The document discusses camless engine technology which uses electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic actuators to operate the intake and exhaust valves. Some key issues in the actuator design are reliable valve performance, cost, packaging, power consumption, and noise and vibration. The technology eliminates the camshaft and can enable benefits like infinite variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation, reduced emissions and fuel consumption, and increased engine performance.

m The ICE finds its place in market with latest design
modifications in various components.
m It improve efficiency, economy & overall performance by changing the component camshaft. m In this technology valve motion is operated by valve actuators of electro-mechanical & electro-hydraulic type. Camless engine technology is soon to be a reality for mass-produced vehicles. THE ISSUES THAT HAVE HAD TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE ACTUATOR DESIGN INCLUDE:
RELIABLE VALVE PERFORMANCE
COST PACKAGING POWER CONSUMPTION NOISE AND VIBRATION
FOR REDUCTION OF NOISE IN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL
ACTUATOR TECHNOLOGY A SOFT-LANDING OF THE VALVES HAS TO BE ACHIEVED. m INCLUDED ARE POPPET VALVES THAT ARE OPERATED BY ROCKER ARM(TAPPETS). m THE VALVE TRAIN IN A TYPICAL. IC-ENGINES COMPRISES SEVERAL MOVING COMPONENTS. m VALVE SPRINGS USED TO RETURN THE VALVES TO THEIR SEATS. _ Eliminating the iron or ferro magnetic armature by replacing current-carrying armature coil.
_ Magnetic field is generated by a magnetic field generator
and is directed across the fixed air gap.
_ The force generated on the armature coil drives linearly
in the air gap in a direction parallel to the valve stem.
_ Depending upon the direction of current supplied to the
armature coil, the valve will be driven towards an open or closed position.
_ The forces are constant along the distance of travel of the
armature because air gap is constant. _ REFFERING NOW TO FIGURES 1 TO 4, AN ELECTROMECHANICAL VALVE ACTUATOR OF THE POPPET VALVE VARIETY IS ILLUSTRATED IN CONJUCTION WITH AN INTAKE OR EXHAUST VALVE(22).
_ THE VALVE INCLUDES A CLOSURE
MEMBER HAVING A CYLINDRICAL VALVE STEM AND A CYLINDRICAL VALVE HEAD ATTACHED TO THE END OF THE STEM. _ THE VALVE ACTUATOR OF THE POPPET VALVE SYSTEM GENERALLY INCLUDES A HOUSING ASSEMBLY (34)CONSISTING OF UPPER AND LOWER TUBULAR HOUSING MEMBERS(36)&(42). _ §

_ ELECTRO HYDRAULIC VALVE COMPRISE POPPET VALVES MOVABLE BETWEEN A FIRST AND SECOND _ AN ELECTRICALLY OPERATED HYDRAULIC VALVE CONTROLS THE FLOW OF THE PRESSURIZED HYDRAULIC FLUID TO THE HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR. _ THIS SUPPLIES PRESSURE WHEN ELECTRICALLY PULSED OPEN, AND DUMPS ACTUATOR OIL TO THE ENGINE OIL SUMP WHEN THE VALVE IS PULSED TO CLOSE. _ THE USE OF ENGINE OIL AS THE HYDRAULIC FLUID SIMPLIFIES AND LOWER THE COST OF THE DESIGN BY REMOVING THE NEED FOR A SEPARATE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. _ The most obvious-one infinitely variable valve timing. _ More torque is made available throughout the rev-range due to the valve timing changes enabling optimal volumetric efficiency. _ This increases engine performance and decreases fuel consumption, also harmful emissions, increasing durability &engine life &allowing compensation for different types of fuel &varying altitudes. _ Cylinder deactivation is also possible ,with the associated reduction in emissions. _ Fuel consumption reductions could be obtained by combining camless valve technology with a high pressure fuel injection system. _ The amount of engine oil required would also reduced. _ Increases overall valve train efficiency by eliminating cam shaft mechanism. _ The graph for valve speed comparison between mechanical camshaft &camless engine actuation is shown below. _ The length of the valve stroke in inches verses degrees of rotation of a mechanical camshaft is illustrated
