Abstract:Abstract. Variable exhaust valve events have the potential to further improve the engine power output, fuel economy and decrease the NOX emissions. Based on the moving coil electromagnetic valve train applied to engine exhaust system, effects of variable exhaust valve events are analyzed in detail and the optimization approaches are carried out. Also with the fully variable intake and exhaust valve train, different internal EGR strategies can be achieved and the contrastive analyses are carried out between com… Show more
“…The results show that the thermal efficiency of the engine has an obvious improvement. Xinyu et al [7] realized the optimization of exhaust valve motion by EMVT. The results show that the optimal exhaust valve opening motion can strengthen both the power performance and 1.…”
In this paper, an electromagnetic variable valve train with a magnetorheological buffer (EMVT with MR buffer) is proposed. This system is mainly composed of an electromagnetic linear actuator (EMLA) and a magnetorheological buffer (MR buffer). The valves of an internal combustion engine are driven by the EMLA directly to open and close, which can adjust the valve lift and phase angle of the engine. At the same time, MR buffer can reduce the seat velocity of the valve and realize the seat buffer of the electromagnetic variable valve. In this paper, the overall design scheme of the system is proposed and the structure design, finite element simulation of the EMLA, and the MR buffer are carried out. The electromagnetic force characteristics of the EMLA and buffer force of the MR buffer are measured, and the seat buffering performance is verified as well. Experiments and simulation results show that the electromagnetic force of the EMLA can reach 320.3 N when the maximum coil current is 40 A. When the current of the buffer coil is 2.5 A and the piston’s motion frequency is 5 Hz, the buffering force can reach 35 N. At the same time, a soft landing can be realized when the valve is seated.
