STOCK SYSTEM OF A V-ENGINE
This publication describes the stock system of a four-stroke V- engine, where the strokes have been coordinated so that there is no overlapping between any cylinder pairs. In practice, this means that the power stroke commencing in bank A is followed, in the same cylinder pair, by an induction stroke in bank B. Thus effective power is being transmitted to a single crank by only one connection rod at the time. The solution has been accomplished by shifting from bank A to another adjacent crank in bank B, and back to bank A to another crank by means of a crank fold (8). The objective of the solution is to reach minimal mechanical and thermal strain, optimal motor balance, constant streaming coordination, slightly better efficiency, and remarkably lower impulses.
