(Patent
#5,782,215)
Increasing
thermal efficiency by ~1 % and hp by ~8
%
Importance of Uniport Valve
For
the
Dual
Pressure Intake
Engine
A dual intake engine
is possible without using
the Uniport
Valve. But the extra port area it provides (~39%
more intake area) is what allows an engine to keep its volumetric
efficiency while increasing the thermal efficiency.
