3.5 ENGINE SYSTEMS AND ITS FUNCTION:
As we all know, Diesel engine is a prime mover developing useful power. Air and fuel is required to produce
power. Lubrication is necessary for the moving parts of the engine. Continuous cooling is required to
dissipate heat generated during combustion. Electrical system is required for engine starting, battery
charging and sensing of critical engine operating parameters.
The construction of Eicher diesel engine is divided in to five parts as below.
1 Air intake and Exhaust System

2 Lubrication System
3 Fuel System
4 Cooling System
5 Electrical System
The below section provides details of function, key components and working principle of respective system
to understand better about Engine aspects.
3.5.1 AIR INTAKE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM
TURBO CHARGED INTERCOOLED ENGINES:
The function of air system is to supply clean, cool and sufficient quantity air required for proper combustion
of the fuel which results in designed power output of the engine and maintains emissions as per statutory
norms.
Air intake system facilitates cleaning of air, induction of air, compression of air through turbocharger and
cooling by intercooler.
Air is sucked from atmosphere and passed through the Air filter to restrict dust and other foreign particles
from entering into air intake system. Clean air is then induced and compressed by the turbocharger
compressor wheel. Turbocharger increases the temperature of the air. This high temperature air is then
passed through an intercooler which decreases its temperature. As air inducted cools down its density is
11

further increased. Due to more air with desired density of air inducted into the engine there will be complete
combustion resulting in:
• Increase in power and torque without increasing the size of the engine.
• Improves fuel economy.
• Reduce engine noise.
• More complete combustion resulting in cleaner emission
TURBO CHARGED ENGINES:
In turbo charged engines, intercooler will not be present. The Compressed air from turbo charger will be
directly inducted into the combustion chamber. The combustion parameters will be designed to suit the air
temperature inducted in to the combustion chamber and accordingly desired quantity of fuel will be
supplied to ensure better fuel economy and complete combustion to achieve emission characteristics.
AIR FILTER:
Air filter is fitted on the Suction Side. It is paper cartridge dry type air filter comprising of inner and outer
element. Air filter prevents dust and other foreign particles entering into the air inlet system. The restriction
Indicator fitted on the filter gives indication when air filter gets clogged.
Do not run the engine with clogged air filter. Clogged air filter reduces
power output, fuel efficiency; higher exhaust emissions and affects
engine performance.
Air filter outer element shall be cleaned whenever the restriction

indicator gives indication. There are limitations for cleaning as
frequent cleaning affects air filter filtration efficiency. Follow the
recommendation for cleaning procedures and permissible number of
cleaning.
The inner element should not be cleaned and it should be replaced.
Never run the engine without air filter. Running without air filter will cause foreign object entering into air
system and results in turbocharger and engine failures.
TURBO CHARGER:
The exhaust gases discharged from the combustion chamber are driven out through the exhaust manifold
into the turbo charger and accelerated in the turbine housing to turn the turbine wheel driving away the
Exhaust gases through the muffler to the atmosphere.
Simultaneously, the compressor wheel mounted on the same shaft spins at the designed speeds. The
centrifugal action draws air from air cleaner and builds up the boost pressure in the intake system.
12

SILENCER:
Silencer is used to reduce the noise of exhaust gas /

Smoke.
The exhaust gas is sent through a number of small holes

provided inside the silencer which results in sudden
expansion of exhaust gases.
This results in reduction in exhaust noise.
For specific applications like Power Generation residential

mufflers are used to achieve reduction in noise levels.
INTER COOLER (APPLICABLE FOR TURBO CHARGED INTERCOOLED ENGINES):
Compressed hot air from turbocharger flows through the

tubes of intercooler.
Pusher type radiator cooling fan charges Cold air through the
intercooler fins carries away the heat from compressed hot air
flowing through the intercooler tubes thereby reducing the
temperature of air to the designed temperature levels. This
compressed cold air rushes in to the combustion chamber.
13

3.5.2 LUBRICATION SYSTEM:
The engine has a forced lubrication system. The main functions of the Lubrication systems are as follows:
• Lubricates moving engine parts by forming a thin film of oil between components and prevents
metal to metal contact
• This oil film is capable of absorbing shocks in Con-rod Bearings and Gear train
• Flowing oil absorbs heat and cools engine parts
• Oil also collects carbon & metal particles formed during engine operation and flows it to the oil pan
• Oil neutralizes the acids and alkali produced during engine operation & prevents corrosion
• Seals compression by forming a thin oil film on cylinder liner walls

4A. Oil bypass alarm 8B. Idler bushing 14. Pressure control valve 22.Fuel Pump
The oil required for lubricating the engine parts is sucked by the oil pump from the sump through the
strainer.
The pressurised engine oil is then sent to oil cooler, where the oil is cooled and then it is sent to the oil filter
for filtration.
The filtered oil is then sent to all engine parts through main oil gallery. By pass oil filter is provided for fine
filtration.
LUBE OIL PUMP:
The oil pump is of gear type and is driven by the skew gear
mounted on the camshaft.
The oil pump cover also serves as the oil filter head, requiring no
oil pipe.
Engine oil is pressurised to the required pressure by the oil pump
and sent to various parts for lubrication and cooling.
15

OIL COOLER:
Shell type oil cooler facilitates heat dissipation from engine
lubricating oil and maintains engine lubricating oil temperature and
viscosity to the desired levels.
The Pressurised oil from oil pump is sent into the oil cooler for
cooling the hot engine oil. The coolant from the cylinder block is
passed through oil cooler element, which takes away the heat from
the engine oil.
LUBE OIL FILTER:
The full flow barrel type paper filter removes carbon and fine metal
particles formed during normal operation of engine. The filtered oil
is sent to Main oil gallery.
BY PASS FILTER:
The Spin on type by pass filter mounted on engine block through

adopter which has a small orifice is used for fine filtration of
lubricating oil.
The bypass filter allows a portion of main gallery oil to flow

through it & back to the oil pan through an adopter having a small
orifice.
During replacement the whole filter to be replaced
TURBO CHRAGER LUBRICATION:
Oil from oil main gallery flows through the oil tube to bearing housing
of turbocharger to lubricate bearing and is returned through the
outlet tube at the bottom of the bearing housing through the crank
case and to the oil pan.
16

FUEL INJECTION PUMP LUBRICATION:
Oil from oil gallery flows through benzo tube to FIP & lubricates
camshaft and governor mechanism and then drained to the oil
sump from the FIP gear side of FIP housing.
Pipe Lubrication - FIP
3.5.3 FUEL SYSTEM:
The function of fuel system is to feed the engine with clean and sufficient quantity of fuel as per designed
requirements.
Fuel Tank Feed pump Fuel Filter Fuel Injection Pump Injection
Nozzle Return line Diesel tank
The fuel system consists of the injection pump, fuel filter, injection nozzle, injection pipe and other parts. Fuel
is fed from the fuel tank through suction pipe to the feed pump of the fuel injection pump assembly and then to
the fuel filter, injection pump and injection nozzle.
The excess fuel is returned from the Nozzle to injection pump and to the fuel tank.
17

WATER SEPARATION FROM FUEL:
The air moisture trapped inside the fuel tank gets condensed during night time, becomes water and mixes
with diesel. If this water is allowed to flow through the fuel system it can damage the FIP and nozzle.
Since the engines are used for power generation application which is operated under stationery condition,
the fuel tank acts as water separator. The foreign particles in fuel are collected as sediments in fuel tank
bottom and water in fuel are collected at the bottom of the fuel tank. Ensure periodical draining of water
from fuel tank through the drain plug provided in the fuel tank.
Ensure periodical cleaning of Fuel tank to make it free from Sediments.
Do not top up fuel in fuel tank when the engine is under operation as the process will allow sediments and
water to float and gets carried away along with fuel. Always top up fuel in fuel tank when the engine is not in
operation. Wait for few minutes and allow sometime for sediments and water to settle at the bottom of the
fuel tank before starting the engine.
FEED PUMP:
The feed pump is driven by the Fuel injection pump

camshaft.
The priming pump allows manual lift of fuel when the

injection pump is stationary. It may be used when bleeding
the system.
The gauze filter removes large particles of dust from the fuel
lifted from the fuel tank, preventing the feed pump from
getting clogged. The filter must be washed in clean diesel
periodically.
FUEL FILTER:
The fuel from the feed pump is supplied to fuel filter for filtration. The dual filter is of element type and
replaceable individually.
18

Fuel from feed pump flows into the outer side of the filter housing and filtered by the element and supplied
to the fuel injection pump. The above diagram shows the flow path of fuel in fuel filter.
FUEL INJECTION PUMP:
The Bosch in line type fuel injection pump is used. The injection
pump, that forces fuel into the injection nozzle under pressure is
provided with a mechanism to increase or decrease the amount of
fuel. It has one plunger and delivery valve for each cylinder.
The plunger pushed up by the camshaft and pushed back by the

plunger spring, moves up and down in the plunger barrel on a
predetermined stroke to feed fuel under pressure. In doing so it
opens and closes the suction and discharge ports to adjust the fuel
injection rate.
The Constant speed governor of the fuel injection pump is capable of holding rated speed steadily
irrespective of variation in loads.
INJECTION NOZZLE:
The injection nozzles are of the hole type. The fuel delivered from
the injection pump enters the nozzle holder. When it reaches the
specified pressure value, the fuel overcomes the spring force to push
up the needle valve of the nozzle tip, spraying from the injection
orifice at the end of nozzle into the cylinder.
The injection pressure can be adjusted by increasing or

decreasing the number of washers in the spring.
19

3.5.4 COOLING SYSTEM:
The function of the cooling system is to absorb and dissipate heat generated during combustion thereby
maintaining engine coolant temperature as per designed parameters. To ensure the same the engine is
cooled by forced circulation of coolant by the water pump. Radiator cooling fan driven by the V Belt from the
water pump pulley charges cold air through the radiator fins which carries away the heat from the coolant.
This continuous process of circulation and heat dissipation ensures the operating temperature of the engine
is maintained.
The coolant temperature around the combustion chamber should be maintained at optimum levels for
satisfactory performance of the engine. It takes more time to achieve the desired operating temperatures at
low ambient temperatures, engine warm up periods and light loading conditions. Hence a thermostat is
installed in the cooling system which controls the coolant temperature around the combustion chamber to
the desired level all times during engine operation.
WATER PUMP:
The water pump is of centrifugal type and it is
driven by the V-belt from the crankshaft
pulley. A unit seal is installed between the
impeller and Water pump to prevent leakage
of coolant. There is drain hole provided at the
bottom of the water pump case which
ensures that coolant, should it leak from the
unit seal, does not enter the bearings. The
water pump is mounted on the timing gear
case provided with a suction pipe and swirl
chamber. Pressed into one end of the water
pump shaft is the impeller with backward
blades which feeds coolant under pressure
into the engine.
20

THERMOSTAT:
The thermostat is of a bottom bypass configuration, has a
valve controlled by a special wax enclosed in a pellet. The
wax changes from solid to liquid as it is heated, involving
volumetric change for regulating the flow of coolant.
The changes in the valve position with varying coolant

temperatures regulate the flow rate of coolant into the
radiator and water pump (bypass side), thus controlling
coolant temperature
RADIATOR:
The radiator, with a tube-and-corrugated-fin type core, not

only cools the engine coolant but also separates vapour
from liquid water and regulates pressure in the cooling
system.
The radiator is of simple closed type, equipped with a

pressure cap. The reservoir tank is open to atmosphere. The
coolant overflowing from the radiator is therefore stored in
the reservoir full with coolant at all times.
RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP:
The pressure cap regulates the pressure in the cooling system. When the pressure builds up exceeding the
predetermined level, the pressure valve compresses the pressure spring relieving the excessive pressure to
the atmosphere. As the coolant temperature falls forming a vacuum in the radiator, the vent valve opens to
admit air into the radiator, thus preventing the radiator from being deformed by the vacuum.
21

32

ENGINE FUEL FEED PUMP GAUZE FILTER CLEANING:
Since the fuel from fuel tank is passed first through feed pump, due to
suction process foreign particles / dust from Fuel if allowed through the
fuel system affects the reliability of Fuel injection pump components.
Hence a gauze filter (Baby Filter) is provided at the inlet side of fuel pump
which filters any foreign particles/dust that is being is passed through it.
Remove the filter by unscrewing the Banjo Bolt and clean with diesel as
per recommendation.
Feed Pump Gauze Filter
ENGINE AIR FILTER ELEMENT INSPECTION AND CLEANING:
Remove the Air cleaner assy cover.
Loosen the nut and remove the Primary air

filter element.
Remove air cleaner safety cartridge.
Visually inspect both the filters for clogging /

tear of element.
If there are thin portions in the filter paper,

replace the element. If the sealing of the air
filter element is found damaged, replace
element.
If there is dry dust on the element, clean the dust by blowing 7 Kg/cm² or
lower compressed air against the element.
Blow the compressed air from inside the element up and down along the
frills of the filter paper and clean the whole element evenly.
After the element has been cleaned, put an electric lamp inside the element
to check for damage and pin holes.
If the element is contaminated with moist soot, replace it regard less of the
specified replacement frequency.
33

CAUTION! :
 Do not strike the element or strike it against a hard object to remove dust.
 Primary Element Should be removed for cleaning only when Choke switch provides alarm.
 Clean only the primary filter element. The safety Element should never be cleaned but only
replaced at the recommended intervals.
 Frequent cleaning of elements will only result in damage to the paper, sealing washers and
rings and wing nut which will ease the entry of unfiltered air into the engine. It will thus
reduce the air cleaning efficiency of the element leading to serious engine damage.
CHOKE INDICATOR:
The choke indicator functioning shall be confirmed after starting the engine and
closing the inlet port of air cleaner assy gradually to increase negative pressure. The
Choke switch will covert to NC and send signal to the stop relay there by
commanding the stop solenoid to shut off the engine.
If it does not stop the engine then replace the Choke switch.
Choke Switch
ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT:
In order to prevent corrosion of the cooling system, it is

recommended to add coolant at a ratio 50:50 of quantity
of water.
A drain cock is provided at the bottom tank of the radiator

for draining coolant from the engine.
Unscrew the drain cock and drain the coolant. Secure the
drain cock in its position after draining.
Remove Pressure cap and fill the recommended coolant as

per ratio through the Pressure cap opening.
Allow sufficient time for the coolant to get filled as air will
be removed from the engine slowly during the coolant refilling process.
With pressure cap removed from the radiator, allow the engine to run at idle with coolant temperature of
90°C to bleed the system completely.
After the system is bled with air, add recommended coolant to radiator as required.

INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF VALVE CLEARENCE:
Valve clearance adjustment should be performed when the engine is cold. The engine was warm while
performing the maintenance activities as the engine was started before starting the maintenance activities.
The engine will become cooler by the time lubricating oil and filter replacements were completed.
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold by using the following procedure.
1 Remove the inspection cover on the flywheel housing.

You will observe a pointer is fitted on the flywheel
housing and also access to the flywheel periphery.
2 Remove the Rocker cover.
3 Crank the engine with cranking handle (Standard tool) in

the direction of engine rotation (Anti clockwise when
viewed from Flywheel End).
4 Align the TDC Mark with the pointer.
5 Check the cylinder no 1 valves for freeness (The Push rod

of No 1 Cylinder not pushing the intake and exhaust valves). This confirms that Cylinder No 1
piston is at TDC position of the compression stroke.
6 Perform valve clearance adjustment as per the table given below. The nominal value is 0.4 mm.
36

7 Install the specified thickness gauge
between the rocker and valve cap to check
for clearance.
8 If the valve clearance is out of nominal

value, loosen the lock nut and turn the
adjusting screw to the extent that the
thickness gauge moves slightly tight.
9 After adjustment hold the adjusting screw

in position with a screw driver and tighten
to secure the lock nut.
10 Recheck the valve clearance with the

thickness gauge.
11 Rotate the engine one full turn and bring

the Cylinder no 4 piston to compression
stroke and perform the valve clearance
adjustment for other Cylinder as per table
given above.
12 Assemble the rocker cover assembly.
ENGINE STARTING AFTER MAINTENANCE:
Before starting the engine, ensure tightness all fasteners, Lubricating oil level and coolant level. The fuel
systems needs bleeding of air and proceed as below.
The feed pump has a hand primer arrangement for the purpose.
Turn the feed pump primer counter clockwise until it becomes loose.
Loosen the air plug of the fuel filter.
Move the hand primer up and down by hand to feed fuel until air bubbles do
not come out from the fuel filter air plug.
When no air bubbles come out along with fuel, tighten the air plug. Press the
hand primer down and turn clockwise until it fits into its position.
Wipe out spilled fuel around the fuel filter and floor.
Actuate Starter to discharge air from Fuel Injection Pump.
