Variable Valve Timing In.7215890.powerpoint

The document discusses variable valve timing (VVT) systems. VVT allows the timing of intake and exhaust valves to be varied while the engine is running. Early VVT systems were used on steam engines and internal combustion aircraft engines to optimize power and efficiency. Modern VVT-i systems precisely control intake camshaft angle between 50 degrees using an engine control module, oil control valve and VVT controller. This improves torque, fuel economy and reduces emissions under all driving conditions by optimizing valve timing for different engine operating conditions.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING

INTELLIGENT SYSTEM
WHAT IS VVT ?

• Variable Valve Timing (VVT) ,is a generic term for an


automobile piston engine technology
• VVT allows the lift or duration or timing (some or all) of
the intake or exhaust valves (or both) to be changed
while the engine is in operation
• Two stroke engines use a power valve system to get
similar results to VVT.
HISTORY
• The earliest variable valve timing systems came into existence in
the nineteenth century on steam engines. Stephenson valve gear,
as used on early steam locomotives supported variable cutoff, that
is, changes to the time at which the admission of steam to the
cylinders is cut off during the power stroke. Early approaches to
variable cutoff coupled variations in admission cutoff with variations
in exhaust cutoff. Admission and exhaust cutoff were decoupled with
the development of the Corliss valve. These were widely used in
constant speed variable load stationary engines, with admission
cutoff, and therefore torque, mechanically controlled by a
centrifugal governor. As poppet valves came into use, simplified
valve gear using a camshaft came into use. With such engines,
variable cutoff could be achieved with variable profile cams that
were shifted along the camshaft by the governor.
• The earliest Variable valve timing systems on internal combustion
engines were on the Lycoming R-7755 hyper engine, which had
cam profiles that were selectable by the pilot. This allowed the pilot
to choose full take off and pursuit power or economical cruising
speed, depending on what was needed.
WHAT IS VVT-i

• The VVT-i system is designed to control the intake


camshaft with in a range of 50°(of Crankshaft Angle ) to
provide valve timing i.e. optimally suited to the engine
condition .This improves the torque in all the speed
ranges as well as fuel economy ,and reducing exhaust
emissions.
• This system controls the intake camshaft valve timing so
as to obtain balance between the engine output, fuel
consumption & emission control performance. The actual
intake side valve timing is feed back by means of the
camshaft position sensor for constant control to the
target valve timing.
CONSTRUCTION
The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system includes
 ECM
 OCV
 VVT controller

• The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This
control signal regulates the oil pressure supplied to the VVT
controller. Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine
operating conditions such as the intake air volume, throttle valve
position and engine coolant temperature.

• The ECM controls the OCV, based on the signals transmitted by


several sensors. The VVT controller regulates the intake camshaft
angle using oil pressure through the OCV. As a result, the relative
positions of the camshaft and crankshaft are optimized, the engine
torque and fuel economy improve, and the exhaust emissions
decrease under overall driving conditions. The ECM detects the
actual intake valve timing using signals from the camshaft and
crankshaft position sensors, and performs feedback control.
This is how the target intake valve timing is verified by the ECM.
• The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the VVT system to
control the intake camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM,
the OCV and the VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-
cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal regulates the
oil pressure supplied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can
advance or retard the intake camshaft.
