Pöördetüüpi

Pöördetüüpi refers to a type of rotary engine that operates on a principle of continuous rotation rather than reciprocating pistons. This design, often associated with the Wankel engine, utilizes a triangular rotor that rotates eccentrically within a specially shaped housing. The combustion process occurs in three distinct chambers formed between the rotor's faces and the housing's inner surface. As the rotor turns, these chambers sequentially expand and contract, performing the intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust phases of the engine cycle. Unlike traditional piston engines, pöördetüüpi engines have fewer moving parts, leading to a more compact and lighter design. They can also achieve higher rotational speeds and produce smoother power delivery due to the absence of reciprocating mass. However, they can present challenges in terms of sealing efficiency, thermal management, and fuel economy compared to their piston-based counterparts. Despite these drawbacks, the unique characteristics of pöördetüüpi engines have found applications in various fields, including automotive, aerospace, and even some specialized industrial machinery.
