DIESEL ENGINE.
The diesel engine is Perkins model T4.236 turbo-
supercharged, liquid-cooled, four-stroke cycle, vertical in-
line four cylinder, with overhead valves. The engine has
a 236.0 cubic inch (3,86 l) displacement with a
horsepower rating of 102 bhp (76 kW) at 2600 rpm. The
engine has a direct fuel-injection system and a 24 volt
electric
starter.
The
turbosupercharged
engine
increases the power output rating by 26%, and is
configured with piston cooling jets. The engine provides
the power required to operate the paving machine.
The engine main components are identified and located,
as shown.
a.
Turbosupercharger:
The
turbosuper-
charger is located on the right side of the engine,
mounted on the engine exhaust manifold outlet, and is
connected
to
the
air
intake
manifold.
The
turbosupercharger is lubricated by engine oil. The air
intake manifold draws air into the diesel engine turbo-
supercharger.
b.
Air Intake Manifold: The air intake manifold
is located on the right side of the engine, mounted on the
cylinder
head
air
intake
and
connected
to
the
turbosupercharger.
c.
Water Pump: The water pump is located
on the front face of the engine block, mounted on a
vertical outlet behind the fan assembly. The water pump
circulates coolant through the engine and radiator. The
water pump is a centrifugal, impeller-driven unit. It is
linked to the fan assembly and has self-lubricating
bearings. An external bypass system is used on
turbosupercharged engines.
d.
Radiator Fan Assembly: The fan assembly
is located on the front of the engine, mounted on the
water pump pulley. The fan has six blades for maximum
air cooling circulation.
e.
Alternator: The alternator is located on the
right side of the engine, mounted on the belt adjusting
arm and a support bracket. The alternator operates at
24 volts DC and is negative-grounded. The alternator
has an open, ventilated enclosure and a fan on the
alternator pulley for air circulation through the unit.
Operating amperage for the alternator is 45 amps.
f.
Starter: The 24 V starter is located on the
right side of the engine, mounted on the forward side of
the flywheel housing. The starter operates on a 24 volt
DC current drawn from two batteries wired in series. The
starter has a maximum current rating of 900 amps. The
drive pinion assembly is self-indexing to ensure a
smooth engagement between the bendix and the
flywheel spur gear teeth before the starter motor begins
to turn.
g.
Fuel Lift Pump: The fuel lift pump is located
on the right side of the engine, mounted on the engine
block below the turbosupercharger. The fuel lift pump is
an eccentric-on-camshaft type. The fuel lift pump draws
fuel from the fuel tank and sends it through the fuel filter
to the fuel injection pump and turbosupercharger.
