Abstract

A new variable valve timing strategy based on using an auxiliary valve having a variable timing (VVT) is used in this study. The valve is driven by a new VVT mechanism achieving valve duration and opening angle variations. The auxiliary valve acts as intake valve. Experiments and simulation models are carried out at different loads. The results show improvements in brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, volumetric efficiency, residual gas fraction and engine emissions over the whole range of load. Swirl and tumble ratios are decreased.
