Catalytic Converter

- Description The catalytic converter of the gasoline engine is a three way catalyst. It oxidizes carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons (HC), and separates oxygen from the oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) System

- Description Continuous Variable Valve Timing (CVVT) system advances or retards the valve timing of the intake and exhaust valve in accordance with the ECM control signal which is calculated by the engine speed and load.By controlling CVVT, the valve over-lap or under-lap occurs, which makes better fuel economy and reduces exhaust gases (NOx, HC) and improves engine performance through reduction of pumping loss, internal EGR effect, improvement of combustion stability, improvement of volumetric efficiency, and increase of expansion work.This system consists of

– the CVVT Oil Control Valve (OCV) which supplies the engine oil to the cam phaser or takes out the engine oil from the cam phaser in accordance with the ECM PWM (Pulse With Modulation) control signal,

– the CVVT Oil Temperature Sensor (OTS) which measures the engine oil temperature,

– and the Cam Phaser which changes the cam phase by using the hydraulic force of the engine oil.

• The variable force solenoid (VFS) changes its force depending on the PWM duty to control the stroke of the OCV.

• It also controls the lock, unlock, advanced, retarded, and holding functions.
