Nameplates, model designation or serial number can be found on the product. All EU-certified engines delivered by MTU come with a second nameplate. This second nameplate is deliv- ered "loosely" with the engine. If the nameplate secured to the engine after installation in the vehicle/system is not visible without the removal of components, the system integrator must install the second nameplate in a clearly visible area on the vehicle/system.

Benefits • High level of rigidity • Low noise and vibration level Function The crankcase (1) is the component where the power generated by the combustion process of the fuel/air mixture in the cylinders is transmitted to the crankshaft. The crankcase is cast as a single solid unit to with- stand the forces involved.

Page 52
Function Charge air flows into the combustion chamber of the cylinder when the intake valves (7) are open. The injector (3) injects fuel into the combustion chamber creating an air/fuel mixture which ignites sponta- neously under compression. When the exhaust valves (9) open, exhaust gas created by the combustion process flows via the outlet duct to the exhaust manifold leading to the exhaust turbochargers.
Page 54
Function The camshaft (5) controls opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. The motion applied from the cams of the camshaft to actuate the valves is transferred by swing followers (3, 4), pushrods (6) and rocker arms (8, 11) onto the valve bridges (13) of the intake and exhaust valves. The valves open against spring pressure and close with the pressure exerted by the valve springs.

4.2.10 Fuel cooler Extremely high injection pressure increases the temperature of the uncombusted, depressurized fuel when it is returned to the tank. This can create extremely hot return fuel which exceeds the material limitations of the day tank and the injection equipment. A fuel cooler reduces the fuel temperature in the fuel return line and day tank.
Page 62
Function The fuel cooler is installed in the fuel return line between the engine and the fuel tank. Uncombusted, heated fuel (a) flows through the fuel inlet (5) into the heat exchanger (4). Air (b) drawn through an aluminum radiator block by a centrifugal fan (6) withdraws heat from the fuel. After passing through the heat exchanger (4) comprising a pipe bundle, the air-cooled fuel is returned to the fuel tank via the fuel outlet (2).

Benefits • Engine, oil and charge-air reach optimum operating temperature very quickly • Prevention of white smoke by preheating the charge-air during idling and low-load operation • Charge-air cooling during load-operation Function Illustrations apply similarly to other cylinder configurations. Engine coolant circuit (high temperature HT) After starting the engine, the engine coolant pump (6) pumps part of the coolant through the lube-oil heat exchanger (3) into the cooling chambers of the crankcase (7).
Page 65
Charge-air coolant circuit (LT) The charge-air coolant pump (5) installed on the engine pumps the charge-air coolant to the intercooler (3). The charge-air coolant reaches the thermostat (6) via the intercooler (3). The charge-air coolant flows to the external charge-air coolant cooler via the thermostat (6) when the engine is at operating temperature. Cooled charge-air coolant coming from the charge-air coolant cooler flows to the charge-air coolant pump (5).

Thermal management to support the regeneration process is generally only necessary in unusual climatic conditions or when operating continuously in the low-load range. The MTU engine management system in the ECU (Engine Control Unit) calculates DPF load and, if necessary, temporarily increases the exhaust tempera- ture, and hence soot burn-off, significantly by means in-engine thermal management.
Page 75
CRT principle (Continuous Regeneration Trap) The CRT effect (Continuous Regeneration Trap) is based on chemical reactions which take place in the ex- haust gas aftertreatment system of the engine. The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) first produces nitrogen dioxide (NO ) from the nitrogen monoxide (NO) in the exhaust gas. Sooty deposits in the DPF are steadily burnt off with the aid of the NO thus gained (see figure).

The CRT (Continuous Regeneration Trap) effect facilitates the use of a continuously regenerating particulate filter system consisting of an diesel oxida- tion catalyst (DOC) and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) connected to it.

4.3.3 SCR System 4.3.3.1 SCR catalyst – Operating principle “Selective Catalytic Reduction”, or SCR for short) is a chemical reaction in the course of which harmful ni- trous oxides (NO ) in the exhaust gas are converted largely into water (H O) and nitrogen (N The entire exhaust mass flow is routed through the catalytic converter system, bringing it into contact with the catalytically active surface.

Page 82
The DU (2) features a temperature and pressure sensor to control the amount of RA injected at a pressure of 10 bar (abs.). The opening time of a solenoid valve in the DU controls RA injection. Each SCR system comprises two pairs of supply and dosing units (SU/DU) which are interconnected to form a loop pressurized at approx.
DIN 70070 / ISO 222 41-1 is mandatory. SCR systems from MTU are designed for a concentration of 32.5% urea. Mis-filling with diesel fuel may damage seals and hoselines resulting in leaking fuel and fire. Never attempt to start-up or operate the machine/system after mis-filling.

The RA system heating components are controlled by the ECU. This does not apply to the main RA tank heat- er. MTU recommends permanently heating the RA tank if temperatures below -5 °C can be expected. The component parts of the heating system, including the temperature sensors, are tested for open load and short circuit when activated as soon as the ECU is powered-up and is ready for operation prior to engine start-up.
