Turbochargers compress the air so that more oxygen flows into the combustion chamber. In this way, more fuel is burned and the power output of the engine increases accordingly.
A common fuel pipeline supplies all the engine’s fuel injectors with fuel. With this, the combustion process can be optimized to achieve low pollutant levels combined with lower fuel consumption.
The brain of a modern engine is the electronic control unit. It monitors and controls all the key functions of the engine and the exhaust aftertreatment system and also acts as the interface to the vehicle’s automation system. MTU develops and manufactures this key technology in-house.
With exhaust gas recirculation some of the exhaust gas is cooled and then redirected back into the charge air. This results in the reduction of the combustion temperature and less nitrogen oxide is produced.
If in-engine measures alone are not enough to reduce emissions to the extent demanded by ever-stricter emissions regulations, a diesel particulate filter can be used for removing most soot particles from the exhaust gas.
If in-engine measures alone are not enough to reduce emissions to the extent demanded by ever-stricter emissions regulations, a chemical reaction called selective catalytic reduction can be introduced which converts pollutant nitrates into water and nitrogen.
