Compressed air powered engine is a type of zero-pollution engine, but its conversion efficiency is very low for its high pressure exhaust which causes much exergy loss. In this study, a control system was developed to reduce the exhaust pressure of vehicle compressed air powered engine. The control system is made up of a controller, a pressure sensor, a photoelectric encoder, an inlet solenoid valve, and an exhaust solenoid valve. The controller receives the pressure signal of compressed air in cylinder from the pressure sensor and receives crank angle signal from photoelectric encoder, calculates when the solenoid valves should be opened or closed, and passes control signals to the solenoid valves. The simulation results indicate that the exhaust pressure can be controlled to be near to surrounding pressure by using this control system, and the exergy loss in exhaust stage can be avoided.
