In summary: This heavy‑duty engine delivers 1194 kW max power / 5966 N·m peak torque, with continuous ratings of 933 kW / 5071 N·m. Key features include high rail pressure (986 kPa), BMEP up to 1489 kPa, and robust cooling (720 kW heat rejection). Built for industrial, marine or power generation applications.
Maximum Temperature Rise Ambient → Engine Inlet
15 °C temperature differential limit
Maximum allowable temperature rise between ambient air and engine air inlet. Exceeding 15 °C reduces air density, impairs combustion, lowers power output and increases emissions. Ensure charge air cooling keeps rise ≤15 °C.
Maintain inlet air temp ≤ ambient +15 °C to preserve full load performance.
Intake Restriction (Medium Duty) Dry type + Clean filter
2.9 kPa (300 mmH₂O)
Maximum intake restriction with dry type air cleaner and clean filter – Medium duty. Suitable for moderate load continuous operation (e.g. on‑highway trucks, light industrial equipment). Ensures adequate airflow and minimises pumping losses.
If restriction exceeds 2.9 kPa with a clean filter, inspect intake system.
Intake Restriction (Heavy Duty) Dry type + Clean filter
3.7 kPa (380 mmH₂O)
Maximum intake restriction with dry type air cleaner and clean filter – Heavy duty. Designed for mining, high‑load continuous applications with high air flow demand. Limits pressure drop while protecting turbocharger efficiency.
Heavy‑duty operation allows slightly higher restriction; periodic monitoring still required.
Intake Restriction (Dirty Filter) Service threshold
6.2 kPa (635 mmH₂O)
Maximum allowable intake restriction with a severely clogged (dirty) filter. Reaching this value requires immediate filter cleaning or replacement. Exceeding 6.2 kPa causes power loss, black smoke, increased fuel consumption, and potential turbocharger damage.
Service recommendation: replace or clean filter before restriction approaches 6.2 kPa.
Intake Limits – Summary Key maintenance guidelines
Temperature rise ≤ 15 °C   |  Clean filter: Medium duty ≤2.9 kPa / Heavy duty ≤3.7 kPa
Dirty filter limit: 6.2 kPa (immediate service required)
Intake air temperature and restriction directly affect combustion efficiency, exhaust smoke, and turbocharger life. Strictly control the temperature rise from ambient to engine inlet (15 °C) and monitor filter differential pressure according to duty cycle:
• Medium duty, clean filter ≤ 2.9 kPa (300 mmH₂O)
• Heavy duty, clean filter ≤ 3.7 kPa (380 mmH₂O)
• Dirty filter warning threshold 6.2 kPa (635 mmH₂O)
Adhering to these limits and performing regular filter maintenance ensures optimum engine performance, fuel economy, and reliability over the entire life cycle.
Applicable to heavy‑duty trucks, construction machinery, gensets, and marine propulsion. Regular air filter replacement prevents restriction exceedance.
