A cycle residual boost and two release cavities are provided on a cylinder wall. Wankel cycle air pump is provided with additional cavities which allow the pressure output higher than its fixed compression ratio and further increase compression efficiency. An apex seal active tracking mechanism is also provided. Wankel cycle air pump rotor plates passage makes apex seals keep firmly contact against a cylinder.

The invention comprises a rotary engine apparatus and method of use thereof, where the rotary engine comprises multiple injection ports. Optional injection ports include a first port in an expansion chamber, a second port in the expansion chamber after a first rotation of the rotor, a third port into the expansion chamber after a second rotation of the rotor, a fourth port from a fuel path through a shaft of the rotary engine, and/or a fifth port into a rotor-vane chamber between the rotor and a vane. Optionally, one or more of the injection ports are controlled through mechanical valving and/or through electronic and/or computer control.

Accordingly, embodiments herein disclose a system (500) for controlling admission volume of an inlet gas for fixed RPM operation of in an apparatus. The system (500) has a boiler (502) for generating a steam at a higher pressure for heating application in a process. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) (504) controls a boiler pressure to process pressure. Inlet ports and exhaust ports are configured by intersection of opening on a rotor housing (614) and opening on a rotating valve. The inlet ports are designed in such a way that a port opening duration can be controlled to admit required volume of a steam corresponding to a mass flow requirement of the process. A port capable of changing the area and timing of opening in such a way that the duration and starting of exhaust can be controlled.

A vane cell machine includes a housing, rotor, curved ring, spring, and pressure piece. The rotor is configured to rotate about a rotation axis and includes a plurality of plate-like wings that are radially displaceable. The curved ring surrounds the rotor and delimits a movement path of the wings. Each pair of adjacent plate-like wings delimits a corresponding operating chamber. The housing surrounds and enables displacement of the curved ring. The spring is positioned between the curved ring and the housing, is pretensioned, and is configured to load the curved ring. The pressure piece is positioned between the spring and the curved ring, and sealingly abuts the housing and the curved ring so as to delimit a first and second pressure chamber from each other. The housing and the curved ring further delimit the first and second pressure chambers.

The invention is a rotary engine comprised of at least one and usually a plurality of independent partial engines. Two different processes can be carried out in each independent partial engine both of which are used to operate the engines. The processes of the invention are basically two different and separate closed cycle processes that can both operate within the same geometric confinement, i.e. the same expansion chamber or expansion chambers, at the same time. The primary process performs the main function of converting heat to kinetic energy and is necessary in all engines of the invention. It is a unique process that uses the expansion of gases and also the contraction of the condensing gases after their expansion. The secondary process is needed for start-up and to provide additional power in case the engine might go into a stall. In most engines of the invention both processes are needed to operate the engine.

A rotary piston machine includes a casing and a rotor assembly, each with a hypotrochoidal. The rotor assembly includes apices that conform to the hypotrochoidal profile of the casing, and the relative motion of the casing and the rotor assembly create variable volumes. The variable volume allows the rotary piston machine to function as a compressor, an expander, an internal combustion engine, a positive displacement pump, or a fluid-driven motor.
