Emissions Optimisation by Camshaft Profile Switching 910838

High engine efficiency and low emissions on spark ignition engines can be achieved with a new camshaft profile switching device. This enables the use of two camshaft profiles for inlet and exhaust that can be switched independent of each other by any engine management input.
This paper proposes the use of this device to give an excellent torque curve together with reduced emissions, by selecting from two discrete inlet and exhaust camshaft profiles and timings against engine parameters such as speed, load and temperature.
