Introduction
VCR engine
High compression ratio is used for good stability and low
load operation
Low compression ratio used at full load to boost the
turbocharger intake pressure
Load increases engine exhaust increases boost
available more
At full load turbocharger boost capacity is high so
reduction in CR is necessary for more efficiency and to
reduce thermal stresses.
Used mainly with turbocharged diesel engines
-- VCR concept is beneficial at low load
-- better multifuel capacity
-- also spark engine can produce knock due to
sudden change from high CR to low CR.
Theoretical Analysis
For part load and high load CR is low in VCR
than FCR
Expansion is slower at low compression
ratios.
Gas temperature is lower than the for
constant compression ratio engines for full
compression stroke and up to 500 after tdc .
After this the temperature drop is slower due
to slower expansion
Exhaust valves in VCR run hotter.
Boost pressure and mean cycle temperature
increases with load.
Both bsfc and isfc increases with load.
Pre-turbine gas temperature is higher but
limited by metallurgical considerations.

Control strategy
Basic Relationship: Points 1,
2, 4, 5 lie on the plane of low
compression. Point 3 lies on the
plane of high compression.
The engine is started at low
CR and zero boost (point 1).
When the driver accelerates,
load and boost increase to
point 2. When the driver
throttles back into a light load
cruise (point 3), load and boost
reduce and CR increases.
When the throttle is reopened from this condition, CR
reduces as boost and load
increase, reaching point 4 and,
ultimately, point 5 (WOT).

Accomplishments
Due to use of high compression ratio at
low loads the VCR engine has a good
starting and idling performance.
Due to higher compression ratio at
starting and part load operation the VCR
engine has good multifuel capability.
