiency. It is probably a very small loss that is overcome by the elimination of valve springs and camshaft and other things, but again something to take into account. There is also a small benefit when you think about camshafts and

rotary

valves

. The rotating valve barrel is simply rotating, as is a camshaft and is also driven by a distribution strap or distribution chain as well as a camshaft, which means that we can take a variable valve synchronization gear and join the rotating valve barrel and obtain synchronization of the variable valve

the existing technology with great ease.

So, a convenient small benefit. I guess that's all. Definitely, a promising technology with its small challenges in terms of sealing and the moment is not ideal, but still, regardless of whether it happens in the next decade or two or not, it is still worth knowing because it serves as a very good demonstration of the deficiencies of the valve of the ubiquitous population. So that's all, as always, thank you very much for seeing, I will see you soon with more fun and useful things on the D4A channel
