Abstract

There is described a system and method for controlling a temperature in the subchamber of a rotary engine. At least one first measurement of at least one engine operating parameter and a second measurement indicative of a present temperature in the subchamber are received. A setpoint for the temperature in the subchamber is computed from the at least one first measurement. In response to the second measurement, at least one control signal indicative of a request to adjust the present temperature towards the setpoint is generated and sent to the engine.
