    Variable Copression Ratio Engines

    The document discusses variable compression ratio (VCR) engines. VCR engines allow the compression ratio to be varied to improve efficiency, reducing it under high loads to prevent knocking. SAAB introduced the first VCR engine in 2000, reducing fuel consumption by 30% by varying the ratio from 8:1 to 16:1. Methods to achieve VCR discussed include varying the combustion chamber volume, using a variable height piston, moving the crankshaft or pins, and using a multi-link mechanism. The multi-link mechanism connects the piston to the crankshaft with three links to independently control motion and achieve the ideal compression ratio. VCR engines provide improved efficiency and reduced vibration.

    What is VCR engines?


    It is the technology to adjust internal

    combustion engine cylinder compression ratio.


    In a VCR engine high compression ratio is
    employed for greater efficiency and low load
    operation.
    Low compression ratio is employed at full load
    allowing the turbo charger to work without
    problem of detonation.

    VCR Engines

    SAAB Automobile Introduced variable


    compression to the world at the Geneva
    motor show in 2000.
    Fuel consumption is 30 percent lower than
    conventional engine by achieving variation
    of compression ratio from 8:1 to 16:1
    depending on the load.
    VCR Engines reduces combustion chamber
    temperature and increases charge and
    thermal efficiency.

    2.Variation of combustion
    chamber volume
    The

    volume of combustion chamber is changed


    to obtain the variable compression ratio by
    moving a small secondary piston which
    communicates with the chamber.

    The

    piston could be maintained at an


    intermediate position corresponding to the
    optimum compression ratio for a particular
    condition.

    3.Variable Compression height


    piston
    Variation on compression height of the

    piston offers potentially the most


    attractive route to the production of
    VCR engine.
    But it requires relatively minor changes
    to the base engine architecture when
    compared to other options.

    5.Multilink mechanisms
    A popular approach has been to
    replace the connecting rod with a
    two piece design in which an upper
    member connects with the piston
    while a lower member connects with
    the crankshaft.

    12

    The connecting rod is made of three


    links.
    Link 1 connects the piston to the

    intermediate link 2, which in turn is fixed.


    Now the power transmitting link to the
    crank shaft is link 3, which joins the link
    2 to crank shaft.

    Working of VCR engine


    When the piston is moving to the bottom dead center the

    link 1 pushes the link 2 directly, thus the crank shaft also
    moving thus producing no dwell at the bottom dead center.
    when the piston is moving towards the top dead center the
    link 3 will continue to be in motion but keeping the link 1
    in a constant, thus giving a constant injection without
    stopping the crank shaft.
    As main link 1 will dwell at the top dead center. The dwell
    that is required at the top dead center will depend on the
    positioning and the length of the links.

    Conclusions
    The newly developed multi link

    mechanism enables optimum


    compression ratio control such as the
    fuel economy (thermal efficiency) of
    a engine.
    With the multilink VCR mechanism,
    the piston's reciprocal action
    achieves ideal simple harmonic
    motion. This enable low vibration
    property of in-line 4 cylinder engine.
