ENGINE M8540, M9540, WSM [2] BOTTOM BYPASS SYSTEM Bottom bypass system is introduced in V3 series for improving the cooling performance of the radiator. While the temperature of coolant in the engine is low, the thermostat is held closed and the coolant is allowed to flow through the bypass pipe and to circulate in the engine.
M8540, M9540, WSM 5. FUEL SYSTEM [1] GOVERNOR The engine employs the separated fuel injection pump in combination with Kubota’s own small multi- function mechanical governor, which enables more dependability.

[1] GENERAL In order to meet with the strict emission regulations, Kubota has adopted the EGR on the V3800DI-T-E3. The nitrogen oxide (NOx) which is a hazardous component in exhaust gas is generated by oxidation of nitrogen in the air, due to rise of the combustion temperature in cylinders.

ENGINE M8540, M9540, WSM (A) EGR Cooler The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cooler is used to lower combustion temperature and efficiently cool EGR gas, with the aim of reducing the NOx that is in the exhaist das of diesel engine.
Page 122
ENGINE M8540, M9540, WSM (C) Mechanical EGR Valve Mechanical EGR valve controls the flow of cooled EGR gas to the intake manifold. If the boost pressure is low, EGR valve is closed, so cooled EGR gas does not flow to the intake manifold.
