Magazine articlesRotrex C8 released
The C8, which has been developed especially for extremely compact applications, features a traction drive with an outer diameter of 91 mm (19 percent less than the already very compact Rotrex C15).
The Rotrex C8 features the well known whisper silent traction drive type as the other members of the Rotrex C family, but in an even further simplified design and will thus be even more economic than our larger superchargers.
This makes the C8 ideal for applications such as smaller fuel cells, subcompact cars, unmanned aircraft and small displacement motorcycles. The C8 has been released with a 240,000 rpm red line, a max air flow rate of 0.065 kg/s and as such can provide sufficient air for applications up to approximately 80 hp, depending on the actual application.
After an extended period of meticulous development Rotrex can now offer our clients the granddaddy of the C38 range: The C38-91.
Targeted specifically at those clients that want to enjoy the refinement and sheer acceleration of a Rotrex application but need that extra grunt and sheer power, the C38-91 features the best efficiency of the C38 range and flows 11% more than the C38-81.
Even at the very upper end of the power band, at a verified flow rate of 0.63 kg/s where no Rotrex has ever gone before, the measured efficiency of the Rotrex C38-91 is 65%, making sure your high power application will not unduly load your engine with thermal strain.
The C38-91, which shares the same basic drive dimensions and features a compressor housing only 8 mm longer (axial dimension) than that of the other members of the C38 family, serves up a peak (isentropic) efficiency above 75% and has a wide high efficiency island, guaranteeing forceful acceleration all through the engine rev range, as well as great gas mileage when you are not 'on the throttle'.
