GLOSSARY

9.1

Glossary

Alternator

A component that transforms mechanical energy into AC electrical energy.

Authorised

workshop

Kohler authorised service centre.

ATS

After Treatment System - Post-treatment system, referred to the exhaust gases

produced by the engine.

Bore

Internal diameter of the cylinder in combustion engines.

Catalyst

A device in charge of filtering exhausted gas.

Combustion

Chemical reaction of a mixture composed of fuel and fuel (air) inside a combustion

chamber.

Common

Rail

A high-pressure "Common Duct" that produces a constant supply of fuel directly to the

injectors.

DOC

Diesel Oxidation Catalyst - Catalyst for diesel engines that reduces harmful exhaust gas

emissions produced by the engine.

DPF

Diesel Particulate Filter - A filter that captures particles of carbonaceous origin emitted by diesel

engines.

"European Community".

ECS

"Emission Control System"

ECU

"Electronic Control Unit"; an electronic device in charge of electronically detecting and

controlling other electronic control devices.

EGR

Exhaust Gas Recirculation, in internal combustion engines; a system that enables

recirculation of combusted gas by means of taking it in once again, which enables it to

break down a part of the pollutants present in the exhaust gas.

EGR Cooler

Recirculated exhaust gas cooling; a system that is able to cool recirculated gas (EGR)

from the exhaust. This enables the temperature to remain constant inside the intake

manifold, thus improving combustion inside the cylinders and breaking down pollutants

further.

Electronic

injector

An electronically activated component able to inject jets of atomised fuel inside the

cylinders.
