2. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

   Variable valve timing (VVT) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event in an internal combustion engine, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. There are many ways in which this can be achieved, ranging from mechanical ...

3. Variator (variable valve timing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variator_(variable_valve...

   Variable valve timing (VVT) is a system for varying the valve opening of an internal combustion engine. This allows the engine to deliver high power, but also to work tractably and efficiently at low power. [1] There are many systems for VVT, which involve changing either the relative timing, duration or opening of the engine's inlet and ...

4. MultiAir - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiAir

   MultiAir. MultiAir or Multiair is a hydraulically-actuated variable valve timing (VVT) and variable valve lift (VVL) engine technology enabling "cylinder by cylinder, stroke by stroke" [1] control of intake air directly via a gasoline engine's inlet valves. Developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies, the technology addresses a primary engine ...

5. Variable camshaft timing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_camshaft_timing

   Variable camshaft timing (VCT) is an automobile variable valve timing technology developed by Ford. It allows for more optimum engine performance, reduced emissions, and increased fuel efficiency compared to engines with fixed camshafts. It uses electronically controlled hydraulic valves that direct high pressure engine oil into the camshaft ...

6. Solenoid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solenoid_valve

   A solenoid valve is an electromechanically operated valve. Solenoid valves differ in the characteristics of the electric current they use, the strength of the magnetic field they generate, the mechanism they use to regulate the fluid, and the type and characteristics of fluid they control. The mechanism varies from linear action, plunger-type ...

7. Active valve control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_valve_control_system

   The active valve control system (AVCS) is an automobile variable valve timing technology used by Subaru. It varies the timing of the valves by using hydraulic oil pressure to rotate the camshaft, known as "phasing", [1] in order to provide optimal valve timing for engine load conditions. The system is closed loop using the camshaft sensors ...
