Scania’s versatile engine design
759 Scania claims that field test of its latest engine designs show that the units meet all the emission and noise requirements of Tier 4 Final/Stage IV. The tests are said to have highlighted the robust nature of these engines in an array of challenging, off-highway working cycles and applications. The company has tested the engines in applications such as excavators, wheel loaders, crushers and dump trucks. Scania’s technology to minimise emissions includes key features as extra-high-pressure injection (Scania XPI), exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). A sophisticated control system optimises a large number of engine parameters, with different modes that combine the amount of fuel, injection timing and settings of the variable geometry turbocharger. This controller ensures that the mix of air and recirculated exhaust is combined with the correct amount of urea solution AdBlue.

For the EGR system the controller balances the ratio between the air and recirculated to minimise particulate emissions. It also prevents the engine from running too cold as this will reduce SCR efficiency and increase NOx as a result. The company claims that the new engine management system to switch very rapidly between the different operating modes, while also helping to minimise fuel consumption.

  • Increased versatility is offered by the new Doosan wheeled excavators
    January 31, 2013
    Aimed at the 14tonne and 16tonne classes, the new Doosan DX140W-3 and DX160W-3 wheeled excavators are said to offer major performance gains over the models being replaced. As with the firm’s new crawler excavators, new cabs provide a more comfortable working environment, with improved controls and ergonomics and in-cab noise levels that are reduced by 5dBA. Both machines are powered by the proven Doosan DL06KB diesel, which delivers a 2% increase in power to 102kW and a 12% increase in torque over the previ

    January 6, 2017
    The Cummins Engine stand this year’s Bauma will be dominated by one of the largest engines at the show, alongside one of the smallest. The firm will show a 37kW (49hp) 2.8-litre QSF2.8 alongside its giant QSK95, which delivers 3,130kW (4,200hp). These two engine highlight extensions to both ends of the Cummins offering, one of the broadest in the industry that is capable of meeting the coming Stage IV/Tier 4 Final emissions legislation.

  • JCB engine uses ‘mini-SCR’ to meet Tier 4 Final
    January 6, 2017
    JCB says its Ecomax Stage 4/Tier 4 Final engine can be engineered into many existing machines without needing additional space by using a ‘one can’ selective catalytic reduction (SCR). According to the company’s chief technology officer, Tim Burnhope, in many cases the mini SCR on the Stage 4/Tier 4 Final Ecomax engine can be positioned in the same space occupied by the exhaust silencer on previous generations. He said, “Our engine is already so clean that we only need 2% to 3% of urea, which allows us to u
