Influence of Valve Timing on Performance of Unconventional Internal Combustion Engine with Charge Transit Between Different Cylinders
A conventional 4-cylinder 4-stroke gasoline IC engine was transformed into an innovative IC engine with the technology of charge transit between different cylinders. To learn influence of the valve timing on the performance of the IC engine with charge transit
the exhaust advance angle of the front cylinder and the intake advance angle of the rear cylinder were examined by experiment research and simulation calculation. In this new IC engine
a working cycle is completed by a pair of cylinders. The front cylinder is a conventional 4-stroke combustion cylinder while the rear cylinder is a cylinder without combustion performing on a 4-stroke cycle. The burned gas is transferred from the front cylinder to the rear cylinder through a connection pipe
and then the gas is exhausted out of the engine from the rear cylinder. A 1D simulation model of the new engine was established by GT-POWER
and its accuracy was verified by the experimental data. The results show that
when the valve lift curve keeps constant
the exhaust advance angle of the front cylinder and the intake advance angle of the rear cylinder have slight influence on the engine fuel consumption but they have great influence on the external characteristics of the engine torque. The fuel consumption of the new engine is lower than that of the original engine
indicating that the split cycle with the front cylinder combustion and rear cylinder expansion could improve the IC engine working efficiency.
