Characteristics Of Temperature And Current In Aqgs; Operation Of Aqgs - SSANGYONG Korando 2012 Manual

10-10
4) System Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and reduces the
exhaust gas during cold starting.
ECU receives the various signals such as engine rpm, coolant temperature and vehicle speed through
CAN communication lines. GCU controls the pre-heating, cranking and post-heating operations and
monitors the glow plug. If GCU detects a problem, it sends the result to ECU.

(1) Characteristics of temperature and current in AQGS

1.
AQGS unit increases the glow plug temperature very rapidly (1,000˚C in 2 seconds).
2. FET (similar to transistor) for each cylinder in AQGS unit pre-heats the glow plug.
3. If the glow plug temperature reaches to target temperature, the temperature is controlled by
duty ratio.
AQGS PWM Control
AQGS unit supplies the power to glow plug.

(2) Operation of AQGS

Frequency: 20~33Hz
PWM Control duty ratio
- 1st step: 100%
- 2nd step: 35%
- 3rd step: 23%
Actual voltage pattern
This shows the voltage and time
supplied by AQGS by steps. As shown
on the graph, the supplied voltage is
decreased as the steps are continued.
The 3rd step is to keep the temperature,
not to raise it.
1. Duty control area:
Between 5 and 100%
2. Frequency: 20 Hz
3.
Duty ratio = (RMS voltage)²
(Battery voltage)²
