How does a RCV engine work?
How does a RCV engine work?
The RCV engine incorporates a conventional crank and piston. As the engine rotates through 720 degrees the combustion chamber in the valve communicates successively with the inlet port, the spark plug, and the exhaust port. The RCV engine is thus operating on a conventional 4 stroke cycle.

What is a 2 stroke glow engine?
A 2-stroke engine makes one revolution for every power cycle. As the piston moves upward in the sleeve, it compresses a fresh charge of fuel/air mixture. The compression heats up the fuel mixture and is ignited by the glow plug. This draws air and fuel into the crankcase from the carburetor and into the intake port.
What is an ABC glow engine?
The ABC stands for Aluminum, Brass, Chrome. It means the engine has an aluminum piston that is running inside of a Brass cylinder that is chrome plated. The ABC engine has the potential for more power and requires very little break-in. It is, however, less tolerant of dirt or dust that may be ingested by the engine.
What is a RC glow engine?
An RC glow engine uses a glow plug to ignite its fuel and air mixture. Nitro engines are a type of glow engine. The glow plug is heated with electric current during the starting procedure after which the wires disconnected and a combination of residual heat and catalytic action of the plug ignites the fuel.
How long does RC glow fuel last?
RCNT Racer fuel lasts around 6 months before you start hitting trouble.
What is RC nitro fuel?
RC glow engines use nitro fuel, a methanol-based fuel with nitromethane and oil added. The amount of nitromethane in the fuel is typically about 20% but could be anywhere in the 10% to 40% range or higher. Castor oil or synthetic oil is added to the fuel to provide lubrication and cooling.
What does Kv mean in brushless motors?
Answer: “Kv” refers to the constant velocity of a motor (not to be confused with “kV,” the abbreviation for kilovolt). It is measured by the number of revolutions per minute (rpm) that a motor turns when 1V (one volt) is applied with no load attached to that motor.
How do you convert Kv to RPM?
The higher the voltage, the faster a motor spins. The Kv rating designates the RPM a motor will spin at full throttle when unloaded given an input voltage. To estimate the RPM of a motor, simply multiply the Kv value by the battery voltage.
What kind of engine is an RCV engine?
RCV Rotary Valve Multi-Fuel 4-Stroke Engines Utilizing patented rotary valve technology and a four-stroke engine, RCV Engines designed for low emissions, low fuel consumption, and turn-key heavy-fuel operation.
Why choose RCV?
Our mission is to continue to research and develop new and exciting RC products, maintaining quality and performance and bring them to you at reasonable prices. RCV has long-standing international distributorships with leading RC brands around the world.
What size glow fuel for RCV Engines?
The RCV engines have a lower compression ratio and you may need to run 15% nitro glow fuel in them to compensate. That gets them idling really well and good transition through the mid range. The .58 or .60 engines tend to be about equal to a .40 size two stroke glow engine.
