MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing Electronic Control system) [1] is the brand name of a variable valve timing (VVT) engine technology developed by Mitsubishi Motors. MIVEC, as with other similar systems, varies the timing of the intake and exhaust camshafts which increases the power and torque output over a broad engine speed range ...
Mitsubishi Motors: Production: 2017–present: Layout; Configuration: 4-cylinder: Displacement: 1.5 L (1,499 cc) Cylinder bore: 75 mm (2.95 in) Piston stroke: 84.8 mm (3.34 in) Cylinder block material: Aluminum die cast: Cylinder head material: Aluminum die cast: Valvetrain: Direct acting DOHC, 16 valves, continuously variable MIVEC intake ...
The inlet camshaft position is advanced 25 degrees, thus increasing valve overlap. It remains in this advanced state until about 5000 rpm when the solenoid switches off, and the variator piston returns the valve timing to its natural state. The variable timing increases the engine's mid-range flexibility and reduces emissions.
A water flow timer using a ball valve contains an electric motor with gears to stop or start the water flow by turning a perforated ball within the water flow line. The gearbox in a ball valve timer makes a rumbling sound when actuated. The solenoid type switching timers contain a solenoid that relieves pressure on a diaphragm in the water-flow ...
Mitsubishi increased the combustion efficiency by optimizing the design of the cylinder head intake and exhaust ports, by incorporating the MIVEC system on both intake and exhaust valves and by using injectors that give an ultra micro droplet fuel spray. To lower the engine's weight, Mitsubishi used die-cast aluminium for the cylinder block ...
Typical inductive crankshaft position sensor. A crank sensor (CKP) [1] [2] [3] is an electronic device used in an internal combustion engine, both petrol and diesel, to monitor the position or rotational speed of the crankshaft.
With traditional fixed valve timing, an engine will have a period of "valve overlap" at the end of the exhaust stroke, when both the intake and exhaust valves are open. The intake valve is opened before the exhaust gases have completely left the cylinder, and their considerable velocity assists in drawing in the fresh charge. Engine designers ...
The Lanchester design of balance shaft systems was refined with the Mitsubishi Astron 80, an inline-four car engine introduced in 1975. This engine was the first to locate one balance shaft higher than the other, to counteract the second order rolling couple (i.e. about the crankshaft axis) due to the torque exerted by the inertia caused by ...
