| ABSTRACT |
|
A new mechanical-hydraulic variable valve actuation (VVA) system was developed and a thin-wall orifice
velocity control system were analyzed. Meanwhile, influence of speed, needle valve overflow area, oil temperature and oil
supply pressure on valve motion characteristics were explored, as well as the VVA system have been applied on a
single-cylinder engine preliminary. By the VVA system, valve lifts can be adjusted from maximum of 8.7 mm to fully
closing. Valve seating velocity decreased with orifice diameter reducing. Seating velocity can be maintained below 0.5 m/s
with 0.8 mm diameter of thin-wall orifice and 3 mm check valve moving distance. Besides that, velocity control system also
can help improve the coefficient of cyclic variation of maximum valve lift. Except for the needle valve closing state, valve lift
decreased with oil temperature increasing and operating speed reducing under the same needle valve state. Oil supply
pressure hardly had no influence on valve lifts, but delayed valve opening timing with pressure decreasing. Thin-wall orifice
seating velocity control system was not sensitive to variable oil temperature and supply pressure. Compared with
conventional engine, adjusting intake valve by VVA system under un-throttle internal EGR strategy, can improve BSFC and
NOX emissions significantly about 13.8 % and 19.8 % on 6 bar IMEP. |
