HISTORY
of
VARIABLE VALVE ACTUATION at UNIVERSITY of PITESTI
1977: a mechanical cam phasing device (VVT) applied on the gasoline engine of the 4WD ARO vehicle by
Professor Vasile Dumitrescu and his team;
1977 - 1990: various VVA solutions were created and tested by Professor Vasile Dumitrescu and his team
1985 - 1990: various VVA solutions by Professor Dumitru Cristea and his team:
- variable intake valve lift mechanism by rocker arm’s variable length;
- cylinder deactivation by intake&exhaust valves deactivation
1985 – present: several Continuous Variable intake Valve Lift mechanisms were developed by
Professor Vasile Hara and his team

M. le Recteur, Mesdames, Messieurs et chers collègues, Cher Mesdames et Messieurs, Je voudrais remercier l'Université de Pitesti et particulièrement A. Clenci de nous associer a cette manifestation. er
La réduction de consommation de carburant est un objectif primordial de 1 plan. La distribution variable (VVA) constitue l’une des possibilités opérationnelles pour améliorer les performances du moteur et réduire les émissions polluantes. A l'instigation du département Automobiles et Transports de l'Université de Pitesti et de l’équipe de turbomachines et moteurs du Cnam, une collaboration entre nos établissements a été engagée dès 1999 dans le domaine des moteurs à combustion interne et des machines thermiques appliqués au transport de surface. Le fruit de cette collaboration a significativement été développé et confirmé au cours de la décennie écoulée par des conventions cadre reconduites régulièrement entre nos deux établissements en adéquation avec nos missions respectives : la formation à distance, la recherche technologique et l’innovation, la diffusion de la culture scientifique et technique. Recherche et diffusion des connaissances La participation au titre de chercheurs associés de l’Université de Pitesti à notre laboratoire (EA21) est soutenue par nos établissements qui se sont impliqués dans ces programmes en finançant plusieurs brevets. Deux thèses en cotutelle ont également été soutenues (2006 et 2012). Ces travaux conduisent régulièrement à des publications communes et à des communications dans des congrès internationaux. Il convient de souligner deux conférences réalisées dans le cadre des visioconférences annuelles organisées par le Cnam et ayant pour thème le moteur à taux de compression variable et la distribution variable. Un article conjoint a été publié récemment dans la collection les Techniques de l'Ingénieur. Je remercie également le collectif du réseau commun de compétences qui est appuyé de manière pérenne par les partenaires ADEME, EURECO, ERASMUS, OSEO et CNCISM. L’agence d’évaluation de la recherche et l’enseignement supérieur français (AERES) a également encouragé début
2013 notre laboratoire à amplifier encore les synergies communes à nos établissements. er
Je vous souhaite un excellent « work shop » qui constitue un événement de 1 plan et qui sans nul doute sera suivi de
nouvelles actions internationales pérennes communes à l’ensemble de la profession. Vous pouvez compter sur mon
appui actif et de celui de l’ensemble du laboratoire. Je vous souhaite, M. le recteur, mesdames, Messieurs et chers collègues un excellent séminaire. Bien cordialement, Georges Descombes Paris, le 18 avril 2013

CONTROLLED BURN RATE III - CBR 3rd Generation
Features of CBR III for 2- and 4-Valve Engines:
• No port deactivation
• Internal EGR and Atkinson Cycle by cam phase shifter(s)
• Swirl/Tumble generation by tangential intake and exhaust ports
• Swirl/Tumble enhanced with masking and asymetric exhaust valve
lift with 4-valve engines
Fuel economy improvement: approx. 3 - 5 %
Good example of „Intelligent Simplicity“

Conclusion, Outlook for Future VVA Systems
• Technology will continue to extend the efficiency of internal
combustion engines.
• It is assumed that most of future engines will have VVA system in
very different degree of sophistication and complexity.
• Switchable valve lift quickly will rise in numbers, cam phaser will
become standard with gasoline engines (Diesel will follow with
smaller extent)
• Competition of VVA systems will continue, but not as stand alone
feature, but even more to provide benefits complementary to other
technologies.
• System oncost for mechanics and controls, as well as energy
consumption of VVA system have to be assessed very carefully.

Conclusion from 2005-2007 tests
•
•
•
•
•
•
The combination of low effective compression ratio, relatively high EGR level and
operation close to stoichiometry provides the "no Soot/ no NOx" conditions
pHCCI is only possible at the expense of relatively low combustion efficiency and
high emissions of CO and HC.
Lowest soot values when combustion started after end of injection.
The simultaneous soot and NOx reduction seems to be a combination of good
premixing, due to longer ignition delay, and low local combustion temperature due to
lack of oxygen.
Such "No Soot/ No NOx" conditions cannot be reached on 50% load even if NOxSoot trade off is improved compared to normal reference Diesel combustion without
Miller.
This pHCCI combustion is also very interesting for after treatment systems and
especially SCR

Conclusions
An improved engine operation at idle for the minimum intake valve law
Causes:
- increased intake flow velocity  increased turbulence 
 improving of the fuel-air mixing process
- a lower amount of residual burned gas as a consequence of a lower IEGR intensity
These two factors led to a better and more repeatable combustion
In order to see the detailed phenomena about the intake flow velocity,
a CFD study was launched.
