Engine Brake Control - Navistar INTERNATIONAL DT 466 Service Manual

54
The Diamond Logic® engine brake, a compression
release brake system, provides the following:
• Significant noise reduction
• Improved engine braking
• High durability
• Compatibility with cruise control system
• Lower operating cost and longer service life for
brake shoes
The Diamond Logic® engine brake is available for
all engine displacements. The operator can select
one of three brake settings, depending on terrain and
driving conditions. See vehicle Operator's Manual for
complete operating instructions.
Engine Brake Concept
The engine brake system retards vehicle speed
during deceleration or braking. During deceleration
and braking, the vehicle wheels drive the engine; the
engine acts as an energy absorber.
Engine Brake Operation
To absorb energy, the Diamond Logic® engine brake
combines bleeding off compressed intake air, VGT
controlling exhaust back pressure, and vehicle driven
piston movement.
• Energy is absorbed during the compression
stroke, when intake air is compressed and forced
through a slightly open exhaust valve, providing
compressed air flow to the VGT.
• VGT turbine vanes create the desired energy
absorbing, back pressure and intake boost.
Read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of this manual before doing any procedures.
ENGINE SYSTEMS
• At the top of the compression stroke energy
dissipates, pressure to force the piston down is
eliminated, and energy is absorbed by the vehicle
drive pulling the piston down.
