Abstract

A rotary diesel engine in which the engine has seal means providing sealing cooperation between each working face of the engine rotor and the engine housing in the region of a lobe junction of the multi-lobe profile of said housing so that during compression, each working chamber is divided by said seal means into leading and trailing portions with the compression of the intake charge of said chamber being substantially confined to its said trailing portion whereby each working chamber compresses its charge to a substantially greater degree than would be the case in the absence of said seal means.
