| Summary: | Internal combustion engine has been used for more than one century and is
still being used until now. This final project theme is chosen by the writer because
valve is one of the most important components in an internal combustion engine.
Improving valve design can increase internal combustion engine efficiency. Valve
is usually driven by a mechanism called a valve train. Valve train, in an internal
combustion engine, usually contains component called a camshaft.
The modification of valve train modification was done by studying the
current available valve train, creating new design on paper and using computer.
The computer design was done by using Solidworks® software. The designs, that
were created are 3 dimensional drawings of components, assembly of components,
and technical drawings complete with dimensions. Then the next steps were
component analysis, lubricating analysis, and working model creation. The making
of the model was done with help of technicians. The model was made using
transparant material so that the mechanism can easily be seen.
This mechanical valve train design can be researched and developed
further. Development can be done by considering efficiency, maintenance
simplicity, and production cost of the internal combustion engine. |
