IMazda ayizange inikezele ngenjini yakwaWankel. Emva kweminyaka kunye neminyaka yotyalo-mali, kubonakala ngathi ukubuyiswa kobu buchule benjini kuya kwenzeka ngokwenene.
Ngaphezulu kokuphosa kwixesha elidlulileyo, i-Mazda ilungiselele injini ye-Wankel "ethandekayo" (okanye injini ye-rotor, ukuba ukhetha) kwixesha elizayo. Ikamva lixhalabele ngakumbi okusingqongileyo nalapho umbane wemoto unikezelwa. Ke libala malunga nokubuya kwesandi esiphantse sibesisithulu kwaye sinomdla ngokulinganayo kuyilo lweWankel, injongo yahlukile…
Qalisa kwakhona i-Wankel Engine
Umbono wokuqala owadalwa nguFelix Wankel usahleli, kodwa uphinde waqanjwa ziinjineli zeMazda. Ukuthathela ingqalelo imifanekiso esetyenziselwa ukubhaliswa kwelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza (okugqanyisiweyo), kukho izinto ezintsha ezininzi kulo mbono.
Eyona nto icacileyo yindawo ye-rotor. Endaweni yokuma nkqo ebesazi kude kube ngoku, iMazda yagqiba ekubeni ibeke kwindawo ethe tye.
Kutheni ukwindawo ethe tye?
Ngalo mbuzo siya kwindawo ebalulekileyo. Le njini intsha yakwaWankel ayizukusebenza njengeyunithi yokuqhuba, kodwa njengesandisi seebhetri. Iya kusebenza njengejenereyitha encinci yamandla.
Iinjongo zakwaMazda kukubeka le njini yakwaWankel ngasemva emotweni, phantsi komzantsi wetrunk. Indawo eqinisekisa ubushushu obungcono, indawo encinci yokuchitha kunye nokupholisa okungcono. Kungoko ukhetho lwendawo ethe tye.
Kuthekani ngokuthembeka kwenjini?
Enye yeengxaki nge-injini ye-Wankel iphathelene nokuthanjiswa kwemiphetho ye-rotor. Ukusombulula le ngxaki, i-Mazda iya kukhwela i-injector yeoli encinci efana ne-L (imifanekiso 31, 31a, 81 kunye ne-82) ukuthambisa iindonga zegumbi lokutsha.
Le-milo ka-L ivumela inkqubo yokuthambisa ukuba ifakwe kwicala le-injini, ngaloo ndlela igalelo kwifom yefom ehlangeneyo ngakumbi. UMartin ten Brink, omnye wabanoxanduva lophawu, udize kulo nyaka ukuba injini entsha yakwaMazda Wankel iya kuba nomlinganiselo "webhokisi yezihlangu".
Siza kuyibona phi le njini? Kwaye nini.
Enye yezinto ezinokwenzeka kukuba le njini siyifumana kwikamva lombane, ekufuneka isekelwe kwisizukulwana esilandelayo iMazda2. Malunga nale nto enokwenzeka sele sibhale inqaku elibanzi onokuthi ulifunde apha.
