No, it does NOT run all the time, it is a "shot" basis, just like nitrous and water injection.





I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge concerning wankel tuning. I was unaware of their temperature sensitvity. I sounds like you tune the engine for a specific ambient temperature and lock it in. With our piston motors its not a concern (at least its not a large enough one that you need to worry about it). But according to rfreeman27,



if you have the proper temperature fuel correction maps then it should work. But this is beyond my knowledge...



But there is not a lot of water/ice that melts. I dont get why you think its a huge amount. Water injection is considerably larger in volume of injection, and even when it does melt, its slow, not like somebody dumping a bucket of water and ice.

Actually the ice build up is a lot thinner than 0.050, but its hard to measure the exact thickness of ice, becuase its more of a "frostlike" buildup. And the depth when you look at frost on the microscopic level varies on ~200%.



It takes ~10 seconds for a complete "chill" but the the tubes are 0.030" thick copper, so the heat transfer begins almost immediately.
