Abstract

In future, peak combustion pressure and thermal loading of the components will further increase. In addition to the crank case and the crank train components, particularly the design of the cylinder head is affected by this development. In this connection, an important question is how a cylinder head should be designed to meet the higher demands. Therefore, FEV Motorentechnik performed an internal R & D project where various kinds of concepts have been designed and compared with each other.
