Using the ReCT-TRT, Rotary-engine Compression Tester System
The ReCT-TRT, rotary-engine compression tester is used to obtain accurate engine compression measurements in a rotary (i.e., Wankel) engine. Model ReCT-TRT can be used to conduct compression tests on two rotors simultaneously. The System combines the output from high-precision, AST pressure transducer(s) with the data conversion function of a DATAQ analog-to-digital device to acquire and record accurate compression readings for each face of each rotor in a rotary engine. This system also allows the calculation of engine cranking RPM during the test that can be used for data normalization as necessary.
