Rotary Systems Rotating Gas Union Contributes to Reduce Fuel Consumption

A motor vehicle engine manufacturer uses a state-of-the-art Plasma Transferred Wire Arc (PTWA) liner coating to reduce engine weight and internal piston friction loss. Using the same technology you would find on aircraft engines, Rotary Systems rotary unions are utilized in the spray apparatus that applies a composite coating on a the internal surfaces of the engine cylinder bores. The PTWA process uses air and electricity to create a plasma jet, which melts a steel wire that is fed into a rotating spray gun. Rotary Systems rotating gas union is an integral component of the main housing of the spray apparatus. It allows for the transport of consumables, plasma gas and air into the rotating components of the systems. The PTWA process delivers improvements in power, performance and fuel economy.  This partnership demonstrates how Rotary Systems continues to surpass our competition in opportunities that contribute to a cleaner environment.
