EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
17.1
OVERVIEW
Power developed by any internal combustion engine depends on the amount of fuel burned with
the available oxygen in the cylinder. The amount of oxygen in a cubic foot of air is reduced if
water vapor is present, or if the air is expanded due to increased temperature or reduced pressure.
This section includes deratings for:
□
Air Inlet Temperature
□
Exhaust
□
Altitude
MBE4000 engine power is not affected by air inlet restriction, fuel inlet restrictions, fuel
temperature, and barometric pressure within the range of normal operational conditions.
17.2
AIR INLET TEMPERATURE
High inlet air temperature to the engine can cause loss of power and heat problems with the
cooling system, the lubricating oil and hydraulic oil systems. This may be either due to high
ambient temperatures, or because the engine is being used inside a building or structure of a
machine which needs more air
fl
ow. Figure 17-1depicts the effects of air inlet temperature.
