Our company has been engaged in the 2-stroke
engine business for over 19 years.
Our thermal unit consists of an aluminium alloy cylinder with
silicon carbide coating (ceramic coating), a piston of hyper-eutectic alloy (22% silicon) and a head of tempered aluminium alloy.
The cylinder is provided with 2 lateral ports plus one front ports, this port is opened 1 mm after the opening of the two principal ports and brings the flow of fresh mixture to the combustion chamber, contributing to cooling it, increasing turbulence and hence improving combustion.
The piston is provided with two rings of spheroidal cast iron of thickness reduced to decrease friction on the cylinder liner; furthermore, the limited mass ensures a gas seal even at high revs since the inertia is not sufficient to maintain the rings at the top of the slot at the instant when the piston starts to descend but is pressed downwards and against the cylinder by the gas, avoiding leakage of gas and consequent seizure.
The head, manufactured of an alloy of aluminium and silicon, is provided with radial cooling fins so as to permit good dissipation of heat with any angle of A/C.
The combustion chamber is designed in such a way that it can operate with low anti-knock petrol and is provided with a squish angle. This design ensures that during compression of the mixture, not only is turbulence and consequently efficiency increased, but also that no pockets of fresh gases form at the edge of the piston. If such pockets form, they may explode because of increased compression by the piston and the combustion flame front. The design of the central part of the combustion chamber also concentrates pressure on the crown of the piston, generating the work required.
The drive shaft is of tempered and rectified steel and is extremely strong. All screws are made in titanium.
The engine shaft is supported on 2 oblique bearings with two rows of balls that can withstand even sharp acceleration.
The general configuration of these motors allows relatively high operating temperatures. The exhaust gases are kept at about 640°C and the head can reach 260°C.
