In a 4-stroke engine cycle, each valve (intake and exhaust) opens once per cycle. This means that during one complete cycle of the engine, the intake valve opens once to allow air-fuel mixture in, and the exhaust valve opens once to expel exhaust gases. Therefore, each valve will open a total of one time during each 4-stroke cycle.
During the power stroke cycle of an internal combustion engine, the exhaust valve opens. This occurs after the combustion process, allowing the spent gases to exit the combustion chamber. The opening of the exhaust valve is crucial for maintaining engine efficiency and preventing back pressure that could hinder performance.
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.
During the power stroke of an engine cycle, the intake valve closes, and the combustion chamber is sealed. As the piston moves downward, the fuel-air mixture is ignited, creating a rapid increase in pressure that forces the piston down. This downward movement generates power for the engine, while the exhaust valve remains closed until the power stroke is completed. The timing of valve operations is crucial for optimal engine performance.
In a four-stroke engine, both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during the power stroke, allowing for maximum pressure to build from the combustion of the air-fuel mixture. Similarly, during the exhaust stroke, both valves are also closed momentarily after the power stroke until the piston moves up to expel the exhaust gases. However, the intake valve opens before the power stroke begins, and the exhaust valve opens at the end of the power stroke to facilitate the exhaust process. Thus, while both valves are closed during the power and exhaust strokes themselves, they open at specific times in the cycle.
Is the time when intake and exhaust valve remain oper during the exhaust stroke.
At 6000 RPM, the exhaust valve in a four-stroke engine opens once every two revolutions of the engine cycle. Since there are 6000 revolutions per minute, this means the exhaust valve opens 3000 times per minute. Converting that to seconds, the exhaust valve opens 50 times per second.
600 rpm / 60 = 10 revs per second. The intake valve opens on every other revolution (2 revolutions for every four-stroke cycle). This results in 5 intake valve openings per second!

While there may be some overlap of valve opening timing, generally speaking, the exhaust valve opens after the power stroke, and the intake valve opens after the exhaust stroke. Recap... We start the combustion cycle of a standard 4-stroke engine with the intake stroke, the intake valve is open and the vacuum created by the downward movement of the piston draws in the air/fuel mixture from the intake manifold. The intake valve closes as the piston rounds bottom dead center and the compression stroke begins on the upward movement of the piston. At or near the top of the compression stroke, the spark plug fires (both valves are closed at this point) and begins the downward power stroke. As the piston rounds bottom dead center again, the exhaust valve opens to allow the piston to push out the exhaust gasses during the upward exhaust stroke. As the piston gets to the top, the exhaust valve closes and the intake valve opens to start the process over again.
The term for the time when both the intake and exhaust valves are open simultaneously is called "valve overlap." This occurs during the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke in a four-stroke engine cycle. Valve overlap can enhance engine efficiency by allowing better exhaust scavenging and improved intake charge filling.
The purpose of butter fly valve is to maintain one way opening during induction stroke and exhaust stroke.
