Simulation of a Spark Ignition Engine Functioning with Cylinders Deactivation
The next few years the automotive manufacturers will be ready to face the new engines providing the EURO 5 and EURO 6 demands. Many configurations of the internal combustion engines have been made aiming to reduce the harmful gasses and CO2 emissions by decreasing the fuel consumption. The architecture of the propulsion systems and engines developed through many years considers both the spark ignition and diesel engines, combined with a conventional electric motor and a battery package. The hereby paper aims at creating models and at simulating the operation of a propulsion system and an internal combustion engine, with 4 or 6 cylinders when one, two or even three of the engine cylinders are deactivated trying to study the behaviour of both the propulsion system and the engine in these cases.
