Design of Innovative Engine Valve
This is part two of the paper on conceptual design of an engine valve. The previous paper describes the background and the need of an engine valve for an internal combustion engine. The present state of the engine valve technology and the innovations incorporated in its design has been described. This paper presents the conceptualization of an innovative valve train aiming at lesser number of components, reduction in friction and wear, proper sealing, and trimming down pumping losses. Various geometric designs of valve trains have been detailed and compared. Finally a convolution based poppet valve mechanism, which is free from numerous mechanical elements like camshaft, cam, push rod, rocker arm and rocker bearing has been recommended. Finite element analysis of convoluted spring has been carried out to ascertain safe limits in terms of stresses and achieving desirable valve lift. Magnetorheological fluid and electromagnet are used to vary the valve-lift.
