ABSTRACT
With rising demand of power , better performence and fuel
economy in automobile vehicles. engineer do many research
andfinally they got success in the form of a new breed of
engine known as ‘w engine’. one of the first W engine was a
three cylinder (W3 ), built by ANZANI in 1906 to be used in
moter cycle. The NAPIER in 1917 lion aircraft engine was
an ealry W12 engine

The w engine set exacting demand on design.large


number of cylinder were adapted to exteremly compact
dimension of engine. In this process. More attention was pad
to light weight design.
INTRODUCTION
A W engine is a type of reciprocating engine arranged with its
cylinders in a configuration in which the cylinder banks resemble the
letter W, in the same way those of a V engine resemble the letter V.

A W 12 Engine is a 12 cylinder piston internal combustion engine in a w


configuration. W 12 engine have been manufactured in the two distinct
configuratoion. To compact engine from the VR series are combined to
produce a w engine. The result in a series of compact gasiline engine
rasing from a W8 to be W16.
W STANDS FOR –
With the aim of building even more compact engines
with a large number of cylinders, the design features
of the V and VR engines were combined to produce
the W engines
• When the W engine is viewed from the front, the
cylinder arrangement looks like a double-V. Put the
two Vs of the right and left cylinder banks together,
and you get a W. This is how the name “W engine”
came about.
WORKING
PRINCIPLE
The engines of the W family are a
combination of two “VR banks” based
on a modular design principle. The
cylinders of one bank have an angle of
15 degrees relative to each other while
the two VR banks are arranged at a V-
angle of 72 degrees.
. TYPES OF ENGINES :-
• Inline Engines.

• V Engines.

• VR Engines
1)INLINE ENGINE

• It represents the earliest development level in engine


configuration. The cylinders are arranged in-line vertically
above the crankshaft.
2) V – ENGINE
• To make engines shorter, the cylinders
in the V engines are arranged at an
angle in between 60 degrees and 120
degrees, with the Centerlines of the
cylinders intersecting with the
centerline of the crankshaft.
3) VR – ENGINE
• The need for a powerful alternative suitable for transverse
mounting for use in small to mid- size vehicles saw the
development of the VR engine. • Six cylinders, offset at a V-
angle of 15 degrees, are accommodated in a fairly slender and
very short engine block. Unlike previous designs, the engine
only has one cylinder head. This made it possible to supply the
Golf with a compact VR6 engine.
MODULAR DESIGN
Two compact engines from the VR series are
combined to produce a W engine. The result
is a series of compact gasoline
• Engines ranging from W8 to W16. In the
evolution of the 6-cylinder engine, the VR6
engine stands out due to its compactness. It
is much shorter than the comparable inline
engine, and narrower than V engine.
Combining two VR6 engines with a cylinder
angle of 72 degrees produces a W12 engine.
W-12 ENGINE COMPONENTS :
• Cylinder block
• Crankcase lower section with bearing support
• Crankshaft with connecting rods and
• Balancing shafts
• Engine — Mechanics
• Cylinder heads
• Oil sump and oil
• Crankshaft drive
• Timing chain drive
• Belt drive for auxiliary components
• Multi-part intake manifold
W-12 ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS
• Displacement - 366 cu in (5998 cm3)
• Bore - 3.307 in (84.0 mm)
• Stroke - 3.550 in (90.168 mm)
• Number of cylinders – 12
• Number of cylinder heads –
• V-angle of cylinder heads between banks - 72 degrees
• V-angle of cylinders in a bank - 15 degrees
• Number of valves - 4 per cylinder
• Firing order - 1-12-5-8-3-10-6-7-2-11- 4-9
• Dimensions –
20.2 in (513 mm) long
28.0 in (710 mm) wide
28.1 in (715 mm) height
• Weight Approximately
541 lbs. (245 kg).
• Maximum power output –
Approximately 420 bhp (309 kW).
• Maximum torque –
Approximately 406 lbs-ft (550 Nm) .
• Fuel type recommendation –
Premium unleaded gasoline (91 AKI).
• Installation position - In-line.
ADVANTAGES :-
• W is shorter than V. It can be set further back

in the car to balance weight distribution.

• Easy in manufacturing and development

• It also makes all the cars it equips very different

from the competition making it more unique.


CONCLUSION

• W Engine with their successful story created a new era of powerful &
efficient engines with better fuel economy. From 1906 to present there is
a constant increase in power and performance of W engines
• We have a very good example of Volkswagen which is the only car
manufacturer in the world, currently producing W engines. It is working
in this field since 1998 and produced many W engines e.g. W8, W12 and
then W16. W16 engine is currently the most powerful Engine in the
world which when installed in Bugatti Veyron gives running speed of
432kph.
• So as centuries goes on people’s demand for supercars also increases
which led many automobile companies to do research and produce more
powerful engine.
