Engine downsizing simulation based on low rpm variable valve timing system

Downsizing an engine has proven to be one of an effective way to reduce emissions and fuel consumption. Theoretically, when an engine is running at high speed, maximum overlapping between the intake and exhaust valve is needed for a lean „breathing‟ of the engine. But when an engine is running at li...

Theoretically, when an engine is running at high speed, maximum overlapping between the intake and exhaust valve is needed for a lean „breathing‟ of the engine.
