Air
MODULE 7
We explore the air system of diesel engines and follow the journey of the air from the engine room through the engine's air inlet and any turbocharger and intercooler all the way to the engine exhaust outlet.
We explore the volume and temperature requirements of intake air, guidelines for engine room ventilation, and various types of air filters.
We focus on the function and maintenance of crankcase breathers, exploring different types of varying complexity and their role in preventing pressure buildup and oil mist pollution.
We cover the maintenance of air filters and crankcase breathers, and highlight the importance of regular checks to prevent engine performance issues.
We address the flow of air post-combustion, the importance of preventing carbon buildup in the exhaust system, and the management of turbochargers and their wastegates.
