WAM-100, WAM-120 & WAM-125BB

WAM 3 CylinderConfiguration: 3 cylinder, 2-stroke, compression ignition, liquid cooled engine of inverted configuration with pressure fed lubrication and integral sump.

Forced induction: by turbocharger compressor to an intercooler, from which air passes through an integral blower to the engine cylinders and  is thence exhausted through the turbocharger turbine.

Combustion system: low noise, clean burn, IDI; fuel injection is by a high pressure pump, lines and injectors; timing is factory set and adjustment is not required.

Valve gear: cam timing is factory set; the under-head camshaft is pressure fed with oil and operates 2 exhaust valves per cylinder via bucket tappets and shims; checking and adjustment via removable sump.

Cooling system: a gear driven pump circulates coolant through the engine and radiator, that can be mounted under the nose; an in-line thermostat provides temperature control.

Electrics:  light weight, geared, permanent-magnet starter motor with pre-engaging solenoid. Automotive glow plugs. 12V, 30/40A alternator, with internal regulator.

Fuel system: an integral low pressure lift pump supplies fuel via an engine mounted fuel filter to a high pressure, engine oil lubricated, injection pump, with a return circuit to tank. Feed and return connections both AN-6.

Controls: Mechanical Control Unit (MCU) controls and stabilises engine fuelling  and provides torque demand lever. Separate lever for engine shut-down. Torque and shut-down controls are both by standard aircraft type cables. A clevis fitting to crimp onto piano wire type cables is available.

Accessory drives:

  • AND20010 propeller governor drive pad, with oil transfer sleeve and drillings, feeds engine oil, controlled to the correct pressure by the governor, to the propeller flange.
  • AND20000 drive pad on injection pump for vacuum pump, hydraulic pump or secondary alternator.

Power / Torque / Engine RPM / Specific Fuel Consumption
T.O. – max 5 min: 93 kW (125bhp) / 323 Nm / 2750 / 255gm/kW hr (0.42lb/HP hr)
Max. continuous: 75 kW (100bhp) / 275Nm / 2560 / 250gm/kW hr (0.41lb/HP hr)
Economy Cruise: 62kW (83bhp) / 247Nm / 2400 / 240gm/kW hr (0.395lb/HP hr)

Cruise fuel flow is typically 25-30% less than gasoline engines at the same power setting.
