Cement bulk truck engine knowledge

The core component of the cement bulk truck is the engine, which provides the power and energy conversion device for the cement bulk truck. At present, the most used dry bulk trucks in the market are China’s Weichai and Germany’s deutz engines. Today, panda bulk cement trailer manufacturers will give you the details. The introduction of the engine knowledge of dry bulk trucks, I hope to help you.

The engine is a device that provides power and energy conversion for cement bulk trucks, and converts the thermal energy of gasoline (diesel) into mechanical energy by expanding the gas after sealing combustion, pushing the piston to perform work.

The composition of the engine

The components of the engine are five systems and two institutions. The five systems are the fuel supply system, the cooling system, the lubrication system, the ignition system, and the starting system; the two institutions are the crank connecting rod mechanism and the valve train.

Classification of car engines

Depending on the power source

Automotive engines can be divided into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrids.

How the air intake system works

It can be divided into four types: naturally aspirated, turbocharged, mechanically supercharged and dual-supercharged.

Piston movement

It can be divided into two types: reciprocating piston internal combustion engine and rotary piston engine.

Cylinder arrangement type

In-line engine, V-type engine, W-type engine and horizontally opposed engine, etc.

According to the number of cylinders

Divided into single-cylinder engine and multi-cylinder engine.
Modern cars mostly use three-cylinder, four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and eight-cylinder engines.

According to the cooling method

It can be divided into water-cooled engine and air-cooled engine.
The water-cooled engine has uniform cooling, reliable operation and good cooling effect, and is widely used in modern vehicle engines.

By the number of strokes

It can be divided into four-stroke internal combustion engine and two-stroke internal combustion engine.
Four-stroke internal combustion engines are widely used in automobile engines.

According to the fuel supply method

Carburetor engines and EFI engines as well as direct injection engines

Deutz engine

The Deutz diesel engine produced by Deutz Company has the trade name DEUTZ. In 1864, Mr. Otto and Mr. Langen jointly established the world’s first engine production plant, which is the predecessor of Deutz Company. The first engine invented by Mr. Otto is a gas engine that burns gas, so Deutz has a history of more than 140 years in gas engines

DEUTZ is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of drive systems for off-highway applications. Originally founded in Cologne, Germany in 1864 as NA Otto & Cie., DEUTZ AG is now the oldest engine company in the world. As of the end of 2021, the Deutz Group has around 4,750 employees worldwide. Its core competence is the development, production and distribution of drive solutions for off-highway applications in the power range up to 620 kW. The current product portfolio extends from diesel and gas engines to hybrid, fully electric and hydrogen drives. DEUTZ drives are used in a wide range of applications including construction equipment, agricultural machinery, material handling equipment such as forklifts and lift platforms, commercial vehicles, rail vehicles, and boats for private or commercial use.

What kind of engine is deutz?

The eutz is an engine produced by Deutz, which mainly produces diesel engines. Diesel engines are found in many cars, and there are many pickup trucks and dry bulk trucks that use diesel engines. Although the power of the diesel engine is not very high, the torque of this engine is very large, which is very suitable for some vehicles that pull heavy loads.

The working principle of a diesel engine is different from that of a gasoline engine. There is no spark plug in the diesel engine, and no spark plug is needed to ignite. It is compression ignition. After the end of the compression stroke, due to the high temperature and pressure, the mixture of diesel and air will burn itself. Gasoline engines require a spark plug to ignite the combustible mixture after the compression stroke

Deutz engine features

Inline air-cooled 3 to 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine.
The 4 and 6 cylinder engines also feature turbocharging and optional Electronic Engine Control (EMR) for easy integration into electronic control and monitoring.
The turbocharged 6-cylinder engine can also be equipped with a charge air cooling system.
Simple and low cost installation due to miniaturization
Low noise emissions due to acoustically optimised components with very smooth running and high durability.
Robust engine design enables global operation even on high sulphur fuels.
Efficient injection and combustion systems ensure optimum engine performance with low fuel consumption.
Optimum cold start performance even in extreme conditions

Advantages of Deutz engines

  • Deutz engines have the characteristics of small size, low fuel consumption and low noise, and are trusted by the majority of users.
  • Compact structure, reasonable design, reliable and excellent performance, long working life and economical use.
  • In terms of product structure, it has three product platforms of C, E, and D, with power ranging from 85 to 340 horsepower, and more than 300 kinds of various variants and adaptable products, which can be used for medium and heavy trucks, light vehicles, passenger cars, construction machinery, etc. Provide power products with higher technological content and more specialization in different demand fields.
  • The products have a series of significant advantages such as advanced, high efficiency, reliability, energy saving and environmental protection. It has the function of air intake and recirculation, which can well adapt to plateau and high-altitude areas.

Weichai engine:

Weichai is an international company operating across fields and industries. It owns power systems, commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, construction machinery, smart logistics, marine transportation equipment and other business sectors around the world. Its subsidiaries are located in Europe, North America, Asia and other regions. , The products are exported to more than 110 countries and regions.

Features of Weichai engine:

The advantages of Weichai engine:

Weichai engine emits much less harmful gas than gasoline engine (especially carbon monoxide), so compared with gasoline engine, diesel engine is not harmful to the environment;

The chassis structure of Weichai engine greatly facilitates maintenance and reduces the workload. The crankshaft is made of high-strength ductile iron and has been nitrided. The cylinder liner is made of boron alloy cast iron, and the inner surface is honed by the platform mesh.

Weichai motor vehicles often drive on highways. The vehicle travels for a long time, the engine temperature and pressure are high, the cylinders generate more smoke and carbon deposits, and the oil is also easily oxidized to form colloids.

The disadvantages of Weichai engine:

The speed is lower than that of the gasoline engine (generally 1800-3000r/min), the manufacturing and maintenance costs are high, the noise is loud, and it is difficult to start

Summary

Deutz is better than Weichai when it comes to selecting engines for bulk cement trucks. Because the engine is manufactured in turn, the technology is more advanced, the power is stronger, the operation is more stable, the fuel consumption is lower, and the engine material is more solid and the safety factor is higher.
