  • The electromagnetic engine valve actuator is a key technology to achieve variable valve timing in internal combustion engine and the steel core and clapper of the electromagnetic engine valve actuator are laminated to reduce the eddy current loss. To design and characterize the performance of the electromagnetic engine valve actuator, FE (finite element) analysis is the most effective way, but FE (finite element) 3-D modeling of real lamination needs very fine meshes resulting in countless meshes for modeling and numerous computations. In this paper, the equivalent FE 2-D model of electromagnetic engine valve actuator is introduced and FE analysis is performed using the equivalent FE 2-D model.

  • Electromagnetic valve (EMV) actuation system is a new technology for improving fuel efficiency and at the same time reducing omissions in internal combustion engines. It can provide more flexibility in valve event control compared with conventional variable valve actuation devices. The electromagnetic valve actuator must be designed by taking the operating conditions and engine geometry limits of the internal combustion engine into account. To help develop a simple design method, this paper presents a procedure for determine the basic design parameters and dimensions of the actuator from the relations of the valve dynamics, electromagnetic circuit and thermal loading condition based on the lumped method. To verify the accuracy of the lumped method analysis, experimental study is also carried out on a prototype actuator. It is found that there is a relatively good agreement between the experimental data and the results of the proposed design procedure. Through the whole speed range, the actuator maintains proper performances in valve timing and event control.

  • New valve driving system to control for the best volumetric efficiency at each load of an internal combustion engine within one engine cycle has been developed. The system needs to reduce pumping loss that cause by throttle valve during the intake valve is opened. In this system the intake valve is driven by a linear DC electromagnetic actuator which is controlled by personal computer. The result is compared both installed and uninstalled actuator into the cylinder head. By both of experimental and numerical calculation, the responsibility of the valve driving system to the engine speed was examined

  • We investigate the effect of mechanical damping and electrical conductivity on the dynamic performance of a new electromagnetic engine valve actuator that employs a permanent magnet. The key dynamic performance factors are the transition time and the landing velocity of the armature. Two-dimensional dynamic finite element analyses are performed to simulate a coupled system. The results show that mechanical damping and electrical conductivity have similar effects on the dynamic performance of the engine valve actuator. Subsequently, it is possible to replace the role of mechanical damping by controlling the electrical conductivity through the thickness and number of steel core laminations.

  • This paper presents a new design of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator using the shorted turn for enhanced dynamic performance. The quick response of coil electric current is the most important factor that determines the opening and closing performance of the hybrid magnet engine valve. The conventional hybrid magnet engine valve actuator, however, has a delayed initial electric current rising when it is driven by voltage control because of the coil inductance which is a typical characteristic of an electromagnetic coil. A shorted turn is newly placed into the upper yoke of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator to reduce coil inductance and thus, to hasten the initial electric current rising. We performed a dynamic finite element analysis to demonstrate the improvement of the dynamic characteristics of the hybrid magnet engine valve actuator due to the shorted turn.

  • 솔레노이드 전자기 엔진 밸브 액츄에이터는 현재의 내연 연소 엔진의 가변 밸브 타이밍에 가장 적합하고 진보된 장치이다. 하지만 솔레노이드 전자기 액츄에이터는 전력소모가 크다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 전력소모가 작은 가변 밸브 타이밍을 구현하기 위해 영구자석을 활용한 새로운 전자기 엔진 밸브 액츄에이터를 제안한다. 이 연구에서는 엔진 밸브의 과도운동 시간의 최소화를 통해 엔진의 속도를 극대화하기 위하여 새롭게 제안한 액츄에이터의 형상을 최적 설계하였다. 최적화를 위해 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하고 Matlab과 Maxwell을 활용하여 전역 최적화 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

  • The traditional engine valve train in a combustion engine is the mechanically driven camshaft system that provides one-fixed valve timing. The variable valve timing (VVT), however, is highly required to achieve the significant improvement in fuel economy. To achieve VVT in combustion engine, the solenoid type of actuator had been developed in past years, but it requires current in all operation period, the starting is difficult and the efficiency is low. In this paper, a new linear actuator using permanent magnet (PM) is proposed and verified its feasibility by finite element (FE) analysis.
