Staff of the Chinese company and the Swedish company Qoros FreeValve, which is controlled by the Koenigsegg Group, at the Beijing Motor Show presented a concept, four-cylinder engine which has a camshaft and throttle. Instead of the latter — a system of actuators with pneumatic, hydraulic and electronic control lock.
Recall, similar attempts have been made with a dozen automakers, including Renault and BMW.
Innovative technology PHEA (Pneumatic-Hydraulic-Electric-Actuator) makes it possible to «incredibly greater precision» to control opening and closing of valves during the combustion cycle. This will make the new engines are lighter, more compact, productivity and efficiency of ICE, has 130-year history.
We believe that in the foreseeable future in the automotive industry will take the transition to sets with beskulachkovym valve actuator mechanism, which will be even more revolutionary than the rejection of the carburetors in favor of direct fuel injection. Or even greater...
