2900cc Turbo Intercooler Diesel Engine
Type TDI
Engine displacement 2,874cc
Maximum power 10/4,000(ps/rpm)
Maximum torque 25.5/2,250(kg. m/rpm)
- The front-ahead type turbo-intercooler engine is the engine characterized for its low-pollution rate and high combustion ratio presenting strong power and acceleration power.

- Environmentally friendly engine with the electrically controlled EGR system, which controls EGR valve precisely by EUC and substantially prevents fume emission.
* EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)

- Non-load, sudden acceleration fume prevention equipment is mounted; this equipment reduces fuel supply and fume emission when the acceleration pedal is stepped and RPM suddenly increases during engine idle condition.

Robust and reliable engine features
Pre-Combustion Chamber Type Combustion Area
Pre-combustion type combustion area is designed by Mercedes-Benz in its traditional engine design, and it outperforms its maximum performance with little amount of fuel and shows excellent stillness by preventing knocking.

Hydraulic Valve Aperture Adjustment Device
When an engine explodes, the aperture of the engine gets loose by high heat, lessening engine capability and then, regular adjustment of the valve aperture is required. However, in case of Korando, the valve aperture is automatically adjusted by hydraulic pressure.

Engine Inclinated Installment

To compare with the upright installed engine, it is installed slantingly to the left at about 15¡Æ, minimizing the side pressure and friction, and performs excellent performance and combustion.

Resonator
A resonator is employed to decrease noise that was produced at air inhalation and intercepted noise at low speed and acceleration

Advantages of Korando Turbo Intercooler Engine

Turbo Intercooler
Turbo intercooler engine is originally used for airplane. It has been developed to maintain certain air pressure in the engine even at high altitude where air is rarefied. Now it is applied to automobile engine.
It is the equipment which increases engine explosion power to get strong and torque with compulsive injection of much air into the combustion chamber under the constant amount of exhaustion.


[ Principle for operation]
As the air, pushed by turbo charger, is compressed in a closed space, the temperature of the air rises. Consequently, the rise of the air temperature expands volume, so the amount of air which can be injected will be limited.

To overcome such limitation, turbo intercooler cools down air, which has been heated after pressurization by turbo charger, and expands the density of air. So the absolute amount of inhaled air can be increased and it improves output of engine power.


Streno gths of TurbIntercooler
01. Increase Output of Power
As it increases output of power compared to natural inhaled engine, it shows excellent power. It also produces same output in the low speed range, providing long life span of the engine.
02. Decrease Vibration and Noise
Generally the noise of engine is getting louder, when the RPM(Revolutions per minute) is higher. However, the turbo intercooler engine can produce high RPM even in low speed range. As a result, it decreases vibration and noise largely.
03. Decrease Exhaust Gas
Smoke results from incomplete combustion by lack of air. As the turbo intercooler engine provides much amount of air into cylinder and leads to complete combustion, the smoke is significantly decreased.
 
04. Superior High Altitude Adaptation
Even in the mountainous and high areas, enough amounts of air is supplied to prevent the reduction of output of power.
 
05. Improve Fuel Efficiency
Supplying enough amounts of air, complete combustion is realized. Range of low engine revolution can be used for improved fuel efficiency.
 
Front Ahead Type Musso Intercooler
The intercooler receives the air directly,
so it creates the high cooling effect.
