Test set-up and experimentation

Test set-up and experimentation The feasibility of using the Taguchi method to optimize selected engine design/operating parameters for low emission was investigated using a Dhandapani Foundary (DPF) diesel engine in Part-I1. In order to examine whether the variation in key combustion parameters have the same effect and influence on every diesel engine of any make, the same research methodology was adopted on TEXVEL diesel engine with the same hardware configurations. Extensive research into the mechanisms governing diesel combustion and emissions has already been reported2,3. The vast amount of investigation done in the diesel combustion and emissions still not well understood due to the complex interrelationships that exist between combustion system parameters and fuel injection system parameters. Taguchi developed multivariate experimental techniques4,5 using orthogonal design arrays that allow one to isolate the effect of a single parameter on a particular response charac

Volvo Penta Diesel Engine Information

Volvo Penta Diesel Engine Information Power down sequence To perform a power down the following sequence shall be performed: 1 Switch off the ignition 2 Send a stop request to the system. 3 When the power down sequence is finished the engine will stop communicating. Auto shutdown will power down the system if the ignition is switched off. Different length of time sequences are being used. (Running engine will continue to run until a stop request is sent to the system). External stop External stop is placed in the 8-pole connector on pin 6. Energized to STOP / RUN Default external stop function is set to Energized to STOP. To use the stop function as Energized to STOP, apply EMS supply voltage on Pin 6 to stop the engine. By option or changing a parameter it can be set to Energized to RUN. To use the stop function as Energized to RUN, Pin 6 needs EMS supply voltage for the engine to start and run. To stop the engine EMS supply voltage needs to be
