Abstract:
In an internal-combustion engine with a hydraulic system for variable operation of the engine valves, there is envisaged at least one supplementary reservoir bled off to the atmosphere, communicating with the low-pressure circuit for compensating for the variations in volume of the hydraulic fluid that derive from the variations in temperature and for thus preventing air bubbles from forming in the circuit.
Abstract:
In an internal-combustion engine with a hydraulic system for variable operation of the valves, the tappet actuated by each cam of the camshaft is slidably mounted in a tubular body which is made of a single piece with a bushing for guiding the valve-actuating piston.
Abstract:
In an internal-combustion engine with a hydraulic system for variable operation of the valves, the piston for operating each valve includes an auxiliary hydraulic tappet.
Abstract:
Described herein is a multicylinder internal-combustion engine provided with an electronically controlled hydraulic device for controlling variable actuation of the valves of the engine. The final phase of the movement of closing the intake valves is slowed down by a hydraulic braking device of an improved type.
Abstract:
In an internal-combustion engine with a hydraulic system for variable operation of the valves, associated to the tappet controlled by each cam of the cam shaft is a passage for bleeding the hydraulic system.
