1 MAF sensor 2 PCM 3 Oxidation catalytic converter 4 Turbocharger(s) 5 EGR valve servo motor 6 Position sensor (integrated in servo motor) 7 Intercooler 8 EGR cooler 9 Intake manifold flap with servo motor (only in emission standard IV) By using turbochargers, the temperatures in the combustion chamber rise together with the compression and… Read More »

Bosch-Common Rail System – Regeneration process

With the use of diesel particulate filters the remaining diesel particulate matter can be reduced by more than 99%. The storage capacity of the diesel particulate filter is limited. This means that the diesel particulates accumulated in the diesel particulate filter have to be removed periodically. This is achieved by burning off the diesel particulates… Read More »

Bosch-Common Rail System – Intake manifold flap servo motor

An intake manifold flap is located in the air intake system which has the following functions: • Restricting the intake air for exhaust gas recirculation, • Closing the intake system when the engine is stopped, • Closing the air path via the intercooler while the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter takes place The intake… Read More »
