Starting the Engine

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) will

automatically provide the correct amount of fuel that

is necessary to start the engine. If the engine fails

to start in 30 seconds, the starter s witch should be

released. The starting motor should be allowed to

cool for 30 seconds before being used again.

Cold Mode Operation

The ECM will set the cold start strategy when the

coolant temperature is below 18 °C (64 °F).

Cold mode operation will be deactivated when any of

the following conditions have been met:

• Coolant temperature reaches 18 °C (64 °F).

• The engine has been running for fourteen minutes.


Cold mode operation varies the fuel injection amount

for white smoke cleanup. Cold mode operation also

varies the timing for white smoke cleanup. The

engine operating temperature is usually reached

before the walk-around inspec tion is completed.

The electronic control system is integrally designed

into the engine’s fuel system and the engine’s air

inlet and exhaust system in order to electronically

control the fuel delivery and the injection timing. The



Controls

Outputs



electronic control system provides increased timing

control and fuel air ratio control in comparison to

conventional mechanical engines. Injection timing

is achieved by prec ise control of injector firing time,

and engine rpm is controlled by adjus ting the firing

duration. The Electronic Control Module (ECM)

energizes the solenoid in the unit injector in order to

start the injection of fuel. Also, the ECM de-energizes

the unit injector solenoids in order to stop injection

of fuel. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing and

Adjusting, “Fuel System” for a c omplete explanation

of the fuel injec tion process.

The engine uses the following types of electronic

components:

• Inputs


An input component is one that sends an electrical

signal to the ECM. The signal that is sent varies in

one of the following ways:

• Voltage

• Frequency

• Pulse width

The variation of the signal is in response to a change

in some specific system of the vehicle. The ECM

sees the input sensor signal as information about the

condition, environment, or operation of the vehicle.



KENR6231

Operation Section


A c ontrol component (ECM) receives the input

signals. Electronic circuits inside the control

component evaluate the signals from the input

components. These electronic circuits also supply

electrical energy to the output components of the

system. The electrical energy that is supplied to

the output components is based on predetermined

combinations of input signal values.

An output component is one that is operated by a

control module. The output component receives

electrical energy from the control component. The

output component uses that electrical energy in one

of two ways. The output component can use that

electrical energy in order to perform work. The output

component can use that electrical energy in order to

provide information.

g01282152



The fuel supply circuit is a conventional design for

engines with electronic unit injection. A fuel tank (6)

is used to store the fuel prior to use by the engine. A

primary fuel filter/water separator (8) is placed into

the fuel supply circuit in order to remove large debris

from the fuel. This debris may have entered the

fuel tank during fueling. The debris may have also

entered the fuel tank through the vent for the fuel

tank. The primary filter element also separates water

from the fuel. The water is collected in the bowl at the

bottom of the primary fuel filter/water separator.


Note: The inlet fuel temperature to the fuel transfer

pump must not exceed 79 °C (175 °F) when the

engine has reached normal operating temperature.

Fuel temperatures above 79 °C (175 °F) will reduce

the life of the fuel transfer pump chec k valves. The

fuel efficiency and the engine power output are

reduced when the fuel temperature increases from

30 °C (86 °F) to 70 °C (158 °F).

Operation Section



Fuel from the tank (6) flows to the fuel filter base.

The fuel filter base contains the primary fuel filter

and the secondary fuel filter. The fuel flows through

cored passages in the fuel filter base. The fuel

priming pump (4) is mounted on the fuel filter base.

The fuel priming pump is used in order to manually

pump the fuel into the fuel system after the system,

or parts of the system have been drained. The fuel

priming pump is used in order to refill the fuel system

after air has been introduced into the system. For

more information on priming the fuel system, refer

to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Fuel

System - Prime”.

As the fuel flows through cored passages in the fuel

filter bas e, the fuel is directed into the primary fuel

filter (8). Fuel flows out of the fuel filter and returns

to the passages in the fuel filter base. Prior to exiting

the fuel filter base, the fuel temperature is sampled

by the fuel temperature sensor (10). The signals

that are generated by the sensors are used by the

engine control in order to monitor the condition of the

engine’s components.

The fuel flows from the fuel filter base to the fuel

transfer pump (9). The fuel transfer pump (9) is a gear

type pump with fixed clearances. The fuel transfer

pump (9) incorporates an internal relief valve that

protects the fuel system from extreme pressure. In

the case of extreme pressure, fuel is redirected back

to the inlet of the fuel transfer pump (9). An outlet

check valve is used in order to prevent pressurized

fuel leakage back through the pump. The fuel transfer

pump (9) is located in the front of the engine. The fuel

transfer pump (9) is driven by the front gear train.

The fuel flows from the fuel transfer pump (9) to the

secondary fuel filter (7). The fuel is filtered in order

to remove small abrasive particles that will cause

premature wear to fuel system components. The fuel

flows from the secondary fuel filter (7) to the fuel filter

base.

The fuel is then directed from the fuel filter base

through the fuel return line (1) to fuel manifold (3) that

runs the length of the cylinder head. A continuous

flow of fuel is supplied to the electronic unit injectors

(2) in order to perform the following tasks:

• Supply fuel for injection

• Remove excessive heat from the injectors.

• Remove air that may accumulate in the fuel

system.


g00451841

 
The fuel exits the fuel gallery and returns to the fuel

filter base. A pressure regulating valve is located in

the fuel filter base. The pressure regulating valve

regulates the pressure for the fuel system. A sufficient

amount of back pressure is maintained in the system

in order to ensure a continuous availability of fuel to

the electronic unit injectors. The fuel flows from the

fuel filter base to the fuel cooler (5). The fuel flows

from the fuel cooler (5) back to the tank (6).

The injection pump, the fuel lines, and the nozz les

that are used in the traditional Perkins diesel engines

hav e been replaced with an electronically controlled,

mechanically actuated electronic unit injector in each

cylinder. A solenoid on each injector controls the

amount of fuel that is delivered by the injector. An

Electronic Control Module (ECM) sends a signal to

eac h injector solenoid in order to provide complete

control of the engine.



10

Systems Operation Section


KENR6231



Fuel Injection

The ECM controls the amount of fuel that is injected

by varying the signals that are sent to the injectors.

The ECM s ends a high voltage signal to the solenoid

in order to energize the solenoid. The injec tors

will inject fuel only while the injector solenoid is

energized. By controlling the timing and the duration

of the voltage signal, the ECM can control injection

timing and the amount of fuel that is injected.

The ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel that

can be injected. “FRC” is a limit which controls the

amount of air and of fuel for the purpose of emission

control. This limit is based on the boost pressure.

When the ECM senses a higher boost pressure, the

ECM increases the “FRC” limit. “Rated Fuel Pos” is

a limit that is based on the horsepower rating of the

engine. This is similar to the rack stops and to the

torque spring on a mechanically governed engine.

“Rated Fuel Pos” provides horsepower and torque

curves for a specific engine family and for a specific

engine rating. All of these limits are programmed into

the personality module by the fac tory. These limits

are not programmable by the service technician.

Injection timing depends on three factors: the engine

speed (rpm), the engine load, and the operational

conditions of the engine. The ECM determines the

top center position of No. 1 cylinder from the signal

that is provided by the engine speed/timing sensor.

The ECM decides when the injection should occur

relative to the top center position. The ECM then

provides the signal to the electronic unit injector at

the desired time.

The electronic unit injector mechanism provides

the downward force that is required to pressurize

the fuel in the electronic unit injector pump. The

electronic unit injector (1) allows fuel to be injected

into the combustion chamber with precise timing.

Movement is transmitted from the camshaft lobe (4)

for the electronic unit injector through the rocker arm

assembly (3) to the top of the electronic unit injector.

The adjusting nut (2) allows the injector lash to be

adjusted. For the proper setting of the injector lash,

refer to the topic on adjustment of the electronic unit

injector in Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,

“Electronic Unit Injector - Adjust”.

Electronic Unit Injector

Illustration 7

Electronic unit injector

(1) Spring


g00984466


As the electronic unit injector mechanism transfers

the force to the top of the electronic unit injector,

spring (1) is compressed and plunger (4) is driven

downward. This ac tion displaces fuel through the

valve in solenoid valve assembly (3), and into the

return manifold to the fuel tank. As the plunger trav els

downward, the passage in barrel (5) is closed by the

outside diameter of the plunger. The passages within

body (10) and along check valve (11) to the injector

tip already contain fuel for injection. After the passage

in the plunger barrel is closed, the injector is ready for

injection at any time. The start of injection relies on

the software in the Electronic Control Module (ECM).

When the solenoid valve assembly is energized

from a signal across solenoid connection (2), the

valve closes and fuel pressure is elevated in the

injector tip. Injection begins at 34500 ± 1900 kPa

(5000 ± 275 psi) as the force of spring (8) above

spacer (9) is overcome. The check valve begins

to lift from the valve seat. The pressure continues

to rise as the plunger cycles through a full stroke.

After the correct amount of fuel has been disc harged

into the cylinder, the ECM removes the signal to the

solenoid connection. The solenoid valve assembly

is de-energized and the valve in the solenoid valve

assembly is opened. The high pressure fuel is then

dumped through the spill port and into the fuel return

manifold. The fuel is then returned to the fuel tank.

The check valve in the injector tip seats as the

pressure in the tip decreases.

The duration of injection meters the fuel that is

consumed during the fuel injection process. Injection

duration is controlled by the governor logic that is

programmed into the ECM.

As the camshaft lobe rotates past the point of

maximum lobe lift, the force on top of the electronic

unit injector is removed and the spring for the injector

mechanism is allowed to expand. The plunger returns

to the original position. This uncovers the fuel supply

pas sage into the plunger barrel in order to refill the

injector pump body. The fuel at low pressure is again

allowed to circulate through the fuel injector body.

After circulating through the fuel injector body, the

fuel flows out of the spill port. This continues until the

solenoid valve assembly is re-energized for another

injection cycle.

Air Inlet and Exhaust System


Air is forced from the aftercooler into inlet manifold

(1). The air flow from the inlet port into the cylinders

is controlled by inlet valves .

g00615497


The engine components of the air inlet and exhaust

system control the quality of air and the amount of

air that is available for combustion. The components

of the air inlet and exhaust system are the following

components:

• Air cleaner

• Turbocharger

• Aftercooler

• Cylinder head

• Valves and valve system components

• Piston and cylinder

• Exhaust manifold

The turbocharger compressor wheel pulls inlet air

through the air cleaner and into the air inlet. The air

is compressed and this causes the air to become hot.

The air flows through aftercooler core (2) and the

temperature of the compressed air lowers. This helps

to provide increased horsepower output. Aftercooler

core (2) is a separate cooler core that is mounted in

front of the engine radiator. The engine fan causes

ambient air to move across both cores. This cools the

turbocharged inlet air and the engine coolant.


Each cylinder has two inlet valves (10) and two

exhaust valves (9) in the cylinder head. The inlet

valves open on the inlet stroke. When the inlet valves

open, compressed air from the inlet port within the

inlet manifold is pushed into the cylinder. The inlet

valves c lose when the piston begins the compression

stroke. The air in the cylinder is compressed and the

fuel is injected into the cylinder when the piston is

near the top of the compression stroke. Combustion

begins when the fuel mixes with the air. The force of

combus tion pushes the piston on the power stroke.

The exhaust valves open and the exhaust gases

are pushed through the ex haust port into exhaust

manifold (8). After the piston finishes the exhaust

stroke, the exhaust valves close and the cycle begins

again.

Exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold flow

into the turbine side of turbocharger (5). The high

temperature exhaust gases cause the turbocharger

turbine wheel to turn. The turbine wheel is connected

to the shaft that drives the compressor wheel.

Exhaust gases from the turbocharger pass through

exhaust outlet (4), through a muffler, and through an

exhaust stack.

(14) Exhaust inlet

Turbocharger (3) is mounted to exhaust manifold (2)

of the engine. All of the exhaust gases go from the

exhaust manifold through the turbocharger.

The exhaust gases enter the turbocharger and the

turbine wheel is turned. Because the turbocharger

turbine wheel is connected by a shaft to the

turbocharger compres sor wheel, the turbine wheel

and the compressor wheel turn at very high speeds.

The rotation of the compressor wheel pulls clean

air through the compressor housing air inlet. The

action of the compressor wheel blades causes a

compression of the inlet air. This compression allows

a larger amount of air to enter the engine. With more

air in the engine, the engine is able to burn more fuel.

The overall effect is an increase in power.

Bearing (7) and bearing (9) in the turbocharger use

engine oil that is under pressure for lubrication. The

lubrication for the bearings flows through oil inlet port

(8) and into the inlet port in the center section of the

turbocharger cartridge. The oil exits the turbocharger

through oil outlet port (13). The oil then returns to

the engine oil pan through the oil drain line for the

turbocharger.


The valves and the valve mechanism control the flow

of inlet air into the c ylinders during engine operation.

The valves and the valve mechanism control the flow

of exhaust gases out of the cylinders during engine

operation.

Systems Operation Section


KENR6231


Rotocoils (4) cause the valves to rotate while the

engine is running. Valve rotation provides a longer

service life. Valve rotation also minimizes carbon

deposits on the valves.

Adjustable idler gear (10) is designed to provide the

required gear backlash between nonadjustable idler

gear (11) and camshaft gear (9). If the cylinder head is

removed, tolerances of the components will change.

The components that change are the cylinder head

and the head gasket. The adjustable idler gear must

be relocated. For information on setting the correct

bac klash, refer to Systems Operation, Tes ting and

Adjusting, “Gear Group (Front) - Time”.

The camshaft drive gear has integral pendulums

which act as a vibration damper for the front gear

group. These pendulums are designed to counteract

the torsional forces from the injector pulses. This

eliminates vibration and noise. The engine also runs

smoother at all operating speeds.

g01033757


Lubrication System Components

The lubrication system has the following components:

• Oil pan

• Oil pump

• Oil cooler



The inlet valves and the exhaust valves are opened

by the valve mechanism. The inlet valves and

the exhaust valves are also closed by the valve

mechanism. This occurs as the rotation of the

crankshaft causes camshaft (3) to rotate. Camshaft

gear (9) is driven by a series of two idler gears (10)

and (11). Idler gear (11) is driven by cluster gear (13).

Cluster gear (13) is driven by crankshaft gear (14).

Timing mark (12) and timing mark (8) are aligned in

order to provide the correct relationship between the

piston and the valve movement.

The camshaft has three lobes for each cylinder.

One lobe operates the inlet valves. A second lobe

operates the exhaust valves. The third lobe operates

the unit injector mechanism. The camshaft lobes turn

and the rocker arms move. Movement of the rocker

arms will make the inlet and ex haust valve bridges

move. These bridges allow one rocker arm to actuate

two valves at the same time. Each cylinder has two

inlet valves and two exhaust valves. Each valve has

one valve spring (5). The spring closes the valve.

(11) Bypass valve for the oil pump

When the engine is warm, oil is drawn from the oil

pan (6) through the suc tion lines (9) to the oil pump

(7). The oil pump pushes the hot oil through the oil

cooler (10). The oil is then sent to the oil filter (4).

Oil from the oil filter is sent to the oil manifold (1) in

the cylinder block and to the oil supply line (2) for the

turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger goes back

through the oil return line (3) to the oil pan.


When the engine is cold, oil is drawn from the oil

pan (6) through the suction lines (9) to the oil pump

(7). When the oil is cold, an oil pressure differential

in the bypass valves causes the bypass valves to

open. These bypass valves then provide immediate

lubrication to all of the engine components when cold

oil with high viscosity causes a restriction to oil flow

through the oil cooler (10) and the oil filter (4). The oil

pump then pushes the cold oil through the bypass

valve (8) for the oil cooler and through the bypass

valve (5) for the oil filter. The oil then goes to the oil

manifold (1) in the cylinder block and to the supply

line (2) for the turbocharger. Oil from the turbocharger

goes back through the oil return line (3) to the oil pan.

When the oil is warm, an oil press ure differential in

the bypass valves also causes the bypass valves to

close. There is normal oil flow through the oil cooler

and the oil filter.

The by pass valves will also open when there is

a restriction in the oil cooler or the oil filter. This

prevents a restricted oil filter or a res tricted oil cooler

from stopping the lubrication of the engine. The

system pressure is limited by the oil pump bypass

valve (11).

g00431790



The oil from the oil manifold (7) is sent under

pressure through drilled passages to the crankshaft

main bearings (9). The oil flows through drilled holes

in the crankshaft. This oil lubricates the connecting

rod bearings. A small amount of oil is sent to the

piston cooling jets (8). The piston cooling jets spray

oil on the underside of the pistons.

Oil flows through passages in the timing gear housing

and the accessory drive gear. This oil flows to the air

compressor through the oil passage (2).

Oil passage (4) prov ides oil to the adjustable idler

gear. Oil passage (5) provides oil to the fixed idler

gear. Oil passage (6) provides oil to the cluster gear.

The oil flows through a passage in the shafts of the

gears.

There is a pressure control valve in the oil pump.

This valve controls the pressure of the oil that flows

from the oil pump.

Oil passage (9) provides lubrication to the rear

crankshaft seal. This ensures a long service life for

the rear crankshaft seal.


Oil flows into the cylinder head via a hollow locating

dowel in the top deck of the cylinder block. Oil trav els

to the camshaft bearing journals (3) and the three

center rocker arm shaft supports through drilled

passages in the cylinder head. The supports supply

oil to each rocker shaft. Oil flows to the bushings of

the fuel injec tor rocker arm through holes in the rocker

arm s haft (1). This same oil lubricates the valve and

the rollers. Oil flows through drilled passages in the

rocker arms. This oil lubricates the roller, the valve

bridge and the contact surfaces of the actuator of the

unit injector. Splash oil lubrication is used to lubricate

other components of the valve system.

Excess oil returns to the engine oil pan.

A pressure type cooling system gives two

advantages. First, the cooling system can be

operated safely at a temperature that is higher than

the boiling point of water. Next, cavitation in the water

pump is prevented. It is more difficult for air or steam

pockets to be made in the cooling system.

Note: Use Perkins ELC in an Air-To-Air Aftercooler

system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,

“Fluid Recommendations” for more information. This

keeps the temperature range of the coolant high

enough for efficient performance.

(8) Water pump

(9) Cylinder block

(10) Oil cooler

(11) Inlet pipe

(12) Radiator

In operation, the water pump (8) sends most of the

coolant from the radiator (12) to the oil cooler (10).

The coolant from the oil cooler (10) goes into the

cylinder block (9) through a bonnet and an elbow.

The coolant goes around the cylinder liners, through

the water directors and into the cylinder head.

The water directors send the flow of coolant around

the valves and the passages for exhaust gases in the

cylinder head. The coolant then goes to the front of

the cylinder head. At this point, water temperature

regulator (2) controls the direction of coolant flow.


The water temperature regulator (2) is c losed when

the engine is cold. The coolant flows through the

regulator housing and pipe (7) back to water pump

(8).

If the coolant is at normal operating temperature,

the water temperature regulator (2) opens and the

coolant flows to the radiator (12) through the outlet

pipe (3). The coolant becomes cooler as the coolant

moves through the radiator. When the coolant gets to

the bottom of the radiator, the coolant goes through

the inlet pipe (11) and into the water pump (8).

Note: The water temperature regulator (2) is an

important part of the cooling system. The water

temperature regulator (2) divides the coolant flow

between the radiator (12) and the bypass pipe (7).

This will maintain the correct temperature. If the

water temperature regulator is not installed in the

system, there is no mechanical control. Most of the

coolant will go through the bypass. This will cause

the engine to overheat in hot weather. If a higher

volume of c oolant goes through the radiator, the

engine will not reach normal operating temperatures.

This occurs during cold weather.

Shunt line (6) gives several advantages to the c ooling

system. The shunt line gives a positiv e coolant

pressure at the water pump inlet that prev ents pump

cavitation. A small flow of coolant constantly goes

through shunt line (6) to the inlet of water pump

(8). This causes a small amount of coolant to move

constantly through the vent tube (5). The flow through

the vent tube is small and the volume of the upper

compartment is large. Air in the coolant is removed

as the coolant goes into the upper compartment.

The vent line is used to fill the cooling system with

coolant for the first time. This will purge any air out of

the top of a bottom filled system.

Basic Engine

Cylinder Block Assembly

Passages supply the lubrication for the crankshaft

bearings and the piston crowns. These passages

are cast into the cylinder block. Oil is supplied to the

pas sages by the cylinder block’s oil manifold.

The cylinder liner is an induction hardened liner. A

steel spacer plate provides improved reusability and

durability.

Systems Operation Section


KENR6231



Cylinder Head Assembly

The cylinder head is a one-piece cast iron head. The

cylinder head supports the camshaft. Steel reinforced

bearings are pressed into each bore. The bearings

are lubricated under pressure. Bridge dowels have

been eliminated as the valve train uses floating valve

bridges.

Thermal efficiency is enhanced by the use of

stainless steel thermal sleeves in each exhaust port.

The sleeves reduce the amount of heat rejection to

the cooling system. The sleeves then transfer the

thermal energy to the turbocharger.

The unit injector is mounted in a stainless steel

adapter. This adapter has been pressed into the

cylinder head injector bore.

Pistons, Rings And Connecting

Rods

The piston is a one-piece steel design that is retained

by the piston pin to the small end of the connecting

rod. The pistons have three rings that are located

in grooves in the steel crown. These rings seal the

combustion gas . The rings provide control of the oil.

The top ring has a barrel face. The second ring has

a tapered face and the ring has a coating of chrome

finish for the face. The third ring is the oil ring. The

third ring has a coil spring expander.

The connecting rod is a conventional design. The

cap of the connecting rod is attached to the shank by

two bolts that are threaded into the shank. Each side

of the small end of the connecting rod is machined

at an angle of 12 degrees in order to fit within the

piston cavity.

Crankshaft

The crankshaft converts the combustion force in the

cylinder into rotating torque. A v ibration damper is

used at the front of the crankshaft in order to reduce

the torsional vibrations.

The crankshaft drives a group of gears (front gear

train) on the front of the engine. The front gear

train provides power for the following components:

camshaft, water pump, oil pump, fuel transfer

pump, and accessory items that are specific to the

applic ation.

The cylinder block has seven main bearings that

support the crankshaft. The cylinder block uses two

bolts to hold each of the bearing caps to the block.

The crankcase uses a lip seal at both ends of the

crankshaft.


Camshaft

The camshaft has three lobes at each cylinder.

These lobes allow the camshaft to operate the unit

injector, the exhaust valves, and the inlet valves. The

camshaft is supported in the cylinder head by s even

journals which are fit with bearings. The camshaft

gear contains integral roller dampers that counteract

the torsional vibrations that are generated by the

high fuel pressure during fuel injector operation. The

des ign reduces gear train noise. The camshaft is

driven by an adjustable idler gear which is turned by

a fixed idler gear which is turned by a cluster idler

gear in the front gear train. Each bearing journal is

lubricated from the oil manifold in the cylinder head.

A thrust plate that is located at the front controls the

end play of the camshaft. Timing of the camshaft is

accomplished by aligning marks on the crankshaft

gear and idler gear, and camshaft gear with a mark

on the front timing plate.

Electrical System

Grounding Practices

Proper grounding for the machine electrical sy stem

and engine electrical systems is necessary for

proper machine performance and reliability. Improper

grounding will res ult in uncontrolled electrical circuit

paths and unreliable electrical circuit paths.

Uncontrolled engine electrical circuit paths can result

in damage to main bearings, crankshaft bearing

journal surfaces, and aluminum components.

To ensure proper functioning of the vehicle and

engine electrical systems, an engine-to-frame ground

strap with a direct path to the negative battery post

must be used. This may be provided by way of a

starting motor ground, a frame to starting motor

ground, or a direct frame to engine ground.

An engine-to-frame ground strap must be used in

order to connect the grounding stud of the engine to

the frame of the vehicle and to the negative battery

post.

NOTICE

When boost starting an engine, the instructions in Op-

eration and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Starting”

should be followed in order to properly start the en-

gine.

This engine is equipped with a 24 volt starting system.

Only equal voltage for boost starting should be used.

The use of a higher voltage will damage the electrical

system.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) must be dis-

connected at the “J1/P1” and “J2/P2” locations before

welding on the vehicle.

The engine has several input components which are

electronic. These components require an operating

voltage.

Unlike many electronic systems of the past, this

engine is tolerant to common external sources of

electrical noise. Buzzers that use electrical energy

can cause disruptions in the power supply. If buzz ers

are used anywhere on the machine, the engine

electronics should be powered directly from the

battery system through a dedicated relay. The engine

electronics should not be powered through a common

power bus with other keyswitch activated devices.

Engine Electrical System

The electrical system has the following separate

circuits :

• Charging

• Starting (If equipped)

• Accessories with low amperage

The charging circuit is in operation when the engine

is running. An alternator makes electricity for the


The engine must have a wire ground to the battery.

Ground wires or ground straps should be combined

at ground studs that are only for ground use. All of

the grounds should be tight and free of corros ion.

All of the ground paths must be capable of carrying

any likely current faults. An AWG #0 or larger wire is

recommended for the grounding strap to the cylinder

head.

The engine alternator should be battery ground

with a wire size that is capable of managing the full

charging current of the alternator.


charging circuit. A voltage regulator in the circuit

controls the electrical output in order to keep the

battery at full charge.

The starting circuit is activated only when the start

switch is activated.

Charging System Components

Alternator

The alternator is driven by a belt from the cranks haft

pulley. This alternator is a three-phase, self-rectifying

charging unit, and the regulator is part of the

alternator.



20

Systems Operation Section


KENR6231



The alternator design has no need for s lip rings

and the only part that has movement is the rotor

assembly. All conductors that carry current are

stationary. The following conductors are in the circuit:

• Field winding

• Stator windings

• Six rectifying diodes

• Regulator circuit components

The rotor assembly has many magnetic poles that

look like fingers with air space between each of the

opposite poles. The poles have residual magnetism.

The residual magnetism produces a small magnetic

field between the poles. As the rotor as sembly

begins to turn between the field winding and the

stator windings, a small amount of alternating current

(AC) is produced. The AC current is produced in the

stator windings from the small magnetic field. The

AC current is changed to direct current (DC) when

the AC current passes through the diodes of the

rectifier bridge. The current is used for the following

applications:

• Charging the battery

• Supplying the accessory circuit that has the low

amperage

• Strengthening the magnetic field

The first two applications use the majority of the

current. As the DC current increases through the

field windings, the s trength of the magnetic field is

increased. As the magnetic field becomes stronger,

more AC current is produced in the stator windings.

The increased speed of the rotor assembly also

increases the current and voltage output of the

alternator.

The voltage regulator is a solid-state electronic

switch. The voltage regulator senses the voltage in

the system. The voltage regulator switches ON and

OFF many times per second in order to control the

field current for the alternator. The alternator uses

the field current in order to generate the required

voltage output.

NOTICE

Never operate the alternator without the battery in the

circuit. Making or breaking an alternator connection

with heavy load on the circuit can cause damage to

the regulator.

When two sets of solenoid windings are used, the

windings are called the hold-in winding and the

pull-in winding. Both sets of windings have the same

number of turns around the cylinder, but the pull-in

winding uses a wire with a larger diameter. The wire

with a larger diameter produces a greater magnetic

field (1). When the start switch is closed, part of the

current flows from the battery through the hold-in

windings. The rest of the current flows through the

pull-in windings to the motor terminal. The current

then flows through the motor to ground. Solenoid

(2)is fully activated when the connection across the

battery and the motor terminal is complete. When

solenoid (2) is fully activated, the current is shut

off through the pull-in windings. At this point, only

the smaller hold-in windings are in operation. The

hold-in windings operate for the duration of time that

is required in order to start the engine. Solenoid (2)

will now draw less current from the battery, and the

heat that is generated by solenoid (2) will be kept at

an acceptable level.


The starting solenoid (2) is an electromagnetic s witch

that performs the following basic operations:

• The starting solenoid (2) closes the high current

starting motor circuit with a low current start switch

circuit.

• The starting solenoid (2) engages the pinion of the

starting motor (4) with the ring gear.

Solenoid (2) has windings (one or two sets) around

a hollow cylinder. A plunger that is spring loaded is

inside the cylinder. The plunger can move forward

and backward. When the start switch is closed and

electricity is sent through the windings, a magnetic

field (1) is made. The magnetic field (1) pulls the

plunger forward in the cylinder. This moves the shift

lever in order to engage the pinion drive gear with the

ring gear. The front end of the plunger then makes

contact across the battery and motor terminals of

solenoid (2). Next, the starting motor begins to turn

the flywheel of the engine.

When the start switch is opened, current no longer

flows through the windings. The spring now pushes

the plunger back to the original position. At the same

time, the spring moves the pinion gear away from

the flywheel.

Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking.

Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel

in the sight gauge, prime the fuel system. Refer to

System Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Fuel

System - Prime” for more information. If the engine

starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine

speeds. When possible, operate the engine under

the conditions which have been suspect of air in

the fuel.

Illustration 22

(1) A steady stream of s mall bubbles with a diameter of

approximately 1.60 mm (0.063 inch) is an acceptable amount

of air in the fuel.

(2) Bubbles with a diameter of approximately 6.35 mm (0.250 inch)

are also acceptable if there is two sec onds to three seconds

intervals between bubbles.

(3) Excessive air bubbles in the fuel are not acceptable.

NOTICE

Use a suitable container to c atch any fuel that might

spill. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately.



Ensure that all adjustments and repairs are performed

by authorized personnel that have had the correct

training.

Use the following procedure to test for problems

regarding fuel quality:

1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are

present in the fuel. Check the water separator (if

equipped). If a water separator is not present,

proceed to Step 2. Drain the water separator, if

neces sary. A full fuel tank minimizes the potential

for overnight condensation.

Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel

when the water separator is actually full of water.

2. Determine if contaminants are present in the

fuel. Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom

of the fuel tank. Visually inspect the fuel sample

for contaminants. The color of the fuel is not

necessarily an indication of fuel quality. However,

fuel that is black, brown, and/or similar to sludge

can be an indication of the growth of bacteria or

oil contamination. In cold temperatures, cloudy

fuel indicates that the fuel may not be suitable for

operating conditions.


NOTICE

Do not allow dirt to enter the fuel system. Thoroughly

clean the area around a fuel system component that

will be disconnected. Fit a suitable cover over discon-

nec ted fuel system component.

Note: This procedure is most common when the

engine has run out of fuel.

1. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position.

2. Fill the fuel tank(s) with clean diesel fuel.

(Blowby) - Test

Table 10

Damaged pistons or rings can cause too much

pressure in the crankcase. This condition will cause

the engine to run rough. There will be more than the

normal amount of fumes (blowby) rising from the

crankcase breather. The breather can then become

restricted in a very short time, causing oil leakage

at gaskets and seals that would not normally have

leakage. Blowby can also be caused by worn valve

guides or by a failed turbocharger seal.

Install Tooling (A) to the most convenient location on

the output tube for the crankcase breather or the

breather hose. The pressure for the engine blowby

should be 0.25 kPa (1 inch of H2O).

Note: Do not use the data alone to determine if the

engine should be overhauled. Other indicators such

as high oil consumption, low power, hard starting,

and excessive fuel cons umption must be considered.

After a new engine is used for a short time, the

blowby can decrease as the rings are seated. New

engines should be checked for blowby during all

maintenance checks. As the piston rings and cylinder

walls wear, the blowby will gradually increase.

The blowby on a worn engine may be two times or

more than the blowby of a new engine and may

indicate the need for an overhaul.

have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the

engine components. If the engine oil level is low

add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine

oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance

NOTICE

Perkins oil filters are manufactured to Perkins speci-

fications. Use of an oil filter that is not recommended

by Perkins c ould result in severe damage to the en-

gine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger

waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine

lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended

by Perkins.

3. If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the

open position, a reduc tion in the oil pressure can

be the result. This may be due to debris in the

engine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are

stuck in the open position, remove each engine

oil by pass valve and clean each bypass valve

in order to correct this problem. You must also

clean each bypass valve bore. Install new engine

oil filters. New engine oil filters will prevent more

debris from causing this problem. For information

on the repair of the engine oil bypass valves, refer

to Disassembly and Assembly, “Engine Oil Filter

Base - Disassemble”.

4. An oil line or an oil passage that is open, broken,

or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure.

An open lubrication system could be caused by

a piston cooling jet that is missing or damaged.

Determine the reason for an open lubrication

system of the engine and make the necessary

repairs.

Note: The piston cooling jets direct engine oil toward

the bottom of the piston in order to cool the piston.

This also provides lubrication for the piston pin.

Breakage, a restriction or incorrect installation of the

piston cooling jets will cause seizure of the piston.

5. The inlet screen of the oil pickup tube for the

engine oil pump can have a restriction. This

restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of

engine oil pres sure. Check the inlet screen on

the oil pickup tube and remove any material that

may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil

pressure may also be the result of the oil pickup

tube that is drawing in air. Check the joints of the

oil pickup tube for cracks or a damaged O-ring

seal. Remove the engine oil pan in order to gain

access to the oil pickup tube and the oil screen.

Engine oil pressure will be high if the engine oil

bypass valves become stuck in the closed position

and the engine oil flow is restricted. Foreign matter

in the engine oil system could be the cause for the

restriction of the oil flow and the movement of the

engine oil bypass valves. If the engine oil bypass

valves are stuck in the closed position, remove

each bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in

order to correct this problem. You must also clean

each bypass valve bore. Install new engine oil

filters. New engine oil filters will prevent more debris

from causing this problem. For information on the

repair of the engine oil filter bypass valve, refer to

Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the

crankshaft. Look for leak age at the gasket for the

engine oil pan and all lubrication system connections.

Look for any engine oil that may be leaking from

the crankcase breather. This can be caused by

combus tion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty

crankcase breather will cause high pressure in the

crankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause the

gaskets and the seals to leak.

Engine  Oil  Leaks  into  the

Combustion Area of the Cylinders

Engine oil that is leaking into the combustion area of

the cylinders can be the cause of blue s moke. There

are several possible way s for engine oil to leak into

the combustion area of the c ylinders:

• Leaks between worn valve guides and valve stems

Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or

the intermediate ring

Leaks past the seal rings in the turbocharger shaft

Overfilling of the crankcase

Wrong dipstick or guide tube


Excessive consumption of engine oil can also

result if engine oil with the wrong viscosity is used.

Engine oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by fuel

leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine

(Overheating)

Above normal coolant temperatures can be caused

by many conditions. Use the following procedure

to determine the cause of above normal coolant

temperatures:

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid un-

der pressure.

If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator,

push the release valve in order to relieve pressure

before removing any hose from the radiator.

1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system.

Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,

“Cooling System Coolant Level - Check”. If the

coolant level is too low, air will get into the cooling

system. Air in the cooling system will cause a

reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the

coolant. Air bubbles will keep coolant away from

the engine parts, which will prevent the transfer of

heat to the coolant. Low coolant level is caused by

leaks or incorrectly filling the radiator.

2. Check the mixture of antifreeze and water. Refer

to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid

Recommendations”. If the coolant mixture is

incorrect, drain the s ystem. Put the correct mixture

of water, antifreeze and coolant conditioner in the

cooling system.

3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter

the cooling system in different ways. The most

common causes of air in the cooling system

are not filling the cooling system correctly and

combustion gas leakage into the cooling system.

Combustion gas can get into the system through

ins ide cracks, a damaged cylinder head, or a

damaged cylinder head , ga, sket. Air in the c ooling

system c auses a reduction in coolant flow and

bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles keep coolant

away from the engine parts, which prevents the

transfer of heat to the coolant.

4. Check the water temperature gauge. A water

temperature gauge which does not work correctly

will not show the correct temperature. Refer

to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,

“Cooling System - Inspect”.

out, the gauge can show an incorrect reading.

Check the radiator.

a. Check the radiator for a restriction to coolant

flow. Check the radiator for debris, dirt, or

deposits on the inside of the radiator core.

Debris, dirt, or deposits will restrict the flow of

coolant through the radiator.

b. Check for debris or damage between the fins

of the radiator core. Debris between the fins

of the radiator core restricts air flow through

the radiator core. Refer to Systems Operation,

Testing and Adjusting, “Cooling System -

Inspect”.

c. Ensure that the radiator size is adequate for

the application. An undersized radiator does

not have enough area for the effective release

of heat. This may cause the engine to run

at a temperature that is higher than normal.

The normal temperature is dependent on the

ambient temperature.

Check the filler c ap. A pressure drop in the

radiator can cause the boiling point to be lower.

This can cause the cooling system to boil. Refer

to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,

“Cooling System - Tes t”.

Check the fan and/or the fan shroud.

a. The fan must be large enough to send air

through most of the area of the radiator core.

Ensure that the size of the fan and the position

of the fan are adequate for the application.

b. The fan shroud must be the proper size and

the fan shroud must be positioned correctly.

Ensure that the size of the fan shroud and the

position of the fan shroud are adequate for the

application.

If the fan is belt driven, check for loose drive belts .

A loose fan drive belt will cause a reduction in the

air flow across the radiator. Check the fan drive

belt for proper belt tension. Adjust the tension of

the fan drive belt, if necessary. Refer to Sys tems

Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Belt Tension

Chart”.



42

Testing and Adjusting Section


KENR6231



10. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps.

Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen.

Hoses that have no visual leak s can soften during

operation. The soft areas of the hose can become

kinked or crushed during operation. These areas

of the hose can cause a restriction in the coolant

flow. Hoses become soft and/or get cracks

after a period of time. The inside of a hose can

deteriorate, and the loose particles of the hose

can cause a restriction of the coolant flow. Refer

to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Hoses

and Clamps - Inspect/Replace”.

11. Check for a restriction in the air inlet system.

A restriction of the air that is coming into the

engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.

High cy linder temperatures cause higher than

normal temperatures in the cooling system. Refer

to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Air

Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect”.

a. If the measured restriction is higher than the

maximum permissible restriction, remove the

foreign material from the engine air cleaner

element or install a new engine air cleaner

element. Refer to Operation and Maintenance

Manual, “Engine Air Cleaner Element -

Clean/Replace”.

b. Check for a restriction in the air inlet system

again.

c. If the measured restriction is still higher than

the maximum permissible restriction, check the

air inlet piping for a restriction.

12. Check for a restriction in the exhaust system.

A restriction of the air that is coming out of the

engine can cause high cylinder temperatures.

a. Make a visual inspection of the exhaust system.

Check for damage to exhaust piping or for a

damaged muffler. If no damage is found, check

the exhaust system for a restriction. Refer to

Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Air

Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect”.

b. If the measured restriction is higher than the

maximum permissible restriction, there is a

restriction in the exhaust system. Repair the

exhaust system, as required.

13. Check the shunt line, if the shunt system is

used. The shunt line must be submerged in the

expansion tank. A restriction of the shunt line

from the radiator top tank to the engine water

pump inlet will cause a reduction in water pump

efficiency. A reduction in water pump efficiency

will result in low coolant flow and overheating.


14. Chec k the water temperature regulator. A water

temperature regulator that does not open, or

a water temperature regulator that only opens

part of the way can cause overheating. Refer to

Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “Water

Temperature Regulator - Test”.

15. Check the water pump. A water pump with a

damaged impeller does not pump enough coolant

for correct engine cooling. Remove the water

pump and check for damage to the impeller. Refer

to Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,

“Water Pump - Test”.

16. Chec k the air flow through the engine

compartment. The air flow through the radiator

comes out of the engine compartment. Ensure

that the filters, air conditioner, and similar items

are not installed in a way that prevents the free

flow of air through the engine compartment.

17. Chec k the aftercooler. A restriction of air flow

through the air to air aftercooler (if equipped) can

cause overheating. Check for debris or deposits

which would prevent the free flow of air through

the aftercooler.

18. Cons ider high outside temperatures. When

outside temperatures are too high for the rating

of the cooling system, there is not enough of a

temperature difference between the outside air

and coolant temperatures.

19. Cons ider high altitude operation. The cooling

capacity of the cooling system goes down as

the engine is operated at higher altitudes. A

pressurized cooling s ystem that is large enough to

keep the coolant from boiling must be used.

i02553378

Cooling System - Inspect

Cooling systems that are not regularly inspected are

the cause for increased engine temperatures. Make

a visual inspection of the cooling system before any

tests are performed.

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid un-

der pressure.

If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator,

push the release valve in order to relieve pressure

before removing any hose from the radiator.

Check the coolant level in the cooling system.

Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,

“Cooling System Coolant Level - Check”.

Check the quality of the coolant. The coolant

should have the following properties:

• Color that is similar to new coolant

• Odor that is similar to new coolant

• Free from dirt and debris

If the coolant does not have these properties,

drain the sy stem and flush the system. Refill

the cooling system with the correct mixture of

water, antifreeze, and coolant conditioner. Refer

to Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Fluid

Recommendations”.

Look for leak s in the system.


Remember that temperature and pressure work

together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling

system problem, temperature and pressure must be

checked. Cooling system pressure will have an effec t

on the cooling system temperature. For an example,


Note: A small amount of coolant leak age across

the surfac e of the water pump seals is normal. This

leakage is required in order to provide lubrication for

this type of seal. A hole is provided in the water pump

housing in order to allow this coolant/seal lubric ant

to drain from the pump housing. Intermittent leakage

of small amounts of coolant from this hole is not an

indication of water pump seal failure.

4. Ensure that the air flow through the radiator does

not have a restriction. Look for bent core fins

between the folded cores of the radiator. Also, look

for debris between the folded cores of the radiator.

5. Inspect the drive belts for the fan.

6. Check for damage to the fan blades.

7. Look for air or combustion gas in the cooling

system.

8. Inspect the filler cap, and check the surface that

seals the filler cap. This surface must be clean.

i02553379

Cooling System - Test

This engine has a pres sure type cooling system. A

pressure type cooling system has two advantages.

The cooling system can be operated in a safe manner

at a temperature higher than the normal boiling point

(steam) of water.

This type of system prevents cavitation in the water

pump. Cavitation is the forming of low pressure

bubbles in liquids that are caused by mechanical

forces. It is difficult to create a pocket of air in this

type of cooling system.


refer to Illustration 35. This will show the effect of

pressure on the boiling point (steam) of water. This

will also show the effect of height above s ea level.

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam

and alkali.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot

and under  pressure. The radiator and all lines

to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or

steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.

Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only

when engine is stopped and radiator cap is cool

enough to touch with your bare hand.

Cooling System Conditioner contains alkali. Avoid

contact with skin and eyes.

The coolant level must be to the correct level in order

to check the coolant sys tem. The engine must be

cold and the engine must not be running.

After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap

in order to relieve the pressure out of the cooling

sys tem. Then remove the pressure c ap.

The level of the coolant should not be more than

13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. If

the cooling system is equipped with a sight glass,

the coolant should be to the proper level in the sight

glass.

• The damper is bent.



10. Find the intersection of the eccentricity lines

(vertical and horizontal) in Illustration 49.

11. If the point of the intersection is in the “Acceptable”

range, the bore is in alignment. If the point of

intersection is in the “Not acceptable” range, the

flywheel hous ing must be c hanged.



The bolt holes are worn or there is a loose fit for

the bolts.

The engine has had a crankshaft failure due to

torsional forces.

NOTICE


Inspect the viscous vibration damper for signs of leak-

ing and for signs of damage to the case. Either of

these conditions can cause the weight to contact the

case. This contact can affec t damper operation.

When it is possible, make a test of the charging

operation. This testing will give an indication of

needed repair. After repairs are made, perform a test

in order to prove that the units have been repaired to

the original c ondition of operation.


Most of the tests of the electric al system can be done

on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in good

condition. The wire and cable connections must be

clean, and both components must be tight.

Charging


System



Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or bat-

tery circuit cable from the battery when the charg-

ing unit is operated. A spark can cause an explo-

sion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydro-

gen and oxygen that is released from the elec-

trolyte through the battery outlets. Injury to per-

sonnel can be the result.

The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging

unit. The load is variable because of the condition of

the charge in the battery.

NOTICE

The charging unit will be damaged if the connections

between the battery and the charging unit are broken

while the battery is being charged. Damage occurs

because the load from the battery is lost and because

there is an increase in charging voltage. High voltage

will damage the charging unit, the regulator, and other

electrical components.

See Special Ins truction, SEHS7633, “Battery Test

Procedure” for the correct procedures to use to

test the battery. This publication also contains the

specifications to use when you test the battery.

i02554905

Charging System - Test

The condition of charge in the battery at each

regular inspection will show if the charging system is

operating correctly. An adjustment is necessary when

the battery is constantly in a low condition of charge

or a large amount of water is needed. A large amount

of water would be more than one ounce of water per

a cell per a week or per every 100 service hours.


The ammeter is a self-contained instrument that

measures electric al currents without breaking

the circuit and without disturbing the conductor’s

insulation.

The ammeter contains a digital display that is used

to monitor current directly within a range between 1

ampere and 1200 amperes. The multimeter should

be used under only one condition:

• the readings are less than 1 ampere.

A lever opens the ammeter’s jaws over a conductor.

The conductor’s diameter can not be larger than

19 mm (0.75 inch).

The spring loaded jaws clos e around the conductor

for measuring the current. A trigger switch controls

the ammeter. The trigger s witch can be locked into

the ON position or into the OFF position.

After the trigger has been working and the trigger is

turned to the OFF position, the reading appears in

the digital display for five seconds. This accurately

measures currents in areas with a limited access.

For example, these areas include areas that are

beyond the operator’s sight. For DC operation, an

ammeter contains a zero control, and batteries inside

the handle supply the power.

System - Test


Most of the tests of the elec trical system can be

done on the engine. The wiring insulation must be

in good c ondition. The wire and cable connections

must be clean, and both components must be tight.

The battery must be fully charged. If the on-engine

test shows a defect in a component, remove the

component for more testing.

The starting system consists of the following four

components:

• Keyswitch

• Start relay

• Starting motor solenoid

• Starting motor

Trouble with the starting system could be caused

by the battery or by charging system problems. If

the battery is suspect, refer to Troubleshooting,

“Battery”. If the starting system is suspect, refer to

Troubleshooting, “Engine Will Not Crank”.
