An electronic control system supervises and governs all engine parameters to optimise performance and fuel consumption by means of a real-time response to different operation conditions.Diesel engines are equipped with a COMMON RAIL injection system.This features the use of an electronically controlled high injection pressure. The delivery of fuel, known as pilot injection, is optimized by the electronic control unit by means of the injector, rather than being managed by the pump.In this 4 valve per cylinder version, the common rail injection system uses Multijet technology, i.e. during each engine stroke, it carries out more than the two injections normally used: it performs two pre-injections (before the piston is at top dead centre), one main and two post-injections.This solution improves fuel consumption, emissions, noise levels and performance because it allows better temperature control in the combustion chamber by lowering the maximum value and extending the optimum combustion area.Depending on the signals received from numerous sensors, the control unit controls the injectors connected to it, managing the following systems:- fuel supply;- air supply;- heater plugs;- accelerator pedal;- engine cooling;- fuel pre-heating;- emission control (lambda sensor or particulate filter control)To respect the latest emissions control regulation (EURO 4), the most recent electronic on-board management version is used, comprising new components (injectors, pressure regulator and high pressure pump, digital debimeter) and the adoption of a lambda sensor.As an alternative to the lambda sensor, the option of a particulate filter is offered.The DPF particulate filter (Diesel Particulate Filter) is a mechanical filter, inserted in the exhaust pipes, which traps the carbon particles present in the exhaust gases from diesel engines. The filter makes it possible to almost totally eliminate the emission of carbon particles in line with current legislation. See E5070 PARTICLE FILTER SYSTEM For more details, See descriptions 1060 DIESEL INJECTION SYSTEM The system is also controlled by dedicated relays in the engine compartment control unit. Lines supplying the control unit and various system components (sensors and actuators) are protected by dedicated fuses that are also located inside the engine compartment.
