223002901 - E5050 DIESEL ENGINES ELECTRONIC MANAGEMENT - DESCRIPTION

Description

An electronic management system supervises and governs all engine parameters. It optimises performance and fuel consumption by responding in real time to different service conditions.The Diesel engine is fitted with a LUCAS EPIC rotary distributor type injection system. This features the pumping/distribution principle which ensures the supply to the injectors, the fuel metering and the injection advance.

The system uses signals received from numerous sensors to control actuators. It is connected to the following systems:

  • air supply;
  • heater plugs;
  • exhaust gas recirculation (EGR);
  • engine cooling.
The system is also controlled by means of special relays located in the engine compartment junction unit.The supply lines for the control unit and the various system components (sensors and actuators) are protected by special fuses, also located in the above mentioned junction unit.
