An Optimal Design for New Electromagnetic Valve in Camless Engines

Abstract:

Some previous studies have demonstrated that electromagnetic valve (EMV), which uses permanent magnet and electromagnetic coil (PM/EM) hybrid actuator, has some benefits about actuator control, energy consumption, time response compared with conventional EMVs. In this paper, a new EMV with PM/EM actuator, which significantly differs from existing EMVs, has been proposed. The EMV design has been examined and analyzed by finite element. The results conclude that the EMV satisfies the requirement of dimension space limit. Moreover, the optimal EMV design meets the requirements of transition time and holding force. The holding force can reach about 719 N and drop 42.22% for valve releasing if desired current is supplied to the coils. Therefore, the EMV can fully control the closed and open of valve timings at maximum speed in SI engines.
