Does the diesel car have a throttle?

The throttle is what we often call the "throttle". Its function is to control the amount of mixed gas entering the cylinder. It is installed in the appropriate position of the intake manifold and connected with the accelerator pedal with a metal wire. When driving, the driver's "refueling" or "draining" actually changes the throttle opening (changing the amount of mixed gas entering the cylinder) to accelerate or decelerate the car.

It should be pointed out that gasoline engines have both valves and throttles, while diesel engines have only valves and no throttles. The change of the accelerator pedal of diesel vehicle can accelerate or decelerate the vehicle by controlling the injection quantity of high-pressure oil pump.

But does TDCi have a throttle?

It is basically correct to say that the throttle plate on the intake manifold is a throttle.

However, the function of this set of throttle valves is not to control the fuel supply, but to control the intake source and EGR recovery during DPF regeneration. Another function is to close the air inlet when the engine is turned off, so as to avoid the engine jitter when the traditional diesel engine is turned off.

When driving a turbocharged car, when stepping on the accelerator to accelerate, the throttle will open, and with the increase of vehicle speed, the engine will make a "hmm …" sound. The exhaust energy discharged by the engine at high temperature and high pressure will drive the exhaust turbine to rotate. When the speed of the turbocharger reaches the working speed (that is, the turbine speed exceeds 654.38+ million revolutions per minute), the turbocharger will compress the surrounding air, so that the air intake of the engine will increase and the engine will be upgraded.

However, when we collect oil, the throttle opening decreases rapidly until it is in the closed idle state, which means that the engine does not need air intake, otherwise the air flow in the intake pipe will be blocked at the throttle. But at this moment, the turbocharger has not stopped working! Due to inertia, the turbocharger still keeps rotating at a speed of over 654.38+ million revolutions per minute. Now it is conceivable that the air is still being compressed into the intake pipe. If this part of high-pressure air cannot be discharged in time in the intake pipe, the pressure in the intake pipe will rise rapidly, and the acceleration will be delayed and uneven, which may damage the throttle or cause the intake pipe to burst.

At this time, it is necessary to install a pressure relief device in the intake pipeline to discharge the excess high-pressure air compressed by the intake turbine in the pipeline. In fact, the pressure reducing valve is a valve installed on the intake pipe to control the boosting pressure. The opening and closing of the pressure reducing valve is controlled by an electromagnetic coil operated by ECU (Electronic Control Unit). ECU will make a judgment according to the pressure of turbine outlet pressurization. Once the pressure exceeds the critical value, the electromagnetic coil will be turned on or off, and the pressure relief valve will be turned on or off.

When the pressure reducing valve is closed, it is based on ensuring that there is enough intake pressure in the intake pipe. When the valve is opened, it can release excess gas into the atmosphere, reduce the pressure in the intake pipe and protect the engine intake pipe. Therefore, the "hiss, hiss" sound we heard on the modified car is the sound when the pressure reducing valve releases pressure and exhausts.

In fact, the "hiss, hiss" sound made by the modified car has no significance for improving the engine performance, but it can render the illusion of a large boost value. Relatively speaking, the greater the boost value of the engine, the more air discharged by the pressure relief valve, and the greater the theoretical noise. When refitting a car, the sound of the pressure reducing valve is amplified, just like using a gun barrel to exhaust the pipe-the action is cool, but it has no practical effect.
