PORT CNC FULL
Using a shorter runner to reduce the delay is not feasible because, at the end of the cycle, the long runner now continues to flow at full speed disregarding the rising pressure in the cylinder and providing pressure to the cylinder when it is needed most. This not only applies to the initial signal but to any and every change in the pressure or vacuum developed in the cylinder. 46 degrees, during which nothing but the volume of the port/runner supplies the demands of the cylinder. The engine using this system, running at 8500 rpm, takes a very considerable 46 crank degrees before any signal from the cylinder can reach the runner end (assuming no movement of the air in the runner). In an intake runner at room temperature the sonic speed is about 1,100 feet per second (340 m/s) and traverses a 12-inch (300 mm) port/runner in 0.9 milliseconds. The wave/flow activity in a real engine is vastly more complex than this but the principle is the same.Īt first glance this wave travel might seem to be blindingly fast and not very significant but a few calculations show the opposite is true. It only occurs at 1/2 stroke (90 degrees) with a connecting rod of infinite length. For normal automotive design this point is almost always between 69 and 79 degrees ATDC, with higher rod ratios favoring the later position. This point occurs at different points depending on the length of the connecting rod and the throw of the crank, and varies with the connecting rod ratio (rod/stroke).

That is, any time a change occurs in the cylinder – whether positive or negative – such as when the piston reaches maximum speed. This is why port/runner volumes are so important the volumes of successive parts of the port/runner control the flow during all transition periods. The speed that the signal can travel is the speed of sound within the runner.

The principle is the same as in the water hammer effect so well known to plumbers. It is this phenomenon that enables the so-called “ram tuning” to occur, and it is what is being “tuned” by tuned intake and exhaust systems. This very considerable pressure rise can be seen on the graph below, it rises far above atmospheric pressure. The runner entrance continues to flow at full speed, forcing the pressure to rise until the signal reaches the entrance. The closing valve causes a buildup of pressure that travels up the runner as a positive wave. Not shown in this animation.)Ĭonversely, the closing of the valve does not immediately stop flow at the runner entrance, which continues completely unaffected until the signal that the valve closed reaches it. (Once the low-pressure wave reaches the open end of the runner it reverses sign, the onrushing air forces a high pressure wave down the runner. Up until that point all that can happen is the higher pressure gas filling the volume of the runner decompresses or expands into the low-pressure region advancing up the runner. It is only then that the entire runner can begin to flow. The air at the runner entrance does not move until the wave reaches all the way to the end. All the air on the upstream side of the moving disturbance boundary is completely isolated and unaffected by what happens on the downstream side. When the valve opens, the air doesn’t flow in, it decompresses into the low-pressure region below it. Note the green "valve" opening and closing. This highly simplified animation shows how air flows as waves in an intake system.
