The Coates Spherical Rotary Valve System (CSRV) replaces the traditional Poppet Valves and all their associated parts, springs, guides, seats, retainers, cotters, pushrods, cam followers, camshaft, camshaft bearings, and many more parts including the oil.

Animation: CSRV vs Poppet Valve

The CSRV System is comprised of only two moving shafts and does not utilize oil pressure fed bearings, or oil spray; in fact, no engine oil is present in the head of the CSRV Engine. This means the engine oil does not see the hottest parts of the engine, which was the exhaust Poppet Valves. These extremely hot components usually are engine oil spray cooled. This heat would breakdown the atomic structure of the engine oil, thus lowering the oil viscosity, therefore, oil changes are recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. On the other hand, with the CSRV incorporated in the engine design, oil change intervals are extended to approximately 50,000 miles or more.

Plans are in the works to design and manufacture 150 KW, 200 KW, 250 KW, 500 KW, and 1,000 KW Coates CSRV industrial natural gas electric power generator sets that will be used in the oil and gas industry utilizing flare off gas that would otherwise be wasted and flared off into our atmosphere. This way it will lower the harmful emissions that are released into our atmosphere, create more profit for the company and produce much needed electric power. This is a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Coates International, Ltd. President and CEO, Mr. George J. Coates, comments: “We have the most advanced patented green engine technology in the world today. The oil and gas industry needs this advanced CSRV technology right now. Here at Coates, we are working diligently to produce large numbers of CSRV industrial natural gas generator sets in China and in the USA to supply our customers in the oil and gas industry. Much progress is being made and we are forging ahead on all fronts with new castings, new components and parts which are in the manufacturing process.
