    摘要: An engine includes: a duration apparatus for adjusting an opening duration of an intake valve, a Cylinder De-Activation (CDA) apparatus for controlling deactivation of an exhaust valve, an igniter, an injector for injecting a fuel, an operation state signal unit for measuring an operation state of a vehicle, and a controller for controlling the operations of the duration apparatus, the CDA apparatus, the igniter, and the injector based on an output signal from the operation state signal unit. A control method for this engine includes: determining, by the controller, whether the operation state of the vehicle corresponds to a CDA operation mode; and when the CDA operation mode is determined, operating the CDA apparatus so as to stop the operations of the igniter and the injector, increase an opening duration of the intake valve, and deactivate the exhaust valve by controlling the CDA apparatus.

    摘要: A control method of valve opening and closing for an engine of which an intake continuous variable valve duration (CVVD) apparatus and an intake continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) apparatus are provided on the intake side, and an exhaust continuous variable valve duration (CVVD) apparatus and an exhaust continuous variable valve timing (CVVT) apparatus are provided on the exhaust side. The control method includes: determining, by a controller, a driving region among a predetermined plurality of driving regions according to a speed and a torque of the engine; and controlling, by the controller, opening timing, closing timing, and opening duration of each of an intake valve and an exhaust valve according to the driving region of the engine. The intake valve closing (IVC) timing is before a bottom dead center (BDC) in all driving regions.
