Tips for Volvo Diesel Engine Maintenance According to Marketing Department of the Italy-based Visa SpA one of the world ’ s leading gensets suppliers, dedicated to design, production, sales and rental of generating sets; some engines used in Stand-by generating set applications have had a few issues concerning diesel fuel. “ While the engine maintains its mechanical properties, it can give rise to problems related to the quality of diesel fuel. The chemical make-up of diesel fuel has changed in recent years; a certain percentage of biodiesel at low or high temperatures releases impurities, while a certain percentage of biodiesel at warm temperatures mixed with water (condensation) can be the cradle of bacterial proliferation. Besides, the reduction of Sulphur reduces lubrication, which eventually blocks the fuel-injection pumps. ” “ Moreover, by purchasing a genset,  it is important to know that a wide range of optional accessories are available that allow to extend m...

Volvo already has a strong electrification strategy With the launch of the 2019 V60 wagon, Volvo introduces a brand-new T6 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's essentially a less-powerful version of the larger T8 Twin Volvo Engine  system, and according to Volvo Cars' Senior Vice President Lex Kerssemakers, the T6 will quickly spread to the company's other models. "We strongly believe in electrification," Kerssemakers told Roadshow at the V60's debut this week in Stockholm, Sweden. "By reducing the horsepower you can reach a different price point. We hope that will further increase popularity." Indeed, while the T6 Twin Engine uses the same 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged gas engine, and the same 65-kilowatt electric motor as the T8, its final output ratings are 340 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque. The T8, meanwhile, makes 390 horsepower and 472 pound-feet. The difference in power simply comes from the tune of t...

Available Control Functions of Volvo Engine There are other possibilities than the VP status/pedal position message in order to control the Volvo engine speed. Torque speed control - TSC1 (0C 00 00 03/11/E6) The TSC1 message has priority over the pedal position that is sent with the VP status message. With the TSC1 message with source address 0x03, 0x11, 0xE6, the engine speed and torque can be continuously controlled. With the TSC1 message with the source address 0x11 it is possible to limit the available torque or speed from the Volvo engine . P0013959.jpg Figure 4: The yellow graph shows the available engine torque when the TSC1 signal sets to 80% in the torque limiting factor. The picture shows an example on how an engine would react when limiting the torque via the TSC1 message. Start battery test Whit the fuel disable request in the VP status message, it is possible to perform a start battery test. Special requirements with ...
