| Czero presentation at SAE WCX17 in Detroit
As part of a half-day technical series on High Efficiency IC Engines Concepts at SAE WCX17 in Detroit, Guy Babbitt, CEO of Czero CEO, and Stephen Charlton, CTO of JP SCOPE, presented our joint research on a completely new approach to fully variable valve actuation (FVVA).
DigitalAir™ Camless FVVA System – Part 1, Valve Train Design, Capability and Performance
Presenter: Guy Babbitt, Ph.D, CEO – Czero
Wednesday, April 5, 2:30 PM, Cobo Center, Room 251 C
Part 1 of the presentation gives an overview of the analysis and design of the DigitalAir™ camless valve train, including the architecture and design of the valve and head; the details of the electric valve actuator; and the flow characteristics of the valves and resulting charge motion in a motoring engine.
DigitalAir™ Camless FVVA System – Part 2, Gasoline Engine Performance Opportunities
Presenter: Stephen Charlton, CTO – JP SCOPE
Wednesday, April 5, 3:30 PM, Cobo Center, Room 251 C
Part 2 of the presentation looks at analytical and experimental data confirming the camless DigitalAir™ system meets essential performance requirements of modern gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines.
