Abstract
Gasoline engine downsizing is already established as a proven
technology to reduce automotive fleet CO₂ emissions. Further
real-world benefits are possible through more aggressive
downsizing; however, there is a trade-off between maintaining a
high compression ratio for good part load fuel consumption and
maintaining optimal combustion phasing at higher loads. There are
many different technologies, which could be applied to
gasoline-downsized engines in order to improve efficiency. One is
to adopt a Miller/Atkinson cycle, which uses variable valve timing
to reduce throttling losses in part load operation and reduce
effective compression ratio to optimize combustion phasing at
higher loads.
MAHLE Intake CamInCam® is a technology enabler for
Miller/Atkinson cycle operation. It uses asymmetric intake valve
timing control to effectively provide a method of running increased
intake cam duration allowing Late Intake Valve Closing cycle
strategies to be adopted.
This paper investigates the effects of this technology applied
to a 1.4-liter gasoline direct injection engine. It demonstrates
high load combustion phasing improvements through reduced effective
compression ratio and improvements at part load through pumping
work reduction. The paper also covers the investigation of
asymmetric cam control on charge motion through the use of moving
geometry CFD.
