Measuring Micrometer usage Different types
A micrometer is used when greater accuracy is required - e.g. measuring shim thickness. Different types are available - e.g. for measuring inside dimensions, outside dimensions or depth. Different measurement ranges are available - e.g. 0 - 25 mm, 25 - 50 mm, 50 - 75 mm. All micrometers have a friction thimble, which should always be used to move in the spindle without applying too much force. The clamp is insulated to prevent heat from your hand influencing the measurement.
When using:
- avoid touching the measuring spindle. - zero the micrometer before use - before removing the micrometer from the object, lock the spindle. 19

Measuring A micrometer has two scales: - a main scale on the sleeve. The sleeve top scale (1) is in increments of 0.5 mm - the bottom scale (2) is in increments of 1.0 mm. - a rotating Vernier scale (3) on the counter. Micrometer accuracy
On micrometers we normally use, the Vernier scale (3) is in increments of 0.01 mm - so this is the accuracy of this micrometer. One complete turn of the counter represents 0.50 mm, so two full turns are required to close the jaws by 1.00 mm.

Measuring Taking a reading
1. Note the last graduation visible on the lower main scale, immediately to the left of the counter. 2. If a graduation is visible on the upper main scale, this represents 0.5 mm, and must be added to the total. 3. Note the reading from the Vernier scale. 4. Add all readings together. In the above example: The last graduation visible to the left of the counter on the shank lower scale is 2.00 mm A 0.50 mm graduation is visible to the left of the counter on the shank upper scale. The vernier scale is reading 0.35 mm. Added together, these = a total measurement of - 2.85 mm.

Engine Data Mass
Mass is the measure of how much matter an object or body contains - i.e. the total number of electrons, protons and neutrons. Mass is important when calculating rate of acceleration.
Force
Force is a measure of pressure applied to an object. Force does not require the object to move. Force is measured in Newtons (N) or pounds (lb).
Work
Work is force in motion. For work to be performed, the object must move. The measure of work is the weight of the object and the distance moved - WORK = force x distance: footpound (ft-lb). E.g. Work done to raise a load of 600 lb to a height of 6 ft = 3600 ft-lb.
Power
Power is the rate or speed at which work is done. The more power that is generated, the more work is done in a given time. 45

Engine Data Torque
1Nm = 0.737 lb-ft 1lb-ft = 0.113 Nm
Horsepower
Torque is one way to measure work. Torque is a measurement of rotational or twisting force expressed in units of force multiplied by the distance from the axis of rotation. E.g. a force of 10 lb applied to the end of a lever 1 foot long, results in a torque of 10 lb-ft. Torque is measured in Newton-metre (Nm), or pound feet lb-ft During early observations, James Watt found that one average horse could raise 33,000 lb by 1 foot in 1 minute: 1 horsepower is the amount of power needed to perform 33,000 ft-lb of work in 1 minute. Depending on where and how it is measured, several versions of horsepower can be found:

Engine Data Indicated horsepower - IHP
Brake horsepower - BHP
Road/effective horsepower
Indicated horsepower is the power resulting from pressures developed in the cylinders. IHP takes no account of ʻfrictionalʼ losses which occur inside the engine, and in engine driven components. Brake horsepower is the useable power available at the engine flywheel - IHP minus engine frictional losses. BHP is calculated from the torque measured by an engine dynamometer, in which a ʻbrakeʼ applies a load to a shaft connected to the flywheel. BHP is commonly used to specify and compare engine power outputs. In metric units, power is expressed in kiloWatt (kW). Road, or effective, horsepower is the useable power available at the driving road wheels - BHP minus transmission frictional losses.

Camshaft & valve mechanism Timing gears
D9A
All engine timing gears are ʻhelicalʼ cut - i.e. the shape of each tooth is part of a helix or spiral. Helical cut gears are used primarily because they run more quietly than straight cut or ʻspurʼ gears. A disadvantage is that the teeth are always subject to an axial force. 1 - camshaft 2 - camshaft bearing 3 - inlet cam 4 - injector cam 5 - exhaust cam

Lubrication systems D12C - valve functions
1. Regulator valve - controls the engine oil pressure; excess oil is fed back to the sump. 2. Overflow valve - opens if by-pass filter (8) becomes blocked. This ensures continued lubrication for the turbocharger. 3. Piston cooling valve - is pressure sensitive, and opens just above normal idling oil pressure. 4. Overflow valve - opens if full flow filter (7) becomes blocked. This ensures continued lubrication for the engine. 5. Over pressure valve - opens if the pressure becomes too high - e.g. cold weather start. 6. By-pass valve - opens to allow oil to by-pass the oil cooler during warm up. This ensures that oil is delivered as soon as possible, and warm up time is reduced. The valve is thermostatically controlled by sensing oil temperature.

Lubrication systems D12C - system operation
Gear driven pump (14) forces oil through full flow filter (7) and by-pass filter (8), via oil cooler (12).
From the filters, oil is fed to the main gallery in the cylinder block and from there via channels to all components needing lubrication. Oil reaches the camshaft and valve mechanism via vertical channels in the cylinder block and cylinder head. If the engine is fitted with a Volvo Compression Brake (VCB), oil passes through regulating valve (11). Compressor (9) is lubricated via an external hose connected to the filter housing. Turbocharger (10) is lubricated via an external hose connected to the by-pass filter.

D7C - system operation
Note: The D7C oil pump differs from other Volvo engine pumps: it has three gears and two outlets. One outlet is for the main lubrication system, and the other is for the piston cooling system. Oil from pump outlet (7) is fed to the bottom of the cylinder block, via a pipe, and then to full flow filter (8). From the filter, oil is fed to the main gallery in the cylinder block and from there via channels to all components needing lubrication. Oil from pump outlet (14) is fed to the oil cooler, via a pipe, and then to piston cooling channel (12). From valve (2) on the full flow filter bracket, oil is fed to bypass filter (9); excess oil returns to the sump. Oil for lubrication of the compressor, injection pump (11), and turbocharger (10) is supplied via external pipes. 71

Lubrication systems Oil cooler and cover D12C/D
By increasing the number of discs (1) from six to seven, the oil cooling capacity has been increased. This results in increased depth (A). A new cover (2) has a smooth exterior because the reinforcement ribs are now on the inside. CAUTION Do not fit the new cover to the early type oil cooler: this will reduce coolant flow through the cooler. Note: The oil cooler is a common area where leaks can allow oil and water to mix.

The main differences on D12 D500 TC are around the oil filter housing. The turbo-compound unit is lubricated with oil from the bypass filter via hose (1). The turbocharger is lubricated with oil from the full flow filter via hose (2). The piston cooling system is optimised and controlled by two slide valves. Valve (3) is a control valve that provides a constant piston cooling pressure, regardless of engine speed. D9A has the same feature. Valve (4) is a pressure sensing on-off valve.

Fuel systems D6A fuel system
This is a conventional fuel system using full mechanical operation. The fuel injection pump (FIP) is driven from the timing gear train, via a mechanical injection timing adjuster. Fuel lift pump (1) draws fuel from tank (2) through strainer (3). Pressurised fuel is fed through two fuel filters (4), and into FIP (5). FIP (5) delivers fuel at high pressure to each injector (6). Excess fuel from the injectors returns to pressure regulating valve (7) on the return side of the system. This fuel returns to the tank with excess fuel from the FIP.

With the exception of D6A180, all D6A engines have an injection timing adjuster assembly (1), which is attached directly to the pump camshaft. (On D6A180, the adjuster assembly is replaced by an intermediate shaft). The fuel injection pump (FIP) mounting flange is attached to the adjuster assembly housing (2). The adjuster housing is attached to the engine timing gear housing (3). FIP drive gear (4) has oval holes for attachment screws (5), to allow adjustment of injection timing. Cover (6) is removed to gain access to screws (5). The instruments used for adjustment and testing of injection timing receive their signals from indicator (7). For final attachment adjustment the rear support bracket (8) is in two parts. CAUTION To prevent tension at the attachment points, the FIP must be refitted in accordance with service instructions in IMPACT. 87

Adjuster hub (1) is attached to the fuel injection pump (FIP) camshaft. The FIP drive gear is attached to outer connecting flange (2). Hub (1) and flange (2) can move angularly in relation to each other. This angular movement (timing adjustment) is regulated by eccentric bushes (3) and (5). Large bushes (3) are attached to stub shafts (4) which are part of centrifugal weights (7). Small bushes (5) are located in large bushes (3). Stub shafts (6), which are part of small bushes (5), locate in flange (2). Outward movement of weights (7) is regulated by springs (8). Indicator (9), for monitoring injection timing, is attached to hub (1).

Diagram (A) shows the injection timing adjuster at low engine speed. The centrifugally operated weights are held inwards by the springs, and no movement takes place between the eccentric bushes. Diagram (B) shows the injection timing adjuster when engine speed is high enough to provide the centrifugal force needed to cause the weights to move out to their limit. The movement of the eccentric bushes results in an relative angular movement between the adjuster hub and connecting flange. The angular movement is 3°, which doubles to 6° between the engine and fuel injection pump (FIP). The arrow in illustration (C) shows where special tool 9987057 should be located when checking FIP timing.

D6B VP44 FIP - operation
An external, electrically driven, pump feeds fuel from the tank to the FIP at a max. pressure of 80 kPa (0.8 bar). The FIP also has an internal vane type supply pump (4). The rotating shaft (3) carries six equally spaced and radially opposed pumping plungers (6). The stationary cam-ring (5), has six equally spaced lobes on the inside diameter. At the outer end of each piston is a roller (7) which follows the inner diameter of the camring. When a roller passes over a cam lobe, the plunger is pushed inwards, and pressurises fuel in the fuel delivery chamber and distribution port . The distribution port is formed in the fuel distributor, which is part of the rotating assembly. As the assembly rotates, the distribution port aligns with one of six delivery ports, to deliver fuel to the injectors at exactly the right time and in the right sequence.

Fuel systems D6B VP44 FIP operation, cont.
The rotational position of the cam-ring can be altered, so that the plunger rollers meet the cam lobes earlier or later, thereby advancing or retarding injection timing. Fuel pressure acting on timing piston (8) moves the camring. Fuel pressure is supplied by vane pump (4), and controlled by solenoid valve (9). A pulsed signal from the PCU controls the valve. Increasing pressure moves the piston further, and injection timing is advanced. Solenoid valve (11) controls a fuel metering valve, which controls fuel supply to the pumping chamber. When the chamber is charged with fuel, the valve closes and pressurisation begins. When the programmed amount of fuel has been injected, the valve opens, and injection stops instantaneously. The cycle then repeats for the next cylinder. This pump is able to generate pressures at the injector of 1500 - 1850 bar. 97

Injected fuel quantity
This pump is a development of conventional electronically controlled in-line pumps, designed to further reduce exhaust emissions and improve fuel economy. These pumps are known as ʻcontrol-sleeveʼ pumps. In addition to electronic control of injected fuel quantity, control sleeve pumps have electronic control of injection timing. As in basic in-line pumps, injected fuel quantity is altered by rotating pump plungers (1). The plungers are rotated by control rack (6), which is moved by actuator (7), in response to signals from the engine ECU.

A control sleeve (2), which has a conventional spill port, is located around each pump plunger. Injection timing is advanced or retarded - relative to the position of the cam - by altering the vertical position of the control sleeve. The vertical position of the sleeves is altered by sleeve control shaft (4), which is rotated by actuator (3) in response to signals from the engine ECU.

D7C Bosch RP43 injection pump - electrohydraulic shut-off valve (EHAB)
Modern fuel pumps operate at very high injection pressures. Conventional shut-off devices cannot provide the instantaneous collapse of pressure required to ensure rapid engine stop. When energised with 24 V, the EHAB valve is set for normal fuel flow. When de-energised - start key off - fuel flow through the valve is reversed, and the fuel supply pump draws fuel back out from the injection pump. Fuel gallery pressure rapidly drops, and the engine stops within 2 seconds. Note: When bleeding the fuel system the valve must be energised - start key at ʻdriveʼ position.

As previously explained, control-sleeve injection pumps can electronically control injection timing by altering the position of control sleeves. The control signal is fed from the engine ECU to the control shaft actuator. This signal is calculated by the ECU according to engine load and speed. An important reference for the calculation is a signal fed to the ECU representing the instant injection starts. This signal is provided by a needle movement sensor in No. 1 injector. At the instant the needle starts to move upwards, a signal is induced in the sensor coil and fed to the ECU, indicating the start of injection.

Early D9A fuel system - fuel flow
Feed pump (1) draws fuel through strainer (2) in the combined tank unit, past electric fuel pump (3) into filter housing (9). If a pre-filter (4) and water separator (5) are fitted, fuel flows through these components, through ECU cooling loop (6) up to the fuel manifold. In the manifold, fuel from the tank is mixed with fuel returning from cylinder head passage (8) - via overflow valve (7) to the suction side of feed pump (1). The feed pump forces fuel through main filter (9) up to cylinder head passage (8). This passage supplies fuel to each injector via an annular groove around the injector body. Overflow valve (7) regulates fuel feed pressure to the injectors. Non-return valve (11) in electric pump (3) ensures that fuel does not return to the tank when the engine is stopped.

D10B fuel system - Injection pump
This pump is a Bosch P8000 unit, with electronic positioning of the control rack- EDC. A significant feature of this pump is the fuel supply path to the pump elements. With the usual supply path, fuel enters the pump at one end, and feeds each element one after the other in sequence, then leaves the pump at the opposite end after feeding the last element. With the high pressures used in this pump, this supply method can lead to significant differences in the temperature of fuel supplied to the first and last cylinder. Individual element pressures can also be affected by adjacent elements. These adverse factors are overcome by using ʻcross-flowʼ element supply (2), where each element has an isolated supply from a common supply channel.

Delphi type E1 unit injectors are fitted to D9A and D12D engines, and differ significantly from Lucas and Bosch injectors. The main difference is that the fuel control valve is located within the injector body. This results in a more compact and lighter unit, with shorter internal channels providing faster response. Each Delphi injector has a manufacturing tolerance, the code for which is marked on the electrical connector (A). Whenever an injector is renewed, the tolerance code must be programmed into the engine ECU using VCADSPro.

Fuel systems Unit injectors operation - timing and fuelling
Operation fill phase
The stroke of plunger (5) is constant, so the amount of fuel entering chamber (6) is also constant. However, the amount of fuel injected into the combustion chamber is determined by control valve (2), which opens and closes the path from the fuel gallery to the chamber. The valve is normally open, and is closed by solenoid (2) in response to a pulsed signal from the engine ECU. The start of the signal controls the start of injection. The duration of the signal controls the amount of injected fuel. Signal start and duration are calculated by the ECU in response to incoming signals from - e.g. throttle position, other sensors, other ECUʼs. The engine ECU is not sending a signal to fuel control valve solenoid (1), so valve (2) is open. The position of cam lobe (3) allows return spring (4) to draw back plunger (5). Fuel flows in from the gallery via the annular grooves, past fuel control valve (2), and into plunger chamber (6).

The purpose of the EPG (1) is to create extra pressure in the engine cylinders, thereby increasing the load on the engine. Extra pressure is created when shutter (2) is closed or partially closed. Engine load is used to: - reduce engine warm-up time by making the pistons work against extra pressure in the cylinders. In this mode the EPG is activated automatically, provided that - coolant temperature is < 70oC, and parking brake is on. - provide supplementary braking to assist slowing the down the vehicle. In this mode, the EPG is activated by a 2 or 3 position switch.

Operation of the EPG on D9A is as described for D12C, but D9A has a different air control valve (1). The valve is called and Air Valve Unit (AVU), and it is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal from the engine ECU The PWM signal has a variable pulse width (W), which results in a stepless variable voltage applied to the valve solenoid. This voltage can vary the air pressure steplessly between 2.0 bar and 7.5 bar. This form of pressure control has advantages when used with - e.g. cruise control and Brake Blending (BBF).

When the coolant temperature is below 70o C, and the park brake is on, the PWM signal has a pulse width of 30%, which results in an air pressure of 2.3 bar fed to the AVU. As for the D12C EPG, this gives a shutter opening of approx. 1.0 mm.
Engine braking
When EPG engine braking is activated by the control switch, the PWM signal has a pulse width of 90%, which results in an air pressure of 7.5 bar fed to the AVU. This pressure closes the shutter, which is balanced against exhaust gas pulses, allowing a small amount of gas to pass.

Compression brake
The VEB provides engine braking from a combination of: - Exhaust Pressure Governor (EPG), where the exhaust gas outlet is restricted by a shutter, causing pressure build up in the cylinders during the exhaust stroke (A) - as previously described. - Volvo Compression Brake (VCB), where exhaust gas pressure, created in the manifold by operation of the EPG, is allowed to enter the cylinders at the end of the induction stroke. This means that the cylinder is already pressurised at the start of the compression stroke. This results in a much higher pressure towards the end of the compression stroke (B), giving a powerful braking effect. Pressure is released from the cylinder just before TDC, by briefly opening the exhaust valves once more (C).

Because the lift height of these lobes - 0.8 mm - is much less than normal valve clearance, these lobes do not normally cause valve opening. The lobes cause valve opening - brief and slight - only when the normal valve clearance is reduced to zero, by oil pressure acting on a plunger in the rocker arm. Valve opening through these lobes is approx. 1.1 mm.

When compression braking is selected, by operating the control switch, oil pressure to the rocker arm increases to approx. 2.0 bar. A pressure of 2.0 bar is enough to compress spring (3), so plunger (2) is pushed away from ball (4). Ball spring (5) now pushes ball (4) towards itʼs seat, allowing oil pressure to build-up behind plunger (6). When plunger follower (10) is in tight contact with valve yoke (11), pressure behind plunger (6) rapidly increases, and ball (4) is forced tight onto itʼs seat. Normal valve clearance is reduced to zero, and the low profile cam lobes are able to open the valves as required - as shown on the following page.

Compression brake - cam and valve operation Compression brake not selected - A
Flat spring (1) keeps rocker arm plunger follower (2) in contact with valve yoke (3). The normal valve clearance of 1.6 mm, between plunger follower (2) and yoke (3), results in a clearance of 0.3 mm between rocker arm roller (4) and charging lobe (5). The same clearance exists between the roller and decompression lobe (6).
Compression brake selected -B
Valve clearance is reduced to zero, so roller (4) closely follows the cam profile.
Compression brake selected -C
Charging lobe (5) is directly in line with roller (4), the lobe lift of 0.8 mm, magnified by the rocker arm, opens the exhaust valves by approx. 1.1 mm. The same valve opening occurs when decompression lobe (6) aligns with roller (4).

VEB Checking VCB oil pressure D12
To check oil pressure on D12 engines, the rocker cover must be removed to enable connection of an oil pressure test gauge.
D9A
On D9A, the rocker cover does not need to be removed. There is a coupling pipe on the right hand side of the engine at No. 6 cylinder position. An oil pressure test gauge can be connected to the pipe using a quick coupling.

Turbocharger - D9A - MWE
D9A turbochargers have an integral wastegate, and a feature called Map Width Enhancement (MWE). MWE has been introduced to improve and widen the turbo/engine working range, and to optimise the torque characteristics of the engine. MWE is achieved by dividing the compressor air inlet into a main central intake (1), surrounded by an annular intake (2). Air can pass from one to the other via an annular port. At low speed and high engine load (A), the full volume of air entering the intake cannot be consumed by the engine, so some of the air is recirculated between the ports. At high speed, and high boost pressure (B), the engine needs the full volume of air, so all the air is drawn into the engine.

Turbocharger - wastegate
Low speed - low boost
The wastegate is a pressure relief or bypass valve which allows some of the exhaust gases to bypass the turbine at higher engine speeds. This allows the turbocharger to be more effectively matched to the engine at lower engine speeds. The assembly comprises - an actuating cylinder (1), actuation linkage (2), and valve flap (3) located in the turbine housing. Inside the actuating cylinder is a diaphragm and spring. The chamber behind the diaphragm is connected to the compressor wheel chamber by a flexible pipe (4), so the diaphragm is subject to boost pressure at all times. At low speed (A), the boost pressure is not enough to overcome the force of the spring. Therefore, the wastegate valve is closed, so all exhaust gas passes the turbine (5).

Turbocharger - wastegate
Low speed - low boost
As the turbo speed and, therefore, boost pressure, increases, pressure on the diaphragm increases, and the valve starts to open (B). This allows some of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbine, so further boost pressure is limited.

Turbochargers Turbocompound
Conventional turbocharger
Power turbine
The essential component of the turbocompound unit is a second exhaust driven turbine wheel - the ʻpower turbineʼ - located downstream of the turbocharger. The power turbine extracts more heat energy from the exhaust gases, which would otherwise be wasted. Exhaust gases leaving the manifold are at approx. 6500 C. The gases drive a conventional turbocharger (1), where energy is use to boost power and torque in the combustion process. Gases leaving the turbocharger are at approx. 5500C. Instead of being lost to atmosphere via the exhaust system, these gases are directed to the power turbine (3). The energy is used to drive the power turbine at up to 55,000 rev/min. At this point, the gases are at approx. 4500C, and are discharged via the exhaust system.

Turbochargers Speed reduction
Increased momentum
The high speed of the power turbine is stepped down via gears (4) and (6/7). A hydraulic coupling (5) balances out speed variations between the power turbine and the flywheel. At the crankshaft gear (2), speed is down to approx. 1,900 rev/min. The momentum of the flywheel is increased, and rotation is more even and stable.

Turbochargers Intake system - D9A
Renew the element
The filter element is made of impregnated folded paper. The inner seal is part of the filter. The outer seal is located on the filter flange, and compressed when the cover is fitted. A combined air pressure drop and air temperature sensor is located on the pipe connecting the filter housing to the turbocharger. When the sensor senses increased pressure drop, indicating start of filter blocking, an indicator lamp on the instrument panel is lit. The filter element must be renewed when the lamp lights, or at least every 24th month.

Turbochargers Intercooler D12C
Turbocharging raises the temperature of the intake air, so it is less dense and able to burn less fuel efficiently. An intercooler, located in the intake system between the turbocharger and intake manifold, lowers intake air temperature, so that more fuel can be burned efficiently.
Air to air intercooler
The D12C intercooler is an ʻair to airʼ type, meaning that, heat is rejected from intake air to ambient air.
More power, less stress
The intercooler lowers intake air temperature by approx. 1000 C. allowing greater engine power output, and less thermal stress on engine components.

Cooling system - D12C
Coolant is pumped into the cylinder block distribution jacket via hose (5). Most of the coolant flows through the oil cooler, but a small amount of coolant is fed into the cylinder lining lower cooling jackets. From the oil cooler, coolant is distributed to the cylinder liner upper jackets, and cylinder head. The cylinder head also receives coolant returning from the liner jackets, which is directed via nozzles to the exhaust ports and injector sleeves. All coolant returns to the pump or radiator via the thermostat at the front of the cylinder head.

Cooling Systems Fan drive - D16C
Via a viscous coupling, the fan is belt driven by a multigroove belt from the crankshaft pulley. Belt tension is set by an automatic tension adjuster, and a spring loaded idler pulley improves belt to pulley contact. Fan speed is controlled by a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal - stepless variable voltage - from the engine ECU. Fluid flow in the viscous coupling is controlled by a fluid flow valve, which is progressively opened and closed by the varying field strength of electromagnet (1). Field strength is controlled by the PWM signal. Note: Other ECUʼs can influence fan speed. As a fail safe feature, with no PWM signal applied, the fan runs at full speed.
