Valve operation:
The valves are generally powered by an electronic actuator, which activates (opens) at a certain engine RPM, ideally the actuator would be tuned to operate the valve continuously over the entire rev range, with the valve blocking the flow at low rpm, and opening up to allow free flow of exhaust gases at high rpm.
Why it works?
The 4 stroke exhaust powervalve increases backpressure, depending on engine configuration this may be to reduce inlet charge flowing out of the cylinder on engines with large valve overlap (both inlet and exhaust valves open). This is just an opinion, im not an expert on the subject. But i am awesome.
There is only one intake stroke in a four-stroke engine. The other three strokes are compression, power, and exhaust. The intake stroke is a down stroke of the piston in which fuel is drawn into the cylinder while the fuel intake valve is open. The next stroke is the compression stroke in which the valves are closed and the fuel is compressed for combustion. The following stroke is the power stroke - a downward stroke of the piston after fuel combustion that drives the crankshaft. The final stroke is the exhaust stroke, an upward stroke of the piston as the exhaust valve opens to relieve the exhaust fuel fumes.
In a four-stroke engine, the intake valve opens in the intake stroke, allowing air-fuel mixture to enter, while the exhaust valve remains closed. During the compression stroke, both valves stay closed to build pressure. In the power stroke, the fuel ignites, pushing the piston down, with both valves still closed to retain pressure. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve opens, allowing gases to escape, while the intake valve stays shut. This cycle repeats continuously, ensuring efficient engine operation.
Intake valve and exhaust valve.
The four strokes of an internal combustion engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. During the intake stroke, air and fuel are drawn into the combustion chamber. In the compression stroke, the mixture is compressed. The power stroke is when the compressed mixture is ignited to create power, while the exhaust stroke expels the burned gases from the chamber.
Intake compression ***** POWER**** exhaust
The four strokes of a four-stroke engine are the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. During the intake stroke, the engine draws in air and fuel. The compression stroke then compresses this mixture, followed by the power stroke, where the spark plug ignites the mixture, generating power. Finally, in the exhaust stroke, the engine expels the burnt gases from the combustion process.
The strokes of a four stroke engine are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. The engine takes in the fuel, compresses it, uses it for power, and then the excess fuel comes out the exhaust.
Valve overlap occurs in a four-stroke engine at the end of the Exhaust stroke and at the beginning of the Induction stroke; and is when both the exhaust and inlet valves are open at the same time. At the end of the Exhaust stroke, the Exhaust valve is closing and the Inlet valve is starting to open in preparation for the induction of fuel and air into the cylinder. It is common knowledge that in vehicles that cannot alter the valve timing, the Inlet valve opens approx 6 degrees before top-dead-centre and the Exhaust valve closes at 9 degrees after top-dead-centre
1342 Intake Compression Power Exhaust
Could be another name for the four stroke cylinder head, which contains the inlet / exhaust valves.
A four stroke engine requires the piston to travel up and down a total of 4 times to complete one full combustion process. The 4 strokes are: intake, compression, power (ignition), exhaust. And the intake and exhaust valves are timed accordingly. A two stroke engine fires ever other stroke and uses ports for intake and exhaust (no valve train)
Controls air intake and exhaust gas out from cylinder in correct time periods.
