    Camless Engines

    Camless engines eliminate the need for camshafts by using electronic actuators to independently control the intake and exhaust valves. This allows for infinite variability in valve timing, lift, and duration, improving engine efficiency, power, and reducing emissions. Sensors detect operating parameters and send signals to an electronic control unit that controls solenoid valves to open and close the valves as needed. Camless engines are expected to replace conventional camshaft technology despite higher costs currently, due to advantages like increased torque, fuel economy, and reduced emissions.

    Camless

    Engines
    Introduction
    The new emerging technology for automotive technology are the
    Camless engine which the engine does not have camshaft to lift the both
    intake and exhaust valve.
    CAMS

    • Control the breathing channels (valves) of an IC engine

    • Connected to camshaft which is operated by crankshaft

    • Cams push open valves at proper time & guide their closure

    • But they are inflexible except VTEC & VVT-I

    • Engineers could not vary timing, lift & duration of valve opening infinitely
    CAMLESS ENGINES

    • Eliminated mechanical linkages

    • Could provide infinite variation of valve parameters

    • It can make engines clean, efficient & responsive


    Working Of Conventional Engines
    • The crankshaft turns camshaft which operates valves by mechanism

    • Spring brings back valve to initial position

    • Timing of engine valves depends on shape of cams


    Conventional Engine Valves
    • Engineers must design cams in the development stages
    • This design compromises b/n engine power & fuel efficiency
    • Considering this compromise automobile companies brought variable
    valve timing mechanisms
    • But is effects were limited
    Camless engines overview

    • Main sensors -
     Engine load sensor Exhaust gas sensor
     Valve position sensor Engine speed sensor

    SENSORS ELECTRONIC ACTUATORS


    CONTROL UNIT
    • Sensors sense parameters & send signals to ECU

    • ECU contains microprocessors with associated software

    • This ECU controls the actuators to work according to requirements


    • Lift, timing & duration of valve opening is varied by controlling
    solenoid valves

    • This is done by ECU when signals are sent from the sensors
    Advantages
    • Enables the development of higher torque throughout the entire rev range
    which in turn improves fuel economy

    • Cylinder Deactivation can be achieved during the idling phase

    • Exhaust gas recirculation is improved

    • Reduces friction losses

    • Reduces the inertia of moving parts


    Resultant Advantages
    • Better fuel economy- 7 to 10 % increase

    • Higher torque & power- 10 to 15 % increase

    • Lower exhaust emissions- EGR system is eliminated since EGR effect


    occurs on its own & thus reduces NOx emissions

    • Reduction in size & weight


    Disadvantages
    • High Cost

    • Increased power consumption

    • Air gap between the solenoids may demand a higher magnitude of


    current during certain periods

    • The control strategy for valve seating velocity needs to be modified


    Conclusion
    Even though some disadvantages are present, we can expect
    electrohydraulic & electromechanical valves to replace the
    conventional camshaft technology.
