Hyundai Tucson: Exhaust Emission Control System / CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) System

- Description Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system advances or retards the valve timing of the intake and exhaust valve in accordance with the ECM control signal which is calculated by the engine speed and load.By controlling CVVT, the valve over-lap or under-lap occurs, which makes better fuel economy and reduces exhaust gases (NOx, HC) and improves engine performance through reduction of pumping loss, internal EGR effect, improvement of combustion stability, improvement of volumetric efficiency, and increase of expansion work.This system consists of

– the CVVT Oil Control Valve (OCV) which supplies the engine oil to the cam phaser or takes out the engine oil from the cam phaser in accordance with the ECM PWM (Pulse With Modulation) control signal,

– the CVVT Oil Temperature Sensor (OTS) which measures the engine oil temperature,

– and the Cam Phaser which changes the cam phase by using the hydraulic force of the engine oil.

The engine oil which is supplied from the CVVT oil control valve changes the cam phase in the direction (Intake Advance/Exhaust Retard) or opposite direction (Intake Retard/Exhaust Advance) of the engine rotation by rotating the rotor connected with the camshaft inside the cam phaser.

Electric Continuous Variable Valve Timing system (E-CVVT) Electric E-CVVT system is electric continuous variable valve timing system. It is located on the intake camshaft of the engine and uses motor rotation to control the rotation angle of camshaft relative to the rotation of crankshaft regardless of engine pressure.E- CVVT controls the DC motor current (duty signal) to more closely control the system compared to the previous pressure type, by increasing reaction speed of cam, improving startability, and reducing the emission of exhaust gas. Also, operation range of intake valve (valve opening angle) is expanded. So, the output and fuel efficiency are improved. - Operation Principle Electric Continuous Variable Valve Timing system (E-CVVT)

[Center OCV Type CVVT] The CVVT has the mechanism rotating the rotor vane with hydraulic force generated by the engine oil supplied to the advance or retard chamber in accordance with the CVVT oil control valve control.

   

• The variable force solenoid (VFS) changes its force depending on the PWM duty to control the stroke of the OCV.

• It also controls the lock, unlock, advanced, retarded, and holding functions.
