The Swirl is one of the important parameters that effects the characteristics of combustion. PDA valve has been developed to satisfy two requirements of achieving sufficient swirl generation for improving the combustion and still maintaining high volumetric efficiency. This paper presents the experimental results of the effect of PDA valve on characteristics of combustion in single cylinder spark ignition engine. As a result, the combustion stability can be greatly improved by PDA valve. The data from present study are available for design of engine as the basic data.
