11 Engine Cooling System Engine heat is transferred through walls of the combustion chambers and through the walls of cylinders
Piston Dwell Time Piston travel is at a minimum TDC and BDC Crank moves horizontally Piston velocity Maximum when rod is 90 ° to crank Acceleration Maximum 30 ° earlier Best VE is obtained by synchronizing valve opening with piston speeds 12
Other Valve Position Overlap Both valves are open End of exhaust & start of intake Low pressure in exhaust port Blow down Exhaust valve opens before BDC To help evacuate cylinder before piston reverses Pumping losses at end of exhaust stroke 13
Valve Mechanism Intake valve opening BTDC Low pressure in cylinder Intake valve closing Intake valve closing ABDC Cylinder pressure is effected by timing Exhaust valve opening BBDC Residual pressure helps blow down Exhaust valve closing ATDC Low pressure in exhaust port draws air in mmpmm 14
Effects On Valve Timing Intake valve opening Late – Reduced VE Early – Dilution of intake with exhaust Intake valve closing Late – Reduces cylinder pressure Early – Increases cylinder pressure Exhaust valve opening Late – Pumping losses Early – Power reduction Exhaust valve closing Late – Reduces vacuum Early – Reduces VE 15
COMBUSTION Spark ignition Maximum cylinder pressure 15 ° ATDC Tumble and swirl Motion reduces misfires Excess motion inhibits flow AFR 14.7:1 at part throttle, 12.5:1 under load Compression ignition 18:1 direct injection 23:1 pre-chambers for better starting Compression heats to 800-1200 °F 16
Valve Mechanism OHV (overhead valve) Pushrod configuration Many reciprocating parts Higher valve spring pressure required Compact engine size compared to OHC 17
OHC (overhead cam) Fewer reciprocating parts Reduced valve spring pressure required Higher RPM capability Cylinder head assemblies are taller 18 Valve Mechanism
Cam-in-head No pushrods Use rocker arms 19 Valve Mechanism
Valve lash compensators Solid lifters No internal parts Periodic adjustment 20
Hydraulic lifters To maintain zero lash Quieter No periodic adjustment Anti-scuff additives are required in oils Valve lash compensators 21
Hydraulic lifter operation Valve closed Oil flows through lifter bore & past check valve Plunger return spring maintains zero lash 22
Valve open Check valve seats and limits the slippage Now operates as a solid lifter Hydraulic lifter operation 23
Hydraulic lifter operation Return to valve closed New oil enters the lifter body This oil replaces oil that has leaked between plunger and body (predetermined leakage) 24
Metering Device Metering valve meters the oil flow to the pushrod 25
Gear sets Cam and crank rotate in opposite directions Noisy if not free of burrs Helical and spur cut gears 26 Timing Gear Wheel sets
Timing chains Single and double roller Tension Pulley 27 Timing Belt sets
