Background

The  Environmental  Protection Agency  receives  information about  many systems
which  appear  to   offer  potential  for  emission  reduction  or  fuel  economy
improvement  compared  to  conventional engines  and vehicles.  EPA's  Emission
Control  Technology Division  is interested  in  evaluating  all  such  systems,
because  of the  obvious  benefits  to  the Nation  from the  identification of
systems that can reduce emissions,  improve fuel economy, or both.  EPA invites
developers of  such systems to provide complete technical data on the system's
principle  of operation,  together with available test  data on  the system.  In
those  cases  for which review by EPA technical staff  suggests  that  the data
available  shows promise, confirmatory tests are run at the  EPA  Motor Vehicle
Emission  Laboratory at  Ann Arbor,  Michigan.   The results  of all such test
projects  are  set  forth  in a series  of  Technology Assessment and Evaluation
Reports, of which  this report is one.

The  deactivation  of one  or more engine  cylinders is  a method  that  has been
proposed as offering potential  for  vehicle fuel economy improvements.  At low
power  outputs  the  throttle  is  nearly closed.   This  introduces  a "throttling
loss",  which  is the energy  that the engine must expend to  draw the  fuel-air
mixture  through  the carburetor  throttle  opening.  By operating an engine on a
reduced  number of  cylinders, and  operating these  cylinders at  higher  power
levels, the throttling losses are appreciably reduced.

A  cylinder deactivation  system is  being considered  for use  in several 1981
Cadillac  models.    Other  cylinder  deactivation systems  are  currently  under
development  in  the United States.   Since  EPA  had   not  tested a  cylinder
deactivation  system designed for  current vehicles,  EPA contacted the  Eaton
Corporation and requested  the loan  of a vehicle with the Eaton Valve Selector
System  installed.   Eaton made  available  a system  installed  in  a development
vehicle.

EPA  is  also  testing other cylinder  deactivation systems.   A  similar  Eaton
system was tested  in  a prototype vehicle provided  by  Cadillac Motor Division
of General Motors  and the  results  of those tests are  reported  in TEB report
#80-14,  "Emissions and  Fuel Economy  of  the Cadillac  Modulated Displacement
System."   An  aftermarket   retrofit   system  was  tested in  several  1979  V-8
vehicles  and  the  results  of those  tests  are reported in TEB report #80-18,
"Emissions  and Fuel Economy of the Automotive Cylinder  Deactivation System
(ACDS)."  Six  years ago,  EPA tested  a vehicle  with  4 cylinders deactivated.
The  results  of that test are given  in TAEB  report #75-11, "Evaluation of the
MSU 4-Cylinder Conversion Technique for V-8 Engines."

The conclusions drawn from the EPA evaluation tests are necessarily of limited
applicability.   A  complete  evaluation of  the  effectiveness  of  an  emission
control  system in achieving performance improvements on the many different
types of vehicles  that are in actual use requires a much larger sample of test
vehicles   than  is  economically  feasible  in  the evaluation  test  projects
conducted  by  EPA.  The  conclusions  from  the  EPA   evaluation  test can  be
considered to  be  quantitatively valid only for the specific  test cars  used;
however,  it  is reasonable  to extrapolate  the results  from the  EPA  test to
other  types  of vehicles  in a directional manner, i.e.  to suggest that similar
results are likely  to be achieved on other types of vehicles.

-------
Summary of Findings

The vehicle provided by Eaton was a development vehicle.  This vehicle was put
together  to  demonstrate   mechanical  features  of  the  Eaton Valve  Selector
System.   Eaton informed EPA  before testing that very  little effort  had been
devoted to  optimizing  this vehicle for either emissions or fuel economy.  The
generally negative test results should be viewed with this caveat.

In  the 8 cylinder mode, the  vehicle's  FTP emissions were: HC  0.58 gm/mi, CO
4.23  gm/mi;  and NOx   1.99  gm/mi.   FTP  fuel  economy was  14.6  mpg.   These
emission  levels  exceed the 1981  emission standards of HC 0.41  gm/mi,  CO 3.4
gm/mi, and NOx 1.0 gm/mi.


In  the 8  cylinder mode, the vehicle's HFET emissions  were:  HC 0.09 gm/mi, CO
0.11 gm/mi, and NOx 2.86 gm/mi.  Fuel economy was 21.0 mpg.

In the automatic mode,  when compared to the 8 cylinder mode,  the vehicle's FTP
emissions were:   HC  unchanged,  CO increased 22%, and  NOx decreased 4%.  Fuel
economy  increased 5%.   For  the  HFET:  HC  increased  107%,   CO  was  16 times
higher, and NOx decreased 20%.  HFET fuel economy increased 6%.

In  the 6 cylinder mode, when  compared  to the 8  cylinder mode,  the vehicle's
FTP  emissions were:   HC   up  130%, CO up 200%,  NOx  down 10%.   Fuel  economy
increased  3%.   The vehicle's  HFET emissions were:   HC  up 190%,  CO  30 times
higher, and NOx decreased 19%.  HFET fuel economy increased 5%.

In the 4 cylinder mode for both the FTP and HFET, HC and CO emission increases
were  even greater than those  that occurred  for the  6  cylinder or automatic
modes  of  operation.  Compared  to  the  8 cylinder  mode,   NOx decreased  10% for
the FTP and 37% for  the HFET.  Fuel  economy  decreased 10% for the FTP and 3%
for the HFET.

Vehicle  driveability was  good when  operating  on 8  cylinders.   Driveability
ranged  from poor to marginal in  the 4  cylinder,  6 cylinder,  and automatic
modes.

Description

The Eaton  Valve  Selector  is being developed by the Eaton Corporation's Engine
Components Division  and the Engineering  and Research Center.   The concept is
to  improve  vehicle fuel economy by selectively  shutting  off  engine cylinders
during periods of light engine load.

The principle is explained by Eaton as follows:

"The conventional spark-ignition  engine  has its  power output  controlled by a
throttle.   At low power  output,   the  throttle  is nearly closed  in  order to
limit  the  amount  of  fuel-air  mixture drawn into  the  cylinder.   However, this
small  throttle opening introduces a "throttling loss", which is the energy the
engine must  expend to  draw fuel-air through the throttle opening.  Because of
this, an engine runs most efficiently when unthrottled.

-------
    "The  unthrottled  state  can  be approached  by  operating  only  the  number of
    cylinders  needed  to  give  the  required power,  and  operating  them  at high
    power-per-cylinder  levels.   In  doing  so, the throttle  is  at a wider opening
    and  there  are fewer cylinders  drawing air through that  opening.  This reduces
    the  vacuum in  the intake manifold, thereby  reducing  the  throttling loss per
    cylinder.

    "Also,  there  are fewer cylinders  experiencing  throttling  loss.  This strategy
    is accomplished  through use of  the Eaton  Valve Selector.  At  low power levels,
    valve  selectors deactivate the valves on  one or more  of  the cylinders; for
    full power output, they restore  valve operation.

    "In  each of  the deactivated  cylinders,  the  piston  continues to reciprocate,
    but  the  intake  and  exhaust   valves  are  closed.    Since   the  gases  in the
    cylinders  are  merely  compressed  and  expanded  by  the  piston, no  energy is
    consumed  as  pumping  losses,   although   normal  frictional  losses   are   still
    present.   Furthermore, by closing both valves the cylinders  are not cooled by
    the  flow of  air and, consequently,  there is  no hesitation in firing once the
    valves are reactivated."

    To deactivate the  cylinders, Eaton has developed a mechanical system to  unload
    the  intake  and  exhaust valve rocker arm fulcrum points.  The system is  shown
    in Figures 1 and 2 below:

     for Conserving Energy  in Automotive  Engines."

-------
"On  the  conventional  overhead  valve,  pushrod  engine  configuration,  the
selector  is  mounted on the  intake  and exhaust valve rocker  arm studs,  above
the  rocker arm  fulcrums.    In  the enabled  mode,  as shown  in  Figure  1,  the
selector  body is  restrained  from moving upward by contact between projections
on body and the blocking plate above it.  The fulcrum is held down by the body
and the valves operate normally.

"When the selector  is  energized (to deactivate the valves) as shown in Figure
2,  the  blocking  plate is  rotated by  the  solenoid to  align windows  in  the
Dlocking  plate with the projections on the body.  As the rocker arm is lifted
by  the  pushrod,  the fulcrum rides  up  the  stud and lifts  the body,  since  the
body  is no  longer  restrained by  the  blocking plate.  The rocker  arm  pivots
about the tip of the valve and the valve remains closed.

"The  body  is spring  loaded downward,  but  is internally  constrained to  a
maximum downward  position.   This internal spring  provides correct  valve gear
action and ensures  normal  hydraulic lifter function when the valve gear is in
the deactivated mode.

"The  solenoid  force is  less than  that  required  to overcome blocking  plate/
body  friction  when the valve is lifted.   This prevents  deactivation  of  the
valve while  it  is  lifted,  which  would cause  the valve  to  seat abruptly.

"The valve selector has also^been adapted to rocker shaft engines and overhead
cam/finger-follower engines.

The  four  standard  cylinders  without  the valve selector have zero  valve lash
due  to  the  action of  the  hydraulic  lifters.  The  four cylinders  with  the
deactivators must  have a few  thousandths  of an inch (tenth  of  a millimeter)
hydraulic lifter clearance to permit the mechanism to function.  To compensate
for  these differences,  the camshaft  lift  profile is  modified for  the four
cylinders  with  deactivators.    This  gives  the  valve   selector cylinders  a
camshaft  lift profile  that is  equivalent  to the  standard camshaft  lift.

"In   practice   the  valve   selector   must  be  integrated   into   the   total
vehicle/engine package.   Typically  engine  rpm,  water  temperature,  throttle
angle, manifold  vacuum, and  transmission  gearing are  monitored by  a  set of
sensors.  This information  is fed into an electronic control unit.  Based on
this  information   and  programmed   instructions,   the  number  of  operating
cylinders  is  determined  and  appropriate  signals  are  sent  to  the  valve
selectors.

"Eaton  claims  that the following  are typical  fuel economy  improvements that
should be attainable in various operating modes:

Idle                40%
Deceleration        40%
Low-Speed Cruise    25%
Highway Cruise      15% ^
Light Acceleration  10%

Test Vehicle Description

The  test  vehicle was  a 1979 Cadillac  DeVille that had a  6.0  liter Cadillac
engine  installed to  replace the  stock  7.0  liter  engine.  The  Eaton  Valve
Selector was  installed on the vehicle.   This  included  the electro-mechanical
valve  selector,  electronic  control unit,  engine  sensors,  and  the  modified
camshaft.   The engine sensors which interface with the electronic control unit
included rpm,  water temperature,  throttle  valve angle, manifold vacuum,  and
transmission  gear.    The carburetor  and  control  units were  modified  1980
prototype  units.   Additional  vehicle  details  are  given  in  the  appendix.

Since  this was  a  development  vehicle,  Eaton had  installed  a set  of  valve
selector  operating  mode  control  switches.    By  selecting  the  appropriate
switch, the engine  could be made to continuously operate on either 4, 6, or 8
cylinders.   A fourth  operating  mode,   automatic,  allowed  the  valve  selector
control unit  logic  to automatically  select  4,  6,  or  8 cylinder operation.

In the automatic mode, the vehicle was programmed to operate on 8 cylinders at
idle,  speeds  below  20 mph,  and at  heavy  load.   The vehicle was programmed to
operate on 4  cylinders  while  cruising at  steady speeds under 50 mph,  while
decelerating,  and during light accelerations.  The  vehicle  was programmed to
operate on 6 cylinders while cruising at higher steady speeds and during light
to moderate accelerations.

Test Procedures

Exhaust emission tests  were conducted according  to the  1977  Federal  Test
Procedure  (FTP)  described in the  Federal Register of June  28,  1977,  and the
EPA  Highway   Fuel  Economy Test  (HFET)  described  in the Federal  Register of
September  10,  1976.  The vehicle  was  not  tested for  evaporative emissions.

Additional tests were conducted as an evaluation tool.  The tests consisted of
hot start LA-4 cycles, steady state, and acceleration.  The LA-4 driving cycle
is the basic FTP driving cycle.  The results of these hot start LA-4 tests are
somewhat similar to bags 2 and 3 of the FTP.

Discussion of Results

The  objective of this test  program was to evaluate the potential fuel economy
benefits of   cylinder  deactivation and to determine  the  effects  on vehicle
emissions.   The  test  results are summarized in the  tables  and figures in the
following  paragraphs.   Additional   tabulations  of the data  are given in the
appendix.

1.   Federal Test Procedure

Overall, the  operation of the vehicle on a reduced number of cylinders caused
HC and CO emissions  to increase.  NOx  emissions  tended  to  decrease slightly.
Fuel  economy  changes  ranged from a  10% decrease  to  a 5%  increase.   These
results are tabulated in Table 1.

In the  8  cylinder mode,  the vehicle's HC,  CO,  and NOx emissions exceeded the
1981  emission  standards  of  HC  0.41 gin/mi,  CO 3.4 gm/mi, and  NOx 1.0 gm/mi.
However,  the  vehicle did  meet  the CO  and NOx  standards for  1980  of CO 7.0
gm/mi, and NOx 2.0 gm/mi.  Vehicle driveability was good.

Due  to  a  rich misfire  condition,  the  4  cylinder  mode caused  the largest
increases  in  HC  and  CO  emission  levels  over  the  8  cylinder  levels.   HC
increased  to  a  level  5  times  higher and  CO increased  to  a  level  19  times
higher.   NOx decreased 10%.   The vehicle badly failed to meet the 1980 HC and
CO  standards.   Fuel economy decreased  10%.   Vehicle driveability  was  poor.
The  vehicle  lacked  sufficient  power  to  follow the  driving  schedule  when
accelerating at speeds  above 10 mph.

The 6 cylinder  mode  caused HC emissions  to double and CO emissions to triple
when  compared  to the  8  cylinder  mode.   NOx decreased  10%.   The vehicle was
unable  to  meet  the 1980  HC  or  CO  standards.   Fuel  economy  increased  a
negligible amount.  Vehicle driveability was acceptable.

When  operated  in  the automatic  mode instead of 8 cylinder mode, the vehicle's
CO  emissions  increased 22%,  and NOx increased  4%.   HC  was  unchanged.   Fuel
economy increased 5% and was the  best of  any mode.   The vehicle did not meet
the  1981  emission standards but did meet the 1980 CO and NOx standard while
exceeding the HC standard.

Vehicle  driveability was  inconsistent  in  the  automatic mode.   Although the
driver  had  adequate  power  for  acceleration, it  was  difficult  to follow the
driving  schedules during  cruise and light acceleration; the  valve selector
frequently  shifted   between  4,   6,  and  8  cylinder modes of  operation.   This
caused  frequent power  surges and power losses  making  it very  difficult to
follow the driving schedule.

-------
2.   Highway Fuel Economy Test

Overall, the operation  of  the vehicle on a reduced number of cylinders caused
HC and  CO emissions  to increase substantially.  Fuel  economy  changes ranged
from a  3%  decrease to a 5% increase.  These results are tabulated in Table II
below.

In the eight cylinder mode, the vehicle's average emissions were HC  .09 gm/rai,
CO  .11  gm/rai,   and NOx  2.86  gm/mi.   Fuel  economy was  21.0  mpg.  Vehicle
driveability was good.

The 4  cylinder  mode caused the greatest increases in HC and CO emissions over
8  cylinder  emission levels.  NOx was  the  lowest of  the four configurations.
However,  fuel  economy decreased approximately  3%.   HC  emissions increased to
.72 gm/mi,  CO  emissions increased to 34.43 gm/mi, and NOx emissions decreased
38%.   These increases  in  HC  and CO emissions  and  the  extreme variability in
test results were  due to an engine rich misfire condition when operating on 4
cylinders.

Vehicle  driveability was  marginal in the 4 cylinder mode.  The vehicle lacked
sufficient  power to follow  the driving schedule when  accelerating at speeds
above  10 mph.    The transmission upshifts  and downshifts were  very erratic.

-------
In  the 6  cylinder mode,  HC  emissions  tripled  to  .26  gm/mi,  CO emissions
increased by a  factor of 30 to 2.3 gm/mi, and NOx decreased 19% when compared
to the 8 cylinder emission levels.  Fuel economy increased 5%.

In  the 6  cylinder mode,  vehicle  driveability was  again poor.   The engine
transmitted a roughness  to the driver.  Also there were numerous transmission
upshifts  and downshifts  which  caused  difficulty in  following the  driving
schedule.

In  the automatic mode,  the HC emissions  doubled, CO emissions  went  up by a
factor of  16,  and  NOx decreased  20%  when compared  to  8 cylinder operation.
Fuel  economy  increased  6%.   Again vehicle driveability  was marginal  in the
automatic  mode   for the  same reasons  as  for  the  FTP.   At  times the mode
shifting was very erratic.

3.   LA-4 Cycles

In order to  acquire emissions and  fuel  economy information on the vehicle as
soon  as  possible,  the  vehicle  was given  a  series  of  hot start  LA-4 tests
shortly after arriving.   These hot start LA-4  are somewhat similar to bags 2
and 3  of  the FTP.  These  tests consisted  of  a prep LA-4 in the desired mode,
followed by  a 10  minute soak, and then an LA-4  test for  emissions  and fuel
economy.

The results  are  tabulated  in Table III below.  For  comparison purposes, the
FTP bags 2 and 3 combined results are also given.

 The effect of  the  various  operating  modes (cylinder selection) on emissions,
 fuel economy,  and driveability  were similar  to  the  FTP effects.

 4.    Steady State

 Overall,  the operation of  the  vehicle  at steady state on a  reduced number of
 cylinders  caused  only a  relatively small  change  in  emissions.  HC  and CO
 emissions we're quite  low and nearly  unaffected by the number  of cylinders in
 operation.   Except at 55 mph,  NOx emissions and  fuel economy increased as the
 number of operating cylinders was reduced.
 These results are tabulated  in  Tables  V and VI in  the appendix.
 fuel economy results are plotted in Figures  3 and  4  below.

                                 FIGURE 4
 Figure  4  shows  that  this vehicle's  fuel  economy  is  rather  insensitive to
 vehicle speeds between 25 and 45 mph.  Fuel economy drops only moderately when
 the  speed is increased to 55 mph.  This is unusual since most vehicles show a
 greater relative change in fuel economy.

 5.    Acceleration Tests

 At  the  conclusion of the emission tests, acceleration tests were performed on
 the  vehicle  using  a  chassis  dynamometer.   To  minimize  tire  slippage,  the
 chassis  dynamometer's  front  and  rear rolls  were coupled  together  for this
 test.  The  results are tabulated below in Table IV.

Note;  These  acceleration tests  were not necessarily  conducted at  wide open
throttle.  During  the course  of testing the  vehicle it  became  evident that
under  some  operating conditions,  the vehicle would  accelerate best  at part
throttle.   These acceleration tests  were  conducted  for best  acceleration.

The vehicle  probably remained  in 8 cylinder mode during automatic mode tests.

Conclusions

Overall, when  operated  on less than 8 cylinders, this vehicle's FTP emissions
increased  greatly  due   to  extreme  mixture  enrichment.   The vehicle's  fuel
economy decreased appreciably  in 4 cylinder mode.  There was a small tendency
for improved fuel economy when operating on 6  cylinders.   However,  best fuel
economy was achieved in the automatic mode.

Vehicle  driveability was  good when  operating  on 8  cylinders.   Driveability
ranged  from  poor to marginal  in  the 4 cylinder,  6  cylinder, and  automatic
modes.

This  vehicle  did  not  demonstrate  the  claimed  benefits  for  a  cylinder
deactivator  system.   However,  Eaton  had informed EPA  prior to  testing that
this was a developmental vehicle on which little work had been done to improve
emissions or fuel economy.
