Driving Condition Exhaust Valve Intake Valve
Valve Timing Effect Valve Timing Effect
(1) Low Speed/Low Load Completely Advance * Valve Under-lap
* Improvement of combustion stability
Completely Retard * Valve Under-lap
* Improvement of combustion stability
(2) Part Load Retard * Reduction of HC Retard * Delays the closing time of intake valve to reduce pumping loss
* Increases expansion work
(3) Low Speed/High Load Retard * Increase of expansion work Advance * Prevention of intake back flow (Improvement of volumetric efficiency)
(4) High Speed/High Load Advance * Reduction of pumping loss Retard * Improvement of volumetric efficiency
