Want ToKnow More?Take A Look At The SimpleDesign Of The <strong>Engine</strong>. TheOne-Piece Cylinder HeadContains The OverheadCamshaft. This CamshaftArrangement Provides AVariety Of Benefits:■ Intake <strong>and</strong> exhaust passages arestraight <strong>for</strong> easy entry <strong>and</strong> exit ofair from the cylinder. The enginedoesn’t waste fuel “pumping” airin <strong>and</strong> out.■ Intake <strong>and</strong> exhaust passages arealso short. Intake air is not overlyheated as it passes through thehead. The resulting cooler air inthe cylinder improves economy.And the hot exhaust gases don’ttransfer too much heat into thehead as they exit, preserving moreenergy to operate the turbo.■ The overhead cam allows <strong>for</strong>direct actuation of the fuelinjectors without push rods orpush tubes. The result is high fuelinjection pressure <strong>and</strong> betterfuel economy.■ The overhead cam also allows <strong>for</strong>the use of 38 head bolts on the<strong>Series</strong> <strong>60</strong>, providing up to1,000,000 pounds of clamp loadon the head gasket <strong>for</strong> extremelylong life.■ Inside each cylinder liner is theDDC TM Iron Cross Head Piston.This iron piston provides a hardsurface <strong>for</strong> the rings to sealagainst, unlike aluminum, whichrequires a special cast insert.■ Outside, the cylinder liner iscooled all the way to the top,using a patented DDC featurecalled top liner cooling. Thisreduces ring temperatures by 100ºF, another reason <strong>Series</strong> <strong>50</strong>/<strong>60</strong>engines live so long.■ Main <strong>and</strong> rod bearings are big.That’s why the <strong>Series</strong> <strong>50</strong>/<strong>60</strong>engine has no requirement to rollout bearings - it’s just notnecessary.The <strong>Series</strong> <strong>50</strong>/<strong>60</strong> engine block,with no camshaft is a simple, troublefreedesign.Add the gear train to drive theaccessories <strong>and</strong> the camshaft,<strong>and</strong> you have a complete <strong>Series</strong> <strong>60</strong>engine.■ Simple■ Rugged■ Easy to work on■ Key components are right underthe rocker cover■ Fewer parts mean reducedmaintenance expense
Electronic <strong>Engine</strong> Controls.The Way To Control Profits.Complete Control WithThe DDEC SystemDDEC is a complete, integratedengine management <strong>and</strong> controlsystem. The functions of DDEC canbe easily categorized:I N P U TInput to DDEC comes from a variety of sources:■ The machine operator■ The machine itself■ <strong>Engine</strong> sensorsThese inputs flow to the Electronic Control Module(ECM), which is mounted on the engine. The ECM isa powerful yet simple computer.A N A L Y S I SThe ECM analyzes the input from the sources mentioned. Itanalyzes hundreds of inputs every second <strong>and</strong> knows whatthe machine operator would like the machine to do, whatthe machine is doing, the temperature of the engine, RPM,oil pressure, load factor <strong>and</strong> so on.The ECM then comparesthis input to the data stored in its memory.O U T P U TThe comm<strong>and</strong>s from the ECM activate each fuelinjector. Each fuel injector is instructed to inject agiven amount of fuel at a given time.Display Every Event W ithElectronic ControlsDetroit <strong>Diesel</strong> offers an electronicdisplay that can replace a typicalmechanical instrument panel. Inaddition, the Detroit <strong>Diesel</strong> electronicdisplay will indicate any problem with ascript message. The engine ECMrecords every significant event withinits built-in memory. It’s a simpleprocedure <strong>for</strong> a service technician, oreven the machine operator, to access<strong>and</strong> display the in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>and</strong>quickly locate a problem.Detroit <strong>Diesel</strong>Electronic Controls(DDEC)DDEC is a complete, integrated enginemanagement <strong>and</strong> control system.DDEC IV, the fourth generation ofDDEC, is now st<strong>and</strong>ard equipment onall <strong>Series</strong> <strong>50</strong>, <strong>Series</strong> <strong>60</strong>, <strong>Series</strong> 2000,<strong>and</strong> <strong>Series</strong> 4000 engines.DDEC Features And Benefits■ Fewer parts improves reliability■ No adjustments or tune-Upsmeans reduced downtime■ Improved fuel economy■ <strong>Engine</strong> protection helps avoiddamage to engine, transmissionor machine■ Torque limiting helps savedrivetrain components■ Self diagnosis■ <strong>Engine</strong> overspeed■ Maintenance Alert System (MAS)■ Half-engine idle <strong>for</strong> rapidwarm-up■ Reduced emissions <strong>and</strong> cold startsmoke control■ Built-in <strong>and</strong> remote PTO control■ Starter lock-out■ RPM limiting capability■ Variable speed or limiting speedgovernor options■ Pressure-sensing governoroption■ Ether injectionFilter <strong>and</strong> Fluid Checks withMaintenance Alert System■ Checks oil <strong>and</strong> coolant levels■ Checks pressure drop across thefuel <strong>and</strong> air filters■ In-cab monitor <strong>for</strong> quick view ofoperating status■ Maximizes filter change intervals■ Extends maintenance intervals tothe maximum safe limits■ Eliminates costly, away-fromhomemaintenance interventionsGreen light indicates system checked <strong>and</strong>within preset specifications.DDEC illuminates a red light indicatingexactly what the maintenance departmentmust check. No hassle, no guesswork, nowasted downtime.Sensors monitor oil level, coolant level, <strong>and</strong>pressure drop across the fuel <strong>and</strong> air filters.Maintenance Alert System simply mountsunder driver seat <strong>for</strong> quick <strong>and</strong> easyviewing.
