Function of camshaft phasing
Traditional combustion engines have rigid camshaft timing, meaning valve movements are not adjustable. With fixed crankshaft and camshaft alignment, timing adjustment is not possible. Variable valve timing allows optimization of engine power, torque, fuel consumption and emissions.
Based on engine speed, load and temperature, valve overlap, valve lift and valve opening times can be varied. Early valve timing adjustments support throttle response and torque at low engine speeds, while late adjustments reduce emissions during load operation. At high engine speeds, longer valve opening increases performance.
