Development of a Rotary Valve Small Four-Stroke Engine Development of a Rotary Valve Small Four-Stroke Engine ETA Engineering Wolf Burger Fritz Winter ABSTRACT An experimental small four-stroke engine for the application in hand held equipment was developed. The engine provides all position operations, light weight design and low cost production. The developed technology includes the following items: • Rotary valve system, which has the features as low noise, high revolution limits and low operation power losses • 360° all position operation by adopting a new 64% mixture lubrication system Compared to a two stroke engine almost the same size and weight is achieved. In addition emissions are drastically improved and fuel consumption is reduced. INTRODUCTION 70% Emission regulation for small hand held equipment forced the industry to develop “clean” Figure 1: Comparison with conventional engines. A numerous volume of small four stroke four-stroke engine engines is now launched for production in brushcutter applications. Still there is a need for an engine, which fits in the requirement of chainsaws and powercutters. The new BASIC DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS ROTAVALVE system was developed to beat the two stroke engine in this application. Compared To realize the most suitable structure for hand with standard four-stroke engines there is a held application the basic design includes the reduction in the height to 64% and of the length following items: to 70%. Figure 1 shows the comparison of a 3 3 • Uniblock cylinder with NIKASIL coating 31cm production engine to the 34cm • Cylinder design for die casting production ROTAVALVE prototype. • Mixture lubrication system, similar to a two- stroke engine • Resin gearing of the rotary valve to reduce the noise • Integrated driveshaft of the rotary valve system for optimised package • Port layout to reduce noise 29.07.2002 Table 1 shows the basic engine specification conventional two-strokes. So the integration of the ROTAVALVE engine in a chainsaw or unit brushcutter application is easy.

Engine specification ROTARY VALVE STRUCTURE To fulfill the operational features of hand held equipment , no maintenance and high wear Figure 4: Rotary valve resistance of the valve train was requested. The rotary valve and driveshaft unit is made out of NI- RESIST, the liner of the valve is NIKASIL coated LUBRICATION SYSTEM (figure 3). NI-RESIST has almost the same thermal expansion coefficient as aluminium. The Today all chainsaws are equipped with two stroke engines. So the availability of fuel/oil mixture in this special application is much better than of standard gasoline. A lubrication system with an oil sump requests 3 different tanks for fuel, engine oil and chain oil. The new lubrication system uses a premixed fuel/oil mixture. The rotary valve and the piston is lubricated with the intake charge, conrod and main bearing by an lubrication port in the rotary valve. During the depression in the crankcase a port between intake and crankcase is opened and the engine sucks fuel/oil mixture in to the crankcase. The port opens also during the intake phase and residual oil and fuel travels back in the cylinder. Figure 3: View on the valve liner CONCLUSION rotary valve is lubricated by the fuel/oil mixture and cooled by the fresh charge. So no additional A new experimental four-stroke engine with a sealing system is necessary. To compensate the rotary valve system was developed.

The developed technology drivetrain unit is the only additional part. The can beat the two-stroke engine even in the weight of the complete system is approx. 100g. application of chainsaws and powercutters. The rotary valve has only one slot for the timing of intake and exhaust and is simple and cheap to produce. Figure 4 shows the rotary valve. REFERENCES 1. Muroki T., Moriyoshi Y., Sekizuka S.

  • Jennings: Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook
    Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s copy of the ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” and used it and tips from “Fast by Gast” to create one fast bike. John kept his 500 until he retired and moved to the coast in 2005. The whereabouts of Wild Jim, his 750 Kawasaki drag bike and the only copy of ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” that I have ever seen is a complete mystery. I recently acquired a 1980 Polaris TXL and am digging into the inner workings of the engine. I wanted a copy of this manual but wasn’t willing to wait for a copy to show up on EBay. Happily, a search of the internet finally hit on a Word version of the manual.

  • ENRESO WORLD - Ilab
    ENRESO WORLD - ILab Different Car Engine Types Istas René Graduated in Automotive Technologies 1-1-2019 1 4 - STROKE ENGINE A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed: 1. Intake: Also known as induction or suction. This stroke of the piston begins at top dead center (T.D.C.) and ends at bottom dead center (B.D.C.). In this stroke the intake valve must be in the open position while the piston pulls an air-fuel mixture into the cylinder by producing vacuum pressure into the cylinder through its downward motion. The piston is moving down as air is being sucked in by the downward motion against the piston. 2. Compression: This stroke begins at B.D.C, or just at the end of the suction stroke, and ends at T.D.C. In this stroke the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture in preparation for ignition during the power stroke (below). Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during this stage. 3. Combustion: Also known as power or ignition. This is the start of the second revolution of the four stroke cycle. At this point the crankshaft has completed a full 360 degree revolution. While the piston is at T.D.C. (the end of the compression stroke) the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines), forcefully returning the piston to B.D.C.

  • 103 Rotary-Valve Trumpets. Instruments with Clock-Spring Returns Constitute
    UTLEY & KLAUS 103 Figure 22 Trumpet in C by Andreas Barth, Munich, ca. 1845 (M Stadtmuseum, 79-38); with piston ends after Leopold Uhlmann. rotary-valve trumpets. Instruments with clock-spring returns constitute the second largest group among the double-piston valves, reaching their peak in the 1840s. There is a third operating mechanism for double-piston valves—one which also uses levers, but shorter ones. Such instruments appeared as early as the 1820s, but were used principally in the 1840s and 1850s. These instruments are held vertically with the loop above the bell, like those with long levers. According to Heyde this model originated in Adorf in Saxony, where it is first recorded in a trumpet by Johann Gottlieb Roth. His pupil Carl August Müller (1804-70), who was born in Adorf, built instruments in the same style Figure 23 Unsigned trumpet in G with short levers and flat spring (GNM, MI 380). 104 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL around 1835. According to drawings of Müller’s instruments, published by Heyde,24 they had the semitone valve first. Müller settled in Mainz in 1824; this is the reason why this model was called the “Old Mainz” valve later on. The earliest instrument with this construction seems to be the unsigned trumpet in G (GNM, MI 380, Figure 23), which could be as early as 1835 or even a little earlier. This instrument has a flat spring as return mechanism, the oldest form of this valve type. Carl August Müller introduced small rollers to improve the operation of the return- spring in 1835.
