In four-stroke cycle engines and some two-stroke cycle engines, the valve timing is controlled by the camshaft. control-it results in a reduction of up to 10% in C[O.sub.2] emissions, higher fuel efficiency, better response, and more power when compared to an identical engine without this technology. It eliminates the throttle valves and controls air intake by continuously altering the valve events and lift. The mechanism consists of a rocker arm with twin links that close the intake valves Noun 1. intake valve - a valve that controls the flow of fluid through an intake piston chamber, cylinder - a chamber within which piston moves valve - control consisting of a mechanical device for controlling the flow of a fluid by transferring rotational movement to the output cam via a driveshaft with an eccentric cam.
