[email protected] X-EngineTM Core Technology Platform
Creating the ideal engines for direct drive as
well as hybrid-electric power systems
With the X-Engine platform, LiquidPiston is advancing the
capabilities of internal combustion engines used in mobile power
applications for land, air and sea.
The X-Engine technology platform is inherently scalable and has
been demonstrated to-date in engines from 4hp to 70hp. The
X-Engine is a novel redesign of the rotary engine that is small,
lightweight, and implements portions of LiquidPiston’s advanced
patented High Efficiency Hybrid thermodynamic Cycle (HEHC).
Reinventing the Rotary Engine
Wankel Engine LPI X-Engine Overcoming the challenges of the
Wankel in a simple, power-dense design
The X-Engine can be likened to an “inverted” Wankel rotary
design, having a trochoidal rotor and three-lobed housing. It
leverages a stationary combustion chamber, which enables a
higher compression ratio with direct injection of fuel, leading
to better efficiency and optimized fuel air mixing. Additionally,
stationary apex seals reduce blow by and offer direct
lubrication, improving efficiency, emissions, and durability.
X-Engine solves the Wankel rotary engine
challenges with sealing, cooling, lubrication, The X-Engine has few moving parts and either three or six
combustion events per rotor revolution, resulting in very high
efficiency, emissions and durability.
power-density. Except for ancillary parts, there are only two
primary moving parts – the shaft and the rotor - making the
X-Engine simple and elegant in its implementation.
Optimizing Thermodynamic Performance
Increasing fuel efficiency with a
patented High Efficiency Hybrid Cycle
LiquidPiston’s HEHC is a patented thermodynamic
cycle that combines the advantages of Diesel,
Otto and Atkinson thermodynamic cycles to
improve on efficiency. The cycle incorporates high
compression ratio, constant-volume combustion,
and over-expansion.

The XTS-210: For Power on the Move
The XTS-210 is a 25 horsepower, two-stroke, supercharged, liq-
uid-cooled 210cc X-Engine variant currently under development
that reduces size and weight by nearly 80% over diesel engines
with comparable power output while targeting an SFC of under
350 g/kwh at maturity.
The XTS supercharger adds up to 1 bar boost while operating on
a 2-stroke cycle, producing 6 combustion events per revolution
of the rotor, to deliver smooth power from a miniscule package.
