최근의 기관은 DOHC 또는 SOHC로 4밸브나 5밸브를 채용하여 흡기계의 효율향상을 시도하고 있다. 그러나 고속성능에 중점을 두고 기관제원을 설정하게 되면서 저속 실용역에서 토크의 저하를 초래하는 경우가 많아지고 있으며 금후 이러한 문제의 해결에 많은 노력이 계속될 것으로 전망된다. 또한 전자기술의 발전과 자동차에 대한 적용 기술이 향상됨에 따라 앞으로 가변흡기 시스템, 가변밸브 타이밍, 가변 터보, 가변 기통수, 가변 압축비등 가변기술에 대한 연구개발이 더욱 활발히 이루어질 것이다.

This paper introduces a new variable valve actuation mechanism with movable second cam center. Valve lift and open duration can be continuously varied according to engine speed and load conditions. A new method to analyze the kinematic relations between the first and second cam profiles and valve motion are also introduced. Because of rocker motion of the second cam, conventional motion conversion program could not be used in this problem. An example shows continuous variations of valve motion and adequate ramp incorporation throughout all valve lift modes. Valve acceleration profile at the high lift mode is similar to that of conventional valvetrains. Contact geometry analysis of the mechanism gives basic information on the load conditions between the components.

Environmental emission of recent automobile is drastically enhanced that it is one of the obvious assignments of exhaust system. This study is a purpose to establish of influence distribution on maxima and minima through the location of pressure on exhaust variable valve. The experiment are checked with real angles using camera which exhaust variable valve is opened side of point. Data has extracted to opening angles with internal flow, pressure. Exhaust variable valve through the floating analysis was analyzed the characteristic of location point about pressure and velocity. The pressures indicated the reduced results internal pressure within muffler. The velocity indicated an opposite results and vibration state of valve was verified to be operated as high speed from lower section. The conclusion to obtain from this study was found out the result to make the optimum back pressure condition as more increasing pressure distribution on valve face if the velocity location attracted by bottom point in order to improve for engine performance.

A laser-vision-based height measurement system is developed and implemented for the inspection of two-step variable valve lift module assemblies. The proposed laser-vision sensor module is designed based on the principle of laser triangulation. This paper summarizes the work on 3D point cloud data collection and height difference measurements. The configuration of the measurement system and the proposed height measurement algorithm are described and analyzed in detail. Additional measurement experiments on the height differences of valves and lash adjusters of a two-step variable valve lift module were implemented repeatedly to evaluate the accuracy and repeatability of the proposed measurement system. Experimental results show that the proposed laser-vision-based height measurement system achieves high accuracy, repeatability, and stabilization for the inspection of two-step variable valve lift module assemblies.

고효율의 실현이 가능한 흡기관 분사식 수소기관의 역화 억제 가능성을 파악하고자 밸브 오버랩 기간의 변화에 따른 제반 기관성능과 역화가 발생되는 역화한계 당량비를 실험적으로 해석하였다. 실험에는 기계식 연속 가변밸브 타이밍 시스템이 부착된 연구용 수소기관을 사용하였다. 밸브 오버랩기간은 배기밸브 개폐시기를 고정하고 흡기밸브 캠의 위상각을 조절하여 변화시켰다. 해석결과 밸브 오버랩 기간의 감소에 따른 제반기관성능은 통상의 기관과 유사하지만 역화한계 당량비가 확장되어 초기 단계이지만 수소기관의 역화발생에 밸브오버랩 기간이 관여하는 것이 보였다. 기관 회전수 1600 rpm, WOT의 실험 조건에서 밸브 오버랩 기간을 $20^{\circ}CA$에서 $0^{\circ}CA$로 감소시킨 경우 역화한계당량비는 약 45% 정도 확장되고 정미 토크는 16% 감소했다.

The paper presents the characteristics of capacity control of variable speed water cooler with the electronic expansion valve open/close degree. It is a preliminary study on the optimum control of the water cooler system using a variable speed compressor controlled by inverter. The electronic expansion valve controlled by the variation of compressor speed maintains the constant degree of superheat at the evaporator outlet, which aims to find the degree of superheat obtaining the optimum refrigeration effect. The investigation indicates that there is a point achieving the maximum cooling capacity by the variation of the electronic expansion valve open/close degree with constant compressor speed.

This paper presents the design optimization of a linear actuator for fast response of electromagnetic engine valve. The optimization is performed using generic algorithm which is one of global search techniques and not highly dependent on either initial conditions or constraints in the solution domain to maximize the mechanical frequency of the armature mass and valve spring stiffness for fast response of the engine valve. In the results, the mechanical frequency is improved by 30 %.

VVA(Variable Valve Actuation) 기술은 엔진의 흡기 밸브 작동 모드를 가변하여, 엔진의 연비와 성능을 향상시키는 차세대 엔진 기술이다. 흡기캠에 의해 밸브가 직접 작동되는 일반 엔진과 달리 VVA 엔진은 흡기캠, VVA기구, 모터, 제어기 등에 의해 밸브 작동 모드가 정밀하게 제어되므로, 엔진에서 발생되는 손실을 줄여 연비가 크게 향상되고 엔진의 최고 성능이 향상된다. 또한 VVA 엔진을 장착한 차량은 차량의 발진 응답성이 향상되고, 배기가스 배출량을 줄일 수 있어 친환경 저연비 차량을 실현하는데 핵심 차량부품기술이다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 VVA 기구의 적용을 위한 DC모터 및 제어기를 개발하였다.

Adaptive valve timing control is one of the promising techniques to accomplish the optimized mixture formation and combustion depending on the load and speed, which is needed to meet the future challenges in reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. The behavior and the effect of adaptive valve timing control system has been investigated by computer simulation, which simulates the gas dynamics in engines. Improved fuel economy can be achieved by reduction of pumping loss under low and mid load conditions. EIVC(Early Intake Valve Closing) strategy turns out to be superior to LIVC(Late Intake Valve Closing) strategy in reducing fuel consumption. Deterioration of combustion quality can be overcome by introducing LIVO(Late Intake Valve Opening) strategy, which increases turbulent intensity in cylinders. Furthermore, LIVO can reduce HC emission by decreasing the required amount of fuel to be injected during cold start.

A butterfly throttle valve has been used to control the brake power of an SI engine by controlling the mass flow-rate of intake air in the induction system. However, the valve has a serious effect on the volumetric efficiency of the engine due to the pressure resistance in the induction system. In this study, a new intake air controlling valve named "Variable Geometry Throttle Valve(VGTV)" is proposed to minimize the pressure resistance in the intake system of an SI engine. The design concept of VGTV is on the application of a venturi nozzle in the air flow path. Instead of change of the butterfly valve angle in the airflow field, the throat width of the VGTV valve is varied with the operating condition of an SI engine. In this numerical study, CFD(computational fluid dynamics) simulation technique was incorporated to have an aerodynamics performance analysis of the two air flow controlling systems; butterfly valve and VGTV and compared the results to know which system has lower pressure resistance in the air intake system. From the result, it was found that VGTV has lower pressure resistance than the butterfly valve. Especially VGTV is effective on the low and medium load operating condition of an SI engine. The averaged pressure resistance of VGTV is about 49.0% lower than the value of the conventional butterfly throttle valve.
