DOHC Diesel Engine 1 illustration ~158 words
  • The Y 25 DT engine, in comparison with the X 25 DT engine, is a DOHC engine.
  • The two camshafts are located next to each other in the cylinder head.
  • The outlet side camshaft on the right and the inlet side camshaft on the left.
  • Two valves per cylinder are each actuated by one camshaft per side.
  • The drive takes place via a chain which is tensioned automatically using a hydraulic tensioner via two tension rails.
  • The drive chain is fitted around the drive gears of the two camshafts and the drive gear of the common rail high-pressure pump, which is driven by the crankshaft using its own drive chain, as in the X 25 DT engine.
  • The camshafts are manufactured from a clear chill casting.
  • The cams have a negative cam radius. By modifying the cam radius, the fuel consumption and the exhaust emissions have been reduced.
