Design and Function Intake and Exhaust System Preheater Selected versions of the D12 are equipped with a pre- heater. Its purpose is to warm air in the intake manifold when starting the engine. This heated air eases starting at very low temperatures and reduces engine smoking when starting a cold engine.
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Engines without Preheater On engines not equipped with a preheater, engine coolant temperature determines the point at which fuel injection begins while starting. The crankshaft rotates an extra number of turns to increase cylinder temperature before fuel injection begins.
Rocker arm Shutter Control valve Exhaust pressure governor Shim The Volvo Engine Brake (VEB) is a combination of two brake systems: the exhaust brake and the compression brake. Exhaust brake The exhaust pressure governor uses a shutter mounted in the exhaust outlet from the turbocharger. This shutter, connected to the exhaust pressure governor plunger, can restrict the exhaust gas flow.
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function D12C The VEB solenoid has been moved to the center of the rocker shaft. The oil supply is internal, rather than having the external piping visible. Control Valve The control valve is mounted on the cylinder head under the valve cover, and is connected to the oil system ahead of the rocker arm shaft.

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Camshaft on Engine with Compression Brake The camshaft on an engine with a compression brake has an induction lobe (1) and a decompression lobe (2) — in addition to the normal exhaust lobe (3) — on each cam profile for the exhaust valves.
Page 16
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Exhaust Rocker Arms The exhaust rocker arms on an engine with a compres- sion brake are larger than those on a conventional engine. The rocker arm includes a non-return valve (2) and a plunger (3) with a pressure limiting valve, the purpose of which is to regulate the oil flow during compression brak- ing.
Page 17
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Rocker Arm Plunger The purpose of the rocker arm plunger is to eliminate all valve clearance during the compression braking. Engine Operation When the engine is operating (compression brake not activated), there is reduced oil pressure — approx. 100 kPa (14.5 psi) —...

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Control System The engine brake is connected to the throttle pedal and is activated when the pedal is completely released, ac- cording to the selection made with the engine brake switch on the instrument panel. The selection made with this switch also regulates en- gine braking activated by the cruise control.
Page 19
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Compression Brake The exhaust brake is always engaged in conjunction with the compression brake. In the compression brake induction phase, the exhaust brake creates an overpres- sure in the exhaust manifold, making the compression brake more efficient.
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Crankcase Ventilation D12C The D12C has new crankcase ventilation with its outlet from the upper timing gear cover. The timing gear cover is designed with an oil trap to pre- vent oil from escaping through the ventilation tube. T2012791 Fig.

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Engines with VEB When the engine brake ON/OFF switch is in the ON po- sition, the engine brake is activated according to the position of the engine brake HI/LO switch. With the HI/LO switch in the LO position, only the ex- haust pressure governor is activated and is subject to the same conditions as for engines with an exhaust brake only.
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function D12C The EPG on the D12C has a new air valve. The valve is located on the right, rear edge of the engine block and is controlled by current from the EECU. There are two on/off valves and two reduction valves in the valve body.
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function EPG Control Valve The exhaust pressure governor is controlled by a valve that regulates air pressure to the EPG. The exhaust pressure governor operates using two dif- ferent pressures: • When the exhaust pressure governor is activated during starting and keeping the engine warm, the control valve provides a control pressure of approxi- mately 200 kPa (29 psi).
Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Design and Function Air Restriction Indicator There are several types of restriction indicators which can be mounted in certain locations, such as on the air cleaner duct or on/above the instrument panel. The air restriction indicator mounted on the instrument panel permits continuous monitoring of the gauge.

Group 25 Intake and Exhaust System Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Air Restriction Indicator, Checking Low restriction readings may be difficult to identify. They can result from a damaged element gasket, ruptured element, incorrectly installed element or a leak in the en- gine air intake ducts and piping. When servicing the air cleaner, make sure to check for these.
