A previous study using a cycle simulation program had identified the possibility that highly rated diesel engines might benefit from a variable valve timing (VVT) system. In particular, the study had shown that, by delaying the start of inlet valve opening at part load, it should be possible to eliminate the reverse flow that can lead to inlet port fouling. The work reported here encompasses the design and implementation of a variable valve timing system on a highly rated high-speed marine diesel engine. The principal topics addressed are the selection and design of a mechanism, a comparison between the predictions and results from mechanism testing on a single-cylinder valve-train rig and the engine performance predictions and results obtained when the mechanism was tested on the engine. The results from the single-cylinder test rig demonstrated that the mechanism performed satisfactorily, and this led to a design suitable for retro-fitting to the engine. The engine was comprehensively instrumented and the experimental results were in good agreement with the cycle simulation predictions.

The performance of internal combustion engine can be improved by using variable valve timing technology. but how to get the optimal inlet/export valve open or close angles under various operating conditions still relies mainly on testing calibration method. By means of one-dimensional working process simulation method, the performance of a four cylinder diesel engine was simulated, and the influences of diffrent inlet/export valve timing on engine performances were compared. Optimum valve timing values and engine performances under thirty kinds of working conditions were gotton. After that, the engine performances compared with that without variable valve timing. Simulation results show that the engine performance, especially the emission performance, can be improved at all simulation working conditions. The method used in this paper may be a new way for calibration of optimal valve timing.
