Camless Engine Valve Actuation System For Fuel Efficiency Improvement

This document discusses a camless engine valve actuation system that can improve fuel efficiency in internal combustion engines by 10-50% by independently controlling valve opening and closing times under different engine conditions. It aims to address the energy crisis and high costs of alternative technologies by more cost-effectively improving the efficiency of conventional engines through electro-mechanical, hydraulic, or multi-cam actuators that allow free valve control regardless of engine speed or operation. Key technical challenges include achieving fast, soft valve actuation and addressing cost and reliability issues.

Camless Engine Valve Actuation System for Fuel Efficiency Improvement

What
Improve the fuel efficiency of internal combustion engines significantly (10~50%)
Through the independent control of valve opening and closing time for a wide range of
engine operating conditions
Why
Coming energy crisis: oil production is peaked already
Alternative solutions like electric or fuel-cell technologies are very expensive and not
mature yet
Practically, improving the efficiency of conventional engines is the only cost-effective
answer
How
Valve control freely independent of engine speed and other operating conditions
Using electro-mechanical actuator, hydraulic actuator or multi-cam mechanism
Technical issues
Fast valve actuation
Soft valve landing
