Diesel ECU system

Adaptronic diesel ECU system.

 

The Adaptronic diesel ECU system can be used on engines up to 20 cylinders for single injection or up to 12 cylinders for multi bursts aplication.

 

In total the ECU or EMS can give up to 4 injections per 720 crank degrees for 4 stroke engines or 360 crank degrees for 2 stroke engines.

Injector timing and duration can be done independent  for every cylinder.

 

For common rail applications it will be possible to use as many control valves you line to maintain fuel pressure. The amount of valves and activators is only limited to the amount of AUX outs puts of the ECU.

Boost and EGR control.

 

16 analog and 8 thermocouple inputs will make it possible to monitor every aspect of the enginge.

 

The tuning possibilities are almost unlimited ranging from extreme diesel tuning up test  systems to improve fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.

I took Renault Clio diesel 15 DCI engine and connected is to the Diesel engine test unit or diesel ECU system.

I made two small movies. The first movie is about the sound difference while changing injection modes between 1 main injection and adding a pilot injection. I set the ECU to change from 1 main injection to main and 1 pilot injection. I also gave the engine a bit more fuel than needed and set the RPM governor gain very aggressive for maximum RPM response.

The second one is how the engine normally runs and shows from left to right fuel pressure, RPM, torque demand, total injection duration and inlet manifold pressure
