Rotrex C15 Centrifugal Supercharger
The Rotrex C15 is an extremely compact centrifugal supercharger and is designed for a large variety of applications where space is one of the key issues. Countless number of small applications can now be boosted by this very efficient and silent unit which supplies air flow up to 0.22 kg/s. Through the patented high-speed planetary traction drive, the C15 achieves impeller speeds of up to 201,500 rpm. The exceptional high speeds of the drive give an unsurpassed power to size ratio compared to any other supercharger on the market.
The very low noise and vibration characteristic as well as the high efficiency of these superchargers set the industry standard for what is achievable.
The Rotrex C15-16 supercharger unit is capable of 170hp, 201,500 rpm impeller speed, and works best on engines up to 1.4L.
The Rotrex C15-20 supercharger unit is capable of 160hp, 180,000 rpm impeller speed, and works best on engines up to 1.3L.
The Rotrex C15-60 supercharger unit is capable of 220hp, 150,000 rpm impeller speed, and works best on engines up to 1.5L.
Kit includes oil cooler, 1 liter traction fluid, oil reseroir, oil filter and rubber lines
How does the Rotrex work?
Key to the Rotrex supercharger’s unique compactness, efficiency, low noise and reliability is its state of the art traction drive technology.
Great speeds and low noise are just some of the advantages of traction drives over traditional gear transmissions. Traction drives transmit power through friction forces between its rolling elements.
The Rotrex patented traction drive uses an elastic annulus with a small pre-span to secure contact between the roller planets and the sun shaft with a reasonable force. The patented “ramp effect” increases efficiency and reliability in the transmission by regulating the torque transfer capability on demand through self-adjusting planet geometry.
To enhance performance, the Rotrex traction drive uses a special traction fluid. These fluids are a new family of synthetic hydrocarbon oils and greases offering a series of unique performance advantages. Developed specially for its use in Rotrex superchargers, the SX100 momentarily increases viscosity under high surface pressure, enhancing the traction drive performance by securing the optimum friction between rolling elements while cooling and protecting the system.
This traction drive combined with the latest technology in centrifugal compression, characterized by high adiabatic efficiency and low noise, gives Rotrex superchargers an exceptional competitive edge over any other forced induction solution.
Professional installation is required
