Cylinder Valve Operating System For Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine

View page
US Patent:
20090107432, Apr 30, 2009
Filed:
Oct 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/927727
Inventors:
Greg P. McConville - Ann Arbor MI, US
Yihua S. Barber - Novi MI, US
Mark A. Zagata - Livonia MI, US
International Classification:
F01L 1/047
US Classification:
123 9017, 123196 M
Abstract:
A cylinder valve operating system for an internal combustion engine includes a camshaft driving a number of intake and exhaust valve operators which may be selectively disabled through the operation of a valving system including a hydraulic phase shifter integrated with the camshaft and connected between a source of high pressure oil and at least the intake valve operators. The hydraulic phase shifter allows one group of valves, such as the exhaust valves, to be disabled before the other group of valves, typically the intake valves.
