RECENT ADVANCEMENT IN THE FIELD OF AUTOMOBILE-VCR | SISTec Ratibad | Engineering College |

The variable compression engine implies that the compression ratio of
the engine is controlled at every engine operation condition.
During high load, a lot of power of
the engine required and compression ratio is decreased and if the higher
efficiency is needed during low load, the compression ratio is increased.
The performance and efficiency of an
engine vary with load demand and compression adapted to.
In addition, the risk of
pre-ignition, mega-knock on effects and engine jerking, as the result of
retarded combustion phases, can be reduced.

Automotive Company
|
Design Used
|
1.
|
Mercedes Benz
|
2013- Eccentric connected to
Journal causing relative motion between crankshaft an cylinder head.
|
2.
|
Ford
|
2003- Dual piston method in between
which an Elastomeric mass is present
|
3.
|
Nissan
|
2014- Two control shaft together to
vary the position of control, upper and lower links.
|
4.
|
Gomecsys
|
2013- Auxiliary gear method used to
change the position of the eccentric at the big end of the connecting rod.
|
5.
|
MCE-5
|
MCE-5 VCRi- Used a control jack to
change the position of TDS of the main piston. The control jack is moved by
inertia and gas force.
|
The VCR technology could provide the key
to enable exceptional efficiency at light loads without
loss of full load performance.
Sagar Institute of Science & Technology is working beyond the syllabus. We
are preparing students to work on R&D and established an IC engine 2-Stroke
and 4-Stroke (Petrol and Diesel Engine) test rig. SISTec organizes
module based training to train students on current industry trends and content
beyond the syllabus.
