Kia Sedona: CVVT (Continuous Variable Valve Timing) System Description and Operation
Third generation YP (2014-2026) / Kia Sedona YP Service Manual / Emission Control System / Exhaust Emission Control System / CVVT (Continuous Variable Valve Timing) System Description and Operation
| 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).
CVVT improves engine performance through reduction of pump 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 runs 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 varies the cam phase by using the hydraulic force of the engine oil. |
The engine oil released from the CVVT oil control valve
varies the cam phase in the direction (Intake Advance/Exhaust Retard) or
in the opposite direction (Intake Retard/Exhaust Advance) of the engine
rotation by rotating the rotor connected to the camshaft inside the cam
phaser.
| Operation Principle |
The CVVT has the mechanism of rotating the rotor vane with
hydraulic force generated by the engine oil supplied to the advance or
retard chamber in accordance with the CVVT oil control valve control.
