 INTRODUCTION

Improvements of the performance of piston engines

are continually investigated , so that it consumes less
fuel while its impact on the green house emissions is
reduced .

Engine optimization is one of the most cost effective

methods in reducing emissions and fuel consumptions.

The variable valve timing that was first proposed in

1880 has been proved to be a very effective method in
improving engine performance until today.
A BRIEF ON VVT-

The VVT system controls the opening and closing

time of intake valves according to different
working conditions of engine to improve its
efficiency and fuel economy.

VVT implementation in automotive engines may

be classified into two modes of operation low and
high speed operations.
 WHAT IS VALVE
TIMING?
It’s the regulation of the points in the
combustion cycle, at which valves are set to
open and close.

The design of the valve-operating cam

provides for the smooth transition from one
position to other.

In a typical 4-stroke engine, the inlet valve is

set to open before TDC (Top Dead Centre),
towards the end of the exhaust stroke and
close after BDC (Bottom Dead Centre), at the
start of the compression stroke.
ADVANTAGES OF VVT-

•EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) is a commonly

adopted technique to reduce emission and improve
fuel efficiency. However, it is VVT that really exploits
the full potential of EGR. Variable valve timing
systems can provide better torque for an engine.

• With more precise handling of engine valves,

automakers have shown that VVT can produce better
fuel economy for vehicles.

• Reduced nitrogen oxide and Hydrocarbon emissions
