New generation Common Rail engines

SisuDiesel tractor engines are off-road engines that are designed for use in demanding applications. This can be seen in their sturdy structure, durability, reliability and extremely strong torque characteristics.

All T Series tractors are powered by SisuDiesel Common Rail engines that feature a number of refinements for further improving ignition and lowering emissions. These refinements also improve the traditional virtues of SisuDiesel engines, which are now quieter, more fuel efficient and powerful than ever.

The new generation of Common Rail engines feature third-generation electronic engine management (EEM) developed by SisuDiesel. EEM technology offers many advanced functions, such as low idle (650 rpm) when the handbrake is applied and transport boost, which is available on HiTech and Advance models.

 

 

Common rail
In Common Rail engines the fuel can be delivered in up to five stages during a single ignition. The electronic engine management can analyse and adjust the amount of fuel needed by the engine over 100 times per second. The multi-stage fuel injection plays a major role in lowering emissions. At the same time, optimal fuel efficiency can be maintained.
 

    Advantages of common rail engines
Exceed Tier III emissions standards
high fuel injection pressure, precise fuel injection timing and efficient intercooling help manage emissions
CR engines react quickly to changes in load
Higher torque achieved at low rpm. Torque remains high even if engine speed drops during work, making work efficient and improving fuel efficiency
Basic construction of SisuDiesel engines offers very long life:
     - intercooler
     - wet cylinder liners, centrally supported
          • reduces cylinder liner vibration
          • minimises wear on cylinder liners and pistons
          • low oil consumption
     - fuel system located on cold side of engine
     - fuel filters can be easily changed without tools and without leaking fuel.
     - easy access to maintenance components
optimal ignition thanks to CR pre-injection
   - lower noise levels
   - new and pleasant engine sound
four-valve-per-cylinder technology improves fuel flow through cylinders and reduces heat load around cylinders.
 

 
 

Low idle
A new Valtra innovation is low idle for Common Rail engines. The ordinary idling speed is 850 rpm. When the tractor is parked and the handbrake engaged, the engine speed drops to a pleasantly quiet 650 rpm, further reducing fuel consumption. When starting driving again the control lever is lifted to the N position, and the idling speed is immediately increased to 850 rpm to make use of the high start-up torque of the engine.

 


 
  Power bulge
Power bulge means that the engine delivers the maximum power at lower
rpm than the rated speed. T Series CR engines have a rated speed of 2200 rpm, but the maximum power is achieved at 2000 rpm. The power bulge is approximately 3-4 hp.

Benefits
Improved fuel efficiency
Reduced noise levels
Less downshifting
Increased productivity

 
 

Permatorque
SisuDiesel engines feature Permatorque, which offers a torque reserve (R) from the engine rated rpm to the rpm at the maximum torque. In the T Series the maximum torque is achieved at 1500 rpm (EcoPower 1100 rpm). Permatorque (E) means that the torque remains constant until 1000 rpm. High torque at low rpm (P) enables a smooth start up during PTO work and when moving off with heavy loads.

 


 
  Transport boost
Models with Common Rail fuel injection offer extra power boost for transport driving. The power increase is approximately 5-6 percent compared with the power at field speeds. Transport boost offers extra power in gears H2, H3 and H4. The power bulge is also available in transport boost mode.
 
 

ECOPOWER & ECOSPEED

Ecopower model T151e
Farmers and contractors are constantly seeking out new ways to respond to the needs of cost-efficiency and rising fuel prices. EcoPower was introduced by Valtra in 1999. The new Common Rail technology adds new dimensions to the third generation of EcoPower.
In T151 models, the EcoPower function lowers the maximum engine speed by 400 rpm. This reduces fuel consumption by up to 10 percent. At the same time, the average piston speed is reduced by 20 percent, which also extends the life of the engine by around 20 percent. Lower engine speeds also lower engine noise by several decibels, which in turn improves driving comfort. Another new property in EcoPower is the chance to switch between the efficient Eco
Mode and the standard Power Mode.
 

    Two tractors in one
EcoPower has many new exciting features. Two driving modes can be selected:
 
BIODIESEL
SisuDiesel engines with Common Rail fuel injection system comply with Tier 3 emissions standards and can be run on a maximum 20% dilution of Biodiesel (B20).

 
  Eco Mode with genuine EcoPower features: rated speed 1800 rpm and tremendous torque

• Rated speed 1800 rpm
• Fuel savings up to 10 %
• Lower noise level
• Lower piston speed, increased
  engine life
• Very high torque, even
  at 1000 rpm
• Wide, constant torque range
 
  Power Mode offering approximately the same power but including transport boost: rated speed 2200 rpm

• Top speed 50 km/h or 40 km/h EcoSpeed depending on specification
• High PTO power
 

 

Eco mode is recommended:
• For maximising fuel efficiency
• For soil preparation
• For all utility work
 

  Power mode is recommended:
• For heavy PTO work
• For high average speeds in hilly
  conditions
• For high hydraulic output
  (Classic and HiTech)
 
  Ecospeed
EcoSpeed is especially suitable for countries with a speed limit of 40 km/h for tractors. EcoSpeed is based on the 50-km/h transmission, but the highest speed is limited to 40 (max 43) km/h.

• Engine speed at max speed of 40 km/h is around 1800 rpm depending
  on tyre size
• Speed with H4, Delta PS 2nd gear: 40 km/h at 2200 rpm
• Speed with H4, Delta PS 3rd gear: 40 km/h at 1800 rpm
• Lower fuel consumption
• Lower noise, less wear
• Available for T131-T191 models

Note that the speed chart for EcoSpeed models is otherwise the same as for 50-km/h models
 
    Special output with Sigma Power
The nominal power output of T191 Sigma Power models is 189 hp. When the PTO is sufficiently loaded, the maximum output of the engine increases to 211 hp and the engine provides 22 hp of additional power for the PTO axel. Sigma Power models are ideal for use with implements that require a lot of PTO power, such as and rotary tillers and shredders.
 
 

Cruise control
Cruise control allows the driver to set the desired driving speed or engine/PTO rpm. The pre-set speed or rpm is maintained automatically regardless of changes in load. When turning at the headland or stopping work the engine speed can be temporarily returned to idle or another pre-set value at the push of a button. The driving speed or engine/PTO rpm is then regained automatically by pushing the button again. Cruise control makes daily work simpler and faster. The quality and productivity of work are also improved.
