The Performance Simulation of One-way Inlet Valve of Reflux Scavenging Free Piston Engine

The performance of one-way inlet valve directly impacts the effect of the reflux scavenging two-stroke engine intake. It's discovered that the intake air flow rate, the weight of valve and the spring constant have the greatest impact on the opening, closing and the lift change of one-way inlet valve, by simulating the movement of piston and valve using CFD software. The greater the flow rate, the smaller the weight of valve, or the smaller the spring constant, then the faster the opening of valve. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the valve quickly returns, the bigger of spring constant is the better. The phases of opening and closing of valve lag fall behind the phases of piston getting to bottom dead center (BDC) and top dead center (TDC).
