Valves in the cylinder--burned
exhaust valve shows nonsym-metrical color pattern and green burn area at lower, left edge.
Instantaneous vibration waveforms during 10 work cycles of the engine in good technical condition and with the defective
exhaust valve are shown in Fig.
The effective orifice areas [A.sub.iv] and [A.sub.ev] (including the discharge coefficient) depend on the intake and the
exhaust valve lift maps [l.sub.iv] and [l.sub.ev] provided by the manufacturer.
Improved engine life and
exhaust valve lifespan through reduced cylinder temperatures.
In applications where a fast response time on modulating service, is required, the VBP also eliminates the need for an additional poppet or Quick
Exhaust Valve to achieve the required closing speeds.
An example of Chatten's patented invention uses a simple co-axial planetary gear mechanism to provide "infinite discrete control of all the valve events" including the
exhaust valve opening (EVO),
exhaust valve closing (EVC), inlet valve opening (IVO) and inlet valve closing (IVC).
They were developed after in-service cylinders developed certain specific failure modes, including cracks resulting from reduced wall thickness (AD 2009-19-07), and cracks near the
exhaust valve and barrel separation (AD 2009-16-03).
