Starting the EngineThe Electronic Control Module (ECM) willautomatically provide the correct amount of fuel thatis necessary to start the engine. If the engine failsto start in 30 seconds, the starter switch should bereleased. The starting motor should be allowed tocool for 30 seconds before being used again.

Cold Mode OperationThe ECM will set the cold start strategy when thecoolant temperature is below 20 °C (68 °F).

Cold mode operation will be deactivated when any ofthe following conditions have been met:

• Coolant temperature reaches 20 °C (68 °F).

• The engine has been running for twelve minutes.

Cold mode operation varies the fuel injection amountfor white smoke cleanup. Cold mode operation alsovaries the timing for white smoke cleanup. Theengine operating temperature is usually reachedbefore the walk-around inspection is completed.

(4) Atmospheric pressure sensor(5) Secondary position sensor (Camshaft)(6) Engine oil pressure sensor

(7) Fuel temperature sensor(8) Primary position sensor (Crankshaft)(9) Electronic control module (ECM)

The electronic control system is integrally designedinto the engine’s fuel system and the engine’s airinlet and exhaust system in order to electronicallycontrol the fuel delivery and the injection timing. Theelectronic control system provides increased timingcontrol and fuel air ratio control in comparison toconventional mechanical engines. Injection timingis achieved by precise control of injector firing time,and engine rpm is controlled by adjusting the firingduration. The Electronic Control Module (ECM)energizes the solenoid in the unit injector in order tostart the injection of fuel. Also, the ECM de-energizesthe unit injector solenoids in order to stop injectionof fuel. Refer to Systems Operation, Testing andAdjusting, “Fuel System” for a complete explanationof the fuel injection process.

The engine uses the following types of electroniccomponents:

• Inputs

• Controls

• Outputs

An input component is one that sends an electricalsignal to the ECM. The signal that is sent varies inone of the following ways:

• Voltage

• Frequency

This document has been printed from SPI². Not for Resale

Page 7: ENGINE PERKINS 2200 SERIES

KENR6907 7Systems Operation Section

• Pulse width

The variation of the signal is in response to a changein some specific system of the equipment. TheECM sees the input sensor signal as informationabout the condition, environment, or operation of theequipment.

A electronic control module (ECM) receives theinput signals. Electronic circuits inside the controlcomponent evaluate the signals from the inputcomponents. These electronic circuits also supplyelectrical energy to the output components of thesystem. The electrical energy that is supplied tothe output components is based on predeterminedcombinations of input signal values.

An output component is one that is operated by acontrol module. The output component receiveselectrical energy from the control component. Theoutput component uses that electrical energy in oneof two ways. The output component can use thatelectrical energy in order to perform work. The outputcomponent can use that electrical energy in order toprovide information.

(5) Fuel cooler(6) Fuel tank(7) Secondary fuel filter(8) Primary fuel filter

(9) Fuel transfer pump(10) Fuel temperature sensor

The fuel supply circuit is a conventional design forengines with electronic unit injection. A fuel tank (6)is used to store the fuel prior to use by the engine. Aprimary fuel filter/water separator (8) is placed intothe fuel supply circuit in order to remove large debrisfrom the fuel. This debris may have entered thefuel tank during fueling. The debris may have alsoentered the fuel tank through the vent for the fueltank. The primary filter element also separates waterfrom the fuel. The water is collected in the bowl at thebottom of the primary fuel filter/water separator.

Note: The inlet fuel temperature to the fuel transferpump must not exceed 79 °C (175 °F) when theengine has reached normal operating temperature.Fuel temperatures above 79 °C (175 °F) will reducethe life of the fuel transfer pump check valves. Thefuel efficiency and the engine power output arereduced when the fuel temperature increases from30 °C (86 °F) to 70 °C (158 °F).

KENR6907 9Systems Operation Section

Fuel from the tank (6) flows to the fuel filter base.The fuel filter base contains the primary fuel filterand the secondary fuel filter. The fuel flows throughcored passages in the fuel filter base. The fuelpriming pump (4) is mounted on the fuel filter base.The fuel priming pump is used in order to manuallypump the fuel into the fuel system after the system,or parts of the system have been drained. The fuelpriming pump is used in order to refill the fuel systemafter air has been introduced into the system. Formore information on priming the fuel system, referto Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “FuelSystem - Prime”.

As the fuel flows through cored passages in the fuelfilter base, the fuel is directed into the primary fuelfilter (8). Fuel flows out of the fuel filter and returnsto the passages in the fuel filter base. Prior to exitingthe fuel filter base, the fuel temperature is sampledby the fuel temperature sensor (10). The signalsthat are generated by the sensors are used by theengine control in order to monitor the condition of theengine’s components.

The fuel flows from the fuel filter base to the fueltransfer pump (9). The fuel transfer pump (9) is a geartype pump with fixed clearances. The fuel transferpump (9) incorporates an internal relief valve thatprotects the fuel system from extreme pressure. Inthe case of extreme pressure, fuel is redirected backto the inlet of the fuel transfer pump (9). An outletcheck valve is used in order to prevent pressurizedfuel leakage back through the pump. The fuel transferpump (9) is located in the front of the engine. The fueltransfer pump (9) is driven by the front gear train.

The fuel flows from the fuel transfer pump (9) to thesecondary fuel filter (7). The fuel is filtered in orderto remove small abrasive particles that will causepremature wear to fuel system components. The fuelflows from the secondary fuel filter (7) to the fuel filterbase.

The fuel is then directed from the fuel filter basethrough the fuel return line (1) to fuel manifold (3) thatruns the length of the cylinder head. A continuousflow 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 fuelsystem.

The fuel exits the fuel gallery and returns to the fuelfilter base. A pressure regulating valve is located inthe fuel filter base. The pressure regulating valveregulates the pressure for the fuel system. A sufficientamount of back pressure is maintained in the systemin order to ensure a continuous availability of fuel tothe electronic unit injectors. The fuel flows from thefuel filter base to the fuel cooler (5). The fuel flowsfrom the fuel cooler (5) back to the tank (6).

The injection pump, the fuel lines, and the nozzlesthat are used in the traditional Perkins diesel engineshave been replaced with an electronically controlled,mechanically actuated electronic unit injector in eachcylinder. A solenoid on each injector controls theamount of fuel that is delivered by the injector. AnElectronic Control Module (ECM) sends a signal toeach injector solenoid in order to provide completecontrol of the engine.

Fuel Injection

The ECM controls the amount of fuel that is injectedby varying the signals that are sent to the injectors.The ECM sends a high voltage signal to the solenoidin order to energize the solenoid. The injectorswill inject fuel only while the injector solenoid isenergized. By controlling the timing and the durationof the voltage signal, the ECM can control injectiontiming and the amount of fuel that is injected.

The ECM sets certain limits on the amount of fuel thatcan be injected. “FRC” is a limit which controls theamount of air and of fuel for the purpose of emissioncontrol. This limit is based on the boost pressure.When the ECM senses a higher boost pressure, theECM increases the “FRC” limit. “Rated Fuel Pos” isa limit that is based on the horsepower rating of theengine. This is similar to the rack stops and to thetorque spring on a mechanically governed engine.“Rated Fuel Pos” provides horsepower and torquecurves for a specific engine family and for a specificengine rating. All of these limits are programmedinto the ECM by the factory. These limits are notprogrammable by the service technician.

Injection timing depends on three factors: the enginespeed (rpm), the engine load, and the operationalconditions of the engine. The ECM determines thetop center position of No. 1 cylinder from the signalthat is provided by the engine speed/timing sensor.The ECM decides when the injection should occurrelative to the top center position. The ECM thenprovides the signal to the electronic unit injector atthe desired time.

Electronic Unit Injector Mechanism

g01092960Illustration 6

Typical examples of Electronic Unit Injector fuel systems.(1) Adjusting nut(2) Rocker arm assembly(3) Unit injector(4) Pushrod

The unit injector pressurizes the fuel. The correctamount of fuel is then injected into the cylinder blockat precise times. The ECM determines the injectiontiming and the amount of fuel that is delivered. Theunit injector is operated by a camshaft lobe and arocker arm. The camshaft has three camshaft lobesfor each cylinder. Two lobes operate the inlet andexhaust valves, and the other lobe operates theunit injector mechanism. Force is transferred fromthe unit injector lobe on the camshaft through thelifter to the pushrod (4). The force of the pushrodis transferred through rocker arm assembly (2) andto the top of the unit injector. The adjusting nut (1)allows setting of the unit injector adjustment. Refer toSystems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, “ElectronicUnit Injector - Adjust” for the correct setting of theunit injector adjustment.

Electronic Unit Injector

g00984466Illustration 7Electronic unit injector(1) Spring(2) Solenoid connection to the Electronic Control Module (ECM)(3) Solenoid valve assembly(4) Plunger assembly(5) Barrel(6) Seal(7) Seal(8) Spring(9) Spacer(10) Body(11) Check valve

Fuel at low pressure from the fuel supply manifoldenters the electronic unit injector at the fill portthrough drilled passages in the cylinder head.

As the electronic unit injector mechanism transfersthe force to the top of the electronic unit injector,spring (1) is compressed and plunger (4) is drivendownward. This action displaces fuel through thevalve in solenoid valve assembly (3), and into thereturn manifold to the fuel tank. As the plunger travelsdownward, the passage in barrel (5) is closed by theoutside diameter of the plunger. The passages withinbody (10) and along check valve (11) to the injectortip already contain fuel for injection. After the passagein the plunger barrel is closed, the injector is ready forinjection at any time. The start of injection relies onthe software in the Electronic Control Module (ECM).

When the solenoid valve assembly is energizedfrom a signal across solenoid connection (2), thevalve closes and fuel pressure is elevated in theinjector tip. Injection begins at 34500 ± 1900 kPa(5000 ± 275 psi) as the force of spring (8) abovespacer (9) is overcome. The check valve beginsto lift from the valve seat. The pressure continuesto rise as the plunger cycles through a full stroke.After the correct amount of fuel has been dischargedinto the cylinder, the ECM removes the signal to thesolenoid connection. The solenoid valve assemblyis de-energized and the valve in the solenoid valveassembly is opened. The high pressure fuel is thendumped through the spill port and into the fuel returnmanifold. The fuel is then returned to the fuel tank.The check valve in the injector tip seats as thepressure in the tip decreases.

The duration of injection meters the fuel that isconsumed during the fuel injection process. Injectionduration is controlled by the governor logic that isprogrammed into the ECM.

As the camshaft lobe rotates past the point ofmaximum lobe lift, the force on top of the electronicunit injector is removed and the spring for the injectormechanism is allowed to expand. The plunger returnsto the original position. This uncovers the fuel supplypassage into the plunger barrel in order to refill theinjector pump body. The fuel at low pressure is againallowed to circulate through the fuel injector body.After circulating through the fuel injector body, thefuel flows out of the spill port. This continues until thesolenoid valve assembly is re-energized for anotherinjection cycle.

Air inlet and exhaust system schematic(1) Inlet to the engine(2) Aftercooler core(3) Inlet air line(4) Exhaust outlet from turbocharger(5) Turbine side of turbocharger(6) Compressor side of turbocharger(7) Air cleaner

The engine components of the air inlet and exhaustsystem control the quality of air and the amount ofair that is available for combustion. The componentsof the air inlet and exhaust system are the followingcomponents:

• Air cleaner

• Turbocharger

• Aftercooler

• Cylinder head

• Valves and valve system components

• Piston and cylinder

• Exhaust manifold

The turbocharger compressor wheel pulls inlet airthrough the air cleaner and into the air inlet. The airis compressed and this causes the air to become hot.The air flows through aftercooler core (2) and thetemperature of the compressed air lowers. This helpsto provide increased horsepower output. Aftercoolercore (2) is a separate cooler core that is mounted infront of the engine radiator. The engine fan causesambient air to move across both cores. This cools theturbocharged inlet air and the engine coolant.

Air is forced from the aftercooler into inlet manifold(1). The air flow from the inlet port into the cylindersis controlled by inlet valves.

Each cylinder has two inlet valves (10) and twoexhaust valves (9) in the cylinder head. The inletvalves open on the inlet stroke. When the inlet valvesopen, compressed air from the inlet port within theinlet manifold is pushed into the cylinder. The inletvalves close when the piston begins the compressionstroke. The air in the cylinder is compressed and thefuel is injected into the cylinder when the piston isnear the top of the compression stroke. Combustionbegins when the fuel mixes with the air. The force ofcombustion pushes the piston on the power stroke.The exhaust valves open and the exhaust gasesare pushed through the exhaust port into exhaustmanifold (8). After the piston finishes the exhauststroke, the exhaust valves close and the cycle beginsagain.

Exhaust gases from the exhaust manifold flowinto the turbine side of turbocharger (5). The hightemperature exhaust gases cause the turbochargerturbine wheel to turn. The turbine wheel is connectedto the shaft that drives the compressor wheel.Exhaust gases from the turbocharger pass throughexhaust outlet (4), through a muffler, and through anexhaust stack.

Turbocharger (3) is mounted to exhaust manifold (2)of the engine. All of the exhaust gases go from theexhaust manifold through the turbocharger.

The exhaust gases enter the turbocharger and theturbine wheel is turned. Because the turbochargerturbine wheel is connected by a shaft to theturbocharger compressor wheel, the turbine wheeland the compressor wheel turn at very high speeds.The rotation of the compressor wheel pulls cleanair through the compressor housing air inlet. Theaction of the compressor wheel blades causes acompression of the inlet air. This compression allowsa larger amount of air to enter the engine. With moreair 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 useengine oil that is under pressure for lubrication. Thelubrication for the bearings flows through oil inlet port(8) and into the inlet port in the center section of theturbocharger cartridge. The oil exits the turbochargerthrough oil outlet port (13). The oil then returns tothe engine oil pan through the oil drain line for theturbocharger.

Valve System Components

g01086490Illustration 11(1) Rocker arm(2) Pushrod(3) Valve bridge(4) Valve spring(5) Valve(6) Lifter

The valve system components control the flow ofinlet air into the cylinders and out of the cylindersduring engine operation. The valve mechanism alsooperates the fuel injector.

The camshaft must be timed to the crankshaft inorder to get the correct relation between the pistonmovement and the valve movement.

The camshaft has two camshaft lobes for eachcylinder. The lobes operate the inlet and exhaustvalves. As the camshaft turns, lobes on the camshaftcause lifters (6) to move pushrods (2) up and down.Upward movement of the pushrods against rockerarms (1) results in downward movement (opening) ofvalves (5).

Each cylinder has two inlet valves and two exhaustvalves. The valves are actuated at the same time bya valve bridge (3). Valve springs (4) close the valveswhen the lifters move down.

The lubrication system supplies 110 °C (230 °F)filtered oil at approximately 275 kPa (40 psi) at ratedengine operating conditions. Oil pump bypass valve(15) is controlled by the engine oil manifold pressure,rather than the oil pump pressure. The engine oilmanifold pressure is independent of the pressuredrop that is caused by the engine oil filter and theengine oil cooler.

Oil cooler bypass valve (11) maintains the engine oiltemperature to 110 °C (230 °F). High pressure reliefvalve (14), which is located in the filter base, protectsthe filters and other components during cold starts.The opening pressure of the high pressure reliefvalve is 695 kPa (100 psi). The opening pressure ofthe oil filter bypass valve is 170 kPa (25 psi). Engineoil pressure sensor (3) is part of the engine protectionsystem.

The turbocharger cartridge bearings are lubricated bythe oil supply line from the main oil gallery, and the oildrain line returns the oil flow to the sump.

KENR6907 17Systems Operation Section

The coolant is pumped through engine oil cooler(9). The coolant then flows to the supply manifold.The supply manifold, which is located in the cylinderblock, distributes coolant around the upper portionof the cylinder liners. At each cylinder, the coolantflows from the cylinder liner to the cylinder head.The cylinder head is divided into single cylindercooling sections. In the cylinder head, the coolantflows across the center of the cylinder and acrossthe injector seat boss. At the center of the cylinder,the coolant flows around the injector sleeve overthe exhaust port. The coolant then exits into returnmanifold (3). The return manifold collects thecoolant from each cylinder and the return manifolddirects the flow to temperature regulator housing(5). When the coolant temperature regulator isin the closed position, the coolant flows throughthe coolant temperature regulator. This allows thecoolant to flow directly back to the water pump forrecirculation by bypassing the radiator. When thecoolant temperature regulator is in the open position,the coolant is directed through the radiator and backto the water pump inlet.

Supply ManifoldCooling is provided for only the portion of the cylinderliner above the seal in the cylinder block. The coolantenters the cylinder block at each cylinder throughslits in the supply manifold. The supply manifold isan integral casting in the cylinder block. The coolantflows around the circumference of the cylinder linerand into the cylinder head through a single drilledpassage for each liner. The coolant flow is split ateach cylinder liner so that 60 percent flows aroundthe cylinder liner and the remainder flows directly tothe cylinder head.

Temperature Regulator Housing

g01085915Illustration 16

Section view of the temperature regulator housing(1) Temperature regulator housing(2) Coolant temperature sensor

The coolant temperature regulator is a full flowbypass type that is used to control the outlettemperature of the coolant. When the engine iscold, the coolant temperature regulator is in theclosed position. This allows the coolant to flowthrough the coolant temperature regulator from thereturn manifold. This allows the coolant to bypassthe radiator. The coolant goes directly to the waterpump for recirculation. As the coolant temperatureincreases, the coolant temperature regulator beginsto open directing some of the coolant to the radiatorand bypassing the remainder to the water pump inlet.At the full operating temperature of the engine, thecoolant temperature regulator moves to the openposition. This allows all the coolant flow to be directedto the radiator. The coolant then goes to the waterpump. This route provides the maximum heat releasefrom the coolant. A vent line is recommended fromthe manifold to the radiator overflow tank in order toprovide venting for the cooling system.

Basic Engine

Cylinder BlockThe cylinder block is a unique design with a deepcounterbore that supports the cylinder liner. Thecylinder block also forms the coolant jacket. Twooil manifolds are provided in the cylinder block forengine lubrication. The manifold on the lower rightside of the cylinder block provides oil to the followingcomponents:

• Piston cooling jets

• Crankshaft bearings

• Oil filter base

The manifold on the upper left side of the cylinderblock provides oil to the following components:

• Camshaft bearings

• Valve mechanism

The manifold on the right supplies oil to the manifoldon the left. The oil travels through the cut above thenumber one main bearing and the cut above thenumber four main bearing.

g00762739Illustration 17

Cylinder liners (1) are seated on a ridge (4) in themiddle of the cylinder wall between the crankcaseand the coolant jacket. The ridge is created by acounterbore in the cylinder block. The cylinder linershave a lip (2) which rests on the ridge. The seals ofthe coolant jacket are located in the upper regionsand middle regions of the cylinder liners. The lowerbarrier uses a D-ring seal (3) that is located above theseating surface of the cylinder liner. The upper barrieris the head gasket which is above the coolant jacket.

The cylinder block has seven main bearings in orderto support the crankshaft. Each main bearing cap isfastened to the cylinder block with two bolts.

Pistons, Rings, and ConnectingRodsThe high compression ratio of the engine requiresthe use of steel one piece pistons.

The pistons have three rings:

• Compression ring

• Intermediate ring

• Oil ring

The rings are located in grooves in the piston. Therings seal the crankcase from the combustion gasesand the rings also provide control of the engineoil. The design of the compression ring is a barrelface with a plasma face coating. The design of theintermediate ring is a tapered shape and a chromefinish. The oil ring is double railed with a coil springexpander. The oil ring has a ground profile and achrome finish.

The connecting rod is a conventional design. Thecap is fastened to the shank by two bolts that arethreaded into the shank. Each side of the small endof the connecting rod is machined at an angle of12 degrees in order to fit within the piston cavity.This allows a larger surface area on the piston, andconnecting rod in order to minimize bearing load.

CrankshaftThe crankshaft converts the linear motion of thepistons into rotational motion. The crankshaft drivesa group of gears (front gear train) on the front of theengine. The front gear train provides power for thefollowing components:

• Camshaft

• Water pump

Page 19: ENGINE PERKINS 2200 SERIES

KENR6907 19Systems Operation Section

• Engine oil pump

• Air compressor

• Fuel transfer pump

• Accessory drive

The crankshaft is held in place by seven mainbearings. The oil holes and the oil grooves in theshell of the upper bearing supply oil to the connectingrod bearings. The oil holes for the connecting rodbearings are located at the following main bearingjournals: 2, 3, 5, and 6.

Hydrodynamic seals are used at both ends of thecrankshaft to control oil leakage. The hydrodynamicgrooves in the seal lip move lubrication oil back intothe crankcase as the crankshaft turns. The frontseal is located in the front housing. The rear seal isinstalled in the flywheel housing.

Camshaft

g00762808Illustration 18

The camshaft has three lobes at each cylinder inorder to operate the unit injector, the exhaust valves,and the inlet valves. Seven bearings support thecamshaft. The camshaft is driven by an idler gearthat is turned by the crankshaft in the front geartrain. Each bearing journal is lubricated from the oilmanifold in the cylinder block. A thrust pin that islocated at the rear of the block positions the camshaftthrough a circumferential groove. The groove ismachined at the rear of the camshaft. Timing of thecamshaft is accomplished by aligning marks on thecrankshaft gear, idler gear, and camshaft gear witheach other.

The injector lobe on the camshaft has a modifiedprofile. The modified profile produces multipleinjections.

Vibration DamperThe force from combustion in the cylinders and fromdriveline components will cause the crankshaft totwist. This is called torsional vibration. If the vibrationis too great, the crankshaft will be damaged. Drivelinecomponents can excite torsional stress. This stresswill cause damage to components. The vibrationdamper limits the torsional vibrations to an acceptableamount in order to prevent damage to the crankshaft.

The viscous vibration damper is installed on the frontof the crankshaft. The viscous vibration damper hasa weight in a case. The space between the weightand the case is filled with a viscous fluid. The weightmoves in the case in order to limit the torsionalvibration.

Electrical System

Grounding PracticesCorrect grounding for the machine electrical systemand engine electrical systems is necessary forcorrect machine performance and reliability. Impropergrounding will result in uncontrolled electrical circuitpaths and unreliable electrical circuit paths.

Uncontrolled engine electrical circuit paths can resultin damage to main bearings, crankshaft bearingjournal surfaces, and aluminum components.

To ensure correct functioning of the application andengine electrical systems, an engine-to-frame groundstrap with a direct path to the negative battery postmust be used. This may be provided by way of astarting motor ground, a frame to starting motorground, or a direct frame to engine ground.

An engine-to-frame ground strap must be used inorder to connect the grounding stud of the engineto the frame of the application and to the negativebattery post.

The engine must have a wire ground to the battery.

Ground wires or ground straps should be combinedat ground studs that are only for ground use. All ofthe grounds should be tight and free of corrosion.

All of the ground paths must be capable of carryingany likely current faults. An AWG #0 or larger wire isrecommended for the grounding strap to the cylinderhead.

The engine alternator should be battery groundwith a wire size that is capable of managing the fullcharging current of the alternator.

NOTICEWhen boost starting an engine, the instructions in Op-eration and Maintenance Manual, “Engine Starting”should be followed in order to correctly 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 electricalsystem.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) must be dis-connected at the “J1/P1” and “J2/P2” locations beforewelding on the application.

The engine has several input components which areelectronic. These components require an operatingvoltage.

Unlike many electronic systems of the past, thisengine is tolerant to common external sources ofelectrical noise. Buzzers that use electrical energycan cause disruptions in the power supply. If buzzersare used anywhere on the machine, the engineelectronics should be powered directly from thebattery system through a dedicated relay. The engineelectronics should not be powered through a commonpower bus with other keyswitch activated devices.

Engine Electrical SystemThe electrical system has the following separatecircuits:

• Charging

• Starting (If equipped)

• Accessories with low amperage

The charging circuit is in operation when the engineis running. An alternator makes electricity for thecharging circuit. A voltage regulator in the circuitcontrols the electrical output in order to keep thebattery at full charge.

The starting circuit is activated only when the startswitch is activated.

Charging System Components

Alternator

The alternator is driven by a belt from the crankshaftpulley. This alternator is a three-phase, self-rectifyingcharging unit, and the regulator is part of thealternator.

The alternator design has no need for slip ringsand the only part that has movement is the rotorassembly. All conductors that carry current arestationary. The following conductors are in the circuit:

• Field winding

• Stator windings

• Six rectifying diodes

• Regulator circuit components

This document has been printed from SPI². Not for Resale

Page 21: ENGINE PERKINS 2200 SERIES

KENR6907 21Systems Operation Section

The rotor assembly has many magnetic poles thatlook like fingers with air space between each of theopposite poles. The poles have residual magnetism.The residual magnetism produces a small magneticfield between the poles. As the rotor assemblybegins to turn between the field winding and thestator windings, a small amount of alternating current(AC) is produced. The AC current is produced in thestator windings from the small magnetic field. TheAC current is changed to direct current (DC) whenthe AC current passes through the diodes of therectifier bridge. The current is used for the followingapplications:

• Charging the battery

• Supplying the accessory circuit that has the lowamperage

• Strengthening the magnetic field

The first two applications use the majority of thecurrent. As the DC current increases through thefield windings, the strength of the magnetic field isincreased. As the magnetic field becomes stronger,more AC current is produced in the stator windings.The increased speed of the rotor assembly alsoincreases the current and voltage output of thealternator.

The voltage regulator is a solid-state electronicswitch. The voltage regulator senses the voltage inthe system. The voltage regulator switches ON andOFF many times per second in order to control thefield current for the alternator. The alternator usesthe field current in order to generate the requiredvoltage output.

NOTICENever operate the alternator without the battery in thecircuit. Making or breaking an alternator connectionwith heavy load on the circuit can cause damage tothe regulator.

(1) Field(2) Solenoid(3) Clutch(4) Pinion(5) Commutator(6) Brush assembly(7) Armature

The starting solenoid (2) is an electromagnetic switchthat performs the following basic operations:

• The starting solenoid (2) closes the high currentstarting motor circuit with a low current start switchcircuit.

• The starting solenoid (2) engages the pinion of thestarting motor (4) with the ring gear.

Solenoid (2) has windings (one or two sets) arounda hollow cylinder. A plunger that is spring loaded isinside the cylinder. The plunger can move forwardand backward. When the start switch is closed andelectricity is sent through the windings, a magneticfield (1) is made. The magnetic field (1) pulls theplunger forward in the cylinder. This moves the shiftlever in order to engage the pinion drive gear with thering gear. The front end of the plunger then makescontact across the battery and motor terminals ofsolenoid (2). Next, the starting motor begins to turnthe flywheel of the engine.

When the start switch is opened, current no longerflows through the windings. The spring now pushesthe plunger back to the original position. At the sametime, the spring moves the pinion gear away fromthe flywheel.

When two sets of solenoid windings are used, thewindings are called the hold-in winding and thepull-in winding. Both sets of windings have the samenumber of turns around the cylinder, but the pull-inwinding uses a wire with a larger diameter. The wirewith a larger diameter produces a greater magneticfield (1). When the start switch is closed, part of thecurrent flows from the battery through the hold-inwindings. The rest of the current flows through thepull-in windings to the motor terminal. The currentthen flows through the motor to ground. Solenoid(2)is fully activated when the connection across thebattery and the motor terminal is complete. Whensolenoid (2) is fully activated, the current is shutoff through the pull-in windings. At this point, onlythe smaller hold-in windings are in operation. Thehold-in windings operate for the duration of time thatis required in order to start the engine. Solenoid (2)will now draw less current from the battery, and theheat that is generated by solenoid (2) will be kept atan acceptable level.

Reasons for Low Engine OilPressure

NOTICEKeep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortenedcomponent life.

NOTICECare must be taken to ensure that fluids are containedduring performance of inspection, maintenance, test-ing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared tocollect the fluid with suitable containers before open-ing any compartment or disassembling any compo-nent containing fluids.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations andmandates.

• Engine oil level is low. Refer to Step 1.

• Engine oil is contaminated. Refer to Step 2.

• The engine oil bypass valves are open. Refer toStep 3.

• The engine lubrication system is open. Refer toStep 4.

• The oil pickup tube has a leak or a restricted inletscreen. Refer to Step 5.

• The engine oil pump is faulty. Refer to Step 6.

• Engine Bearings have excessive clearance. Referto Step 7.

1. Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. Theoil level can possibly be too far below the oil pumpsupply tube. This will cause the oil pump not tohave the ability to supply enough lubrication to theengine components. If the engine oil level is lowadd engine oil in order to obtain the correct engineoil level. Refer to Operation and MaintenanceManual, “Fluid Recommendations” for the correctengine oil.

2. Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel orcoolant will cause low engine oil pressure. Highengine oil level in the crankcase can be anindication of contamination. Determine the reasonfor contamination of the engine oil and makethe necessary repairs. Replace the engine oilwith the approved grade of engine oil. Referto Operation and Maintenance Manual, “FluidRecommendations” for the correct engine oil.

NOTICEPerkins oil filters are manufactured to Perkins speci-fications. Use of an oil filter that is not recommendedby Perkins could result in severe damage to the en-gine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the largerwaste particles from unfiltered oil entering the enginelubricating system. Only use oil filters recommendedby Perkins.

3. If the engine oil bypass valves are held in theopen position, a reduction in the oil pressure canbe the result. This may be due to debris in theengine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves arestuck in the open position, remove each engineoil bypass valve and clean each bypass valvein order to correct this problem. You must alsoclean each bypass valve bore. Install new engineoil filters. New engine oil filters will prevent moredebris from causing this problem. For informationon the repair of the engine oil bypass valves, referto Disassembly and Assembly, “Engine Oil FilterBase - 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 bya piston cooling jet that is missing or damaged.Determine the reason for an open lubricationsystem of the engine and make the necessaryrepairs.

Note: The piston cooling jets direct engine oil towardthe 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 thepiston cooling jets will cause seizure of the piston.

5. The inlet screen of the oil pickup tube for theengine oil pump can have a restriction. Thisrestriction will cause cavitation and a loss ofengine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen onthe oil pickup tube and remove any material thatmay be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oilpressure may also be the result of the oil pickuptube that is drawing in air. Check the joints of theoil pickup tube for cracks or a damaged O-ringseal. Remove the engine oil pan in order to gainaccess to the oil pickup tube and the oil screen.Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, “Engine OilPan - Remove and Install” for more information.

Excessive Bearing Wear -Inspect

When some components of the engine show bearingwear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction inan oil passage.

An engine oil pressure indicator may show that thereis enough oil pressure, but a component is worndue to a lack of lubrication. In such a case, look atthe passage for the oil supply to the component.A restriction in an oil supply passage will not allowenough lubrication to reach a component. This willresult in early wear.

i02788843

Excessive Engine OilConsumption - Inspect

Engine Oil Leaks on the Outside ofthe EngineCheck for leakage at the seals at each end of thecrankshaft. Look for leakage at the gasket for theengine oil pan and all lubrication system connections.Look for any engine oil that may be leaking fromthe crankcase breather. This can be caused bycombustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirtycrankcase breather will cause high pressure in thecrankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause thegaskets and the seals to leak.

Engine Oil Leaks into theCombustion Area of the CylindersEngine oil that is leaking into the combustion area ofthe cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. Thereare several possible ways for engine oil to leak intothe combustion area of the cylinders:

• Leaks between worn valve guides and valve stems

This document has been printed from SPI². Not for Resale

Page 40: ENGINE PERKINS 2200 SERIES

40 KENR6907Testing and Adjusting Section

• Worn components or damaged components(pistons, piston rings, or dirty return holes for theengine oil)

• Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/orthe 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 alsoresult if engine oil with the wrong viscosity is used.Engine oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by fuelleakage into the crankcase or by increased enginetemperature.

i02788844

Increased Engine OilTemperature - Inspect

If the oil temperature is high, then check for arestriction in the oil passages of the oil cooler. Arestriction in the oil cooler will not cause low oilpressure in the engine.

Determine if the oil cooler bypass valve is held in theopen position. This condition will allow the oil to passthrough the valve instead of the oil cooler. The oiltemperature will increase.

Cooling Systemi02788847

Cooling System - Check(Overheating)

Above normal coolant temperatures can be causedby many conditions. Use the following procedureto determine the cause of above normal coolanttemperatures:

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 pressurebefore 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 thecoolant level is too low, air will get into the coolingsystem. Air in the cooling system will cause areduction in coolant flow and bubbles in thecoolant. Air bubbles will keep coolant away fromthe engine parts, which will prevent the transfer ofheat to the coolant. Low coolant level is caused byleaks or incorrectly filling the radiator.

2. Check the mixture of antifreeze and water. Referto Operation and Maintenance Manual, “FluidRecommendations”. If the coolant mixture isincorrect, drain the system. Put the correct mixtureof water, antifreeze and coolant conditioner in thecooling system.

3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enterthe cooling system in different ways. The mostcommon causes of air in the cooling systemare not filling the cooling system correctly andcombustion gas leakage into the cooling system.Combustion gas can get into the system throughinside cracks, a damaged cylinder head, or adamaged cylinder head gasket. Air in the coolingsystem causes a reduction in coolant flow andbubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles keep coolantaway from the engine parts, which prevents thetransfer of heat to the coolant.

4. Check the water temperature gauge. A watertemperature gauge which does not work correctlywill not show the correct temperature. Referto Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,“Cooling System - Inspect”.

5. Check the sending unit. In some conditions, thetemperature sensor in the engine sends signals toa sending unit. The sending unit converts thesesignals to an electrical impulse which is used by amounted gauge. If the sending unit malfunctions,the gauge can show an incorrect reading. Also ifthe electric wire breaks or if the electric wire shortsout, the gauge can show an incorrect reading.

6. Check the radiator.

a. Check the radiator for a restriction to coolantflow. Check the radiator for debris, dirt, ordeposits on the inside of the radiator core.Debris, dirt, or deposits will restrict the flow ofcoolant through the radiator.

b. Check for debris or damage between the finsof the radiator core. Debris between the finsof the radiator core restricts air flow throughthe radiator core. Refer to Systems Operation,Testing and Adjusting, “Cooling System -Inspect”.

c. Ensure that the radiator size is adequate forthe application. An undersized radiator doesnot have enough area for the effective releaseof heat. This may cause the engine to runat a temperature that is higher than normal.The normal temperature is dependent on theambient temperature.

7. Check the filler cap. A pressure drop in theradiator can cause the boiling point to be lower.This can cause the cooling system to boil. Referto Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,“Cooling System - Test”.

8. Check the fan and/or the fan shroud.

a. The fan must be large enough to send airthrough most of the area of the radiator core.Ensure that the size of the fan and the positionof the fan are adequate for the application.

b. The fan shroud must be the proper size andthe fan shroud must be positioned correctly.Ensure that the size of the fan shroud and theposition of the fan shroud are adequate for theapplication.

9. If the fan is belt driven, check for loose drive belts.A loose fan drive belt will cause a reduction in theair flow across the radiator. Check the fan drivebelt for proper belt tension. Adjust the tension ofthe fan drive belt, if necessary. Refer to SystemsOperation, Testing and Adjusting, “Belt TensionChart”.

Page 42: ENGINE PERKINS 2200 SERIES

42 KENR6907Testing and Adjusting Section

10.Check the cooling system hoses and clamps.Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen.Hoses that have no visual leaks can soften duringoperation. The soft areas of the hose can becomekinked or crushed during operation. These areasof the hose can cause a restriction in the coolantflow. Hoses become soft and/or get cracksafter a period of time. The inside of a hose candeteriorate, and the loose particles of the hosecan cause a restriction of the coolant flow. Referto Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Hosesand Clamps - Inspect/Replace”.

11.Check for a restriction in the air inlet system.A restriction of the air that is coming into theengine can cause high cylinder temperatures.High cylinder temperatures cause higher thannormal temperatures in the cooling system. Referto Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “AirInlet and Exhaust System - Inspect”.

a. If the measured restriction is higher than themaximum permissible restriction, remove theforeign material from the engine air cleanerelement or install a new engine air cleanerelement. Refer to Operation and MaintenanceManual, “Engine Air Cleaner Element -Clean/Replace”.

b. Check for a restriction in the air inlet systemagain.

c. If the measured restriction is still higher thanthe maximum permissible restriction, check theair inlet piping for a restriction.

12.Check for a restriction in the exhaust system.A restriction of the air that is coming out of theengine can cause high cylinder temperatures.

a. Make a visual inspection of the exhaust system.Check for damage to exhaust piping or for adamaged muffler. If no damage is found, checkthe exhaust system for a restriction. Refer toSystems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “AirInlet and Exhaust System - Inspect”.

b. If the measured restriction is higher than themaximum permissible restriction, there is arestriction in the exhaust system. Repair theexhaust system, as required.

13.Check the shunt line, if the shunt system isused. The shunt line must be submerged in theexpansion tank. A restriction of the shunt linefrom the radiator top tank to the engine waterpump inlet will cause a reduction in water pumpefficiency. A reduction in water pump efficiencywill result in low coolant flow and overheating.

14.Check the water temperature regulator. A watertemperature regulator that does not open, ora water temperature regulator that only openspart of the way can cause overheating. Refer toSystems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, “WaterTemperature Regulator - Test”.

15.Check the water pump. A water pump with adamaged impeller does not pump enough coolantfor correct engine cooling. Remove the waterpump and check for damage to the impeller. Referto Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting,“Water Pump - Test”.

16.Check the air flow through the enginecompartment. The air flow through the radiatorcomes out of the engine compartment. Ensurethat the filters, air conditioner, and similar itemsare not installed in a way that prevents the freeflow of air through the engine compartment.

17.Check the aftercooler. A restriction of air flowthrough the air to air aftercooler (if equipped) cancause overheating. Check for debris or depositswhich would prevent the free flow of air throughthe aftercooler.

18.Consider high outside temperatures. Whenoutside temperatures are too high for the ratingof the cooling system, there is not enough of atemperature difference between the outside airand coolant temperatures.

19.Consider high altitude operation. The coolingcapacity of the cooling system goes down asthe engine is operated at higher altitudes. Apressurized cooling system that is large enough tokeep the coolant from boiling must be used.

i02788851

Cooling System - Inspect

Cooling systems that are not regularly inspected arethe cause for increased engine temperatures. Makea visual inspection of the cooling system before anytests 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 pressurebefore 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”.

2. Check the quality of the coolant. The coolantshould 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 system and flush the system. Refillthe cooling system with the correct mixture ofwater, antifreeze, and coolant conditioner. Referto Operation and Maintenance Manual, “FluidRecommendations”.

3. Look for leaks in the system.

Note: A small amount of coolant leakage acrossthe surface of the water pump seals is normal. Thisleakage is required in order to provide lubrication forthis type of seal. A hole is provided in the water pumphousing in order to allow this coolant/seal lubricantto drain from the pump housing. Intermittent leakageof small amounts of coolant from this hole is not anindication of water pump seal failure.

4. Ensure that the air flow through the radiator doesnot have a restriction. Look for bent core finsbetween the folded cores of the radiator. Also, lookfor 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 coolingsystem.

8. Inspect the filler cap, and check the surface thatseals the filler cap. This surface must be clean.

This engine has a pressure type cooling system. Apressure type cooling system has two advantages.The cooling system can be operated in a safe mannerat a temperature higher than the normal boiling point(steam) of water.

This type of system prevents cavitation in the waterpump. Cavitation is the forming of low pressurebubbles in liquids that are caused by mechanicalforces. It is difficult to create a pocket of air in thistype of cooling system.

g00921815Illustration 33Boiling point of water

Remember that temperature and pressure worktogether. When a diagnosis is made of a coolingsystem problem, temperature and pressure must bechecked. Cooling system pressure will have an effecton the cooling system temperature. For an example,refer to Illustration 33. This will show the effect ofpressure on the boiling point (steam) of water. Thiswill also show the effect of height above sea level.

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steamand alkali.

At operating temperature, engine coolant is hotand under pressure. The radiator and all linesto heaters or the engine contain hot coolant orsteam. Any contact can cause severe burns.

Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure onlywhen engine is stopped and radiator cap is coolenough to touch with your bare hand.

Cooling SystemConditioner contains alkali. Avoidcontact with skin and eyes.

The coolant level must be to the correct level in orderto check the coolant system. The engine must becold and the engine must not be running.

After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure capin order to relieve the pressure out of the coolingsystem. Then remove the pressure cap.

The level of the coolant should not be more than13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. Ifthe cooling system is equipped with a sight glass,the coolant should be to the proper level in the sightglass.

Electrical Systemi02801089

Battery - Test

Most of the tests of the electrical system can be doneon the engine. The wiring insulation must be in goodcondition. The wire and cable connections must beclean, and both components must be tight.

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 chargingunit. The load is variable because of the condition ofthe charge in the battery.

NOTICEThe charging unit will be damaged if the connectionsbetween the battery and the charging unit are brokenwhile the battery is being charged. Damage occursbecause the load from the battery is lost and becausethere is an increase in charging voltage. High voltagewill damage the charging unit, the regulator, and otherelectrical components.

i02813962

Charging System - Test

Note: This procedure is only applicable if a chargingsystem is installed.

The condition of charge in the battery at each regularinspection will indicate whether the charging systemoperates correctly. An adjustment is necessary whenthe battery is constantly in a low condition of chargeor a large amount of water is needed.

Test the charging unit and the voltage regulator onthe engine. Use wiring and components that are apermanent part of the system. This testing will give anindication of needed repair. After repairs are made,perform a test in order to prove that the units havebeen repaired to the original condition of operation.

To check for correct output of the alternator, refer toSpecifications.

Before the start of on-engine testing, the chargingsystem and the battery must be checked accordingto the following steps.

1. The battery must be at least 75 percent (1.225 SpGr) of the full charge. The battery must be heldtightly in place. The battery holder must not puttoo much stress on the battery.

2. Cables between the battery, the starter, and theengine ground must be the correct size. Wiresand cables must be free of corrosion. Wires andcables must have cable support clamps in order toprevent stress on battery connections (terminals).

3. Leads, junctions, switches, and panel instrumentsthat have direct relation to the charging circuitprovide correct circuit control.

4. Inspect the drive components for the charging unitin order to be sure that the components are free ofgrease and oil. Be sure that the drive componentshave the ability to operate the charging unit.

i02801092

Electric Starting System - Test

Most of the tests of the electrical system can bedone on the engine. The wiring insulation must bein good condition. The wire and cable connectionsmust be clean, and both components must be tight.The battery must be fully charged. If the on-enginetest shows a defect in a component, remove thecomponent for more testing.

The starting system consists of the following fourcomponents:

• Keyswitch

• Start relay

• Starting motor solenoid

• Starting motor

Trouble with the starting system could be causedby the battery or by charging system problems. Ifthe battery is suspect, refer to Troubleshooting,“Battery”. If the starting system is suspect, refer toTroubleshooting, “Engine Will Not Crank”.
