GLOSSARY
A Alternator:
A component that transforms mechanical energy into AC
electrical energy.
Authorised workshop: Kohler authorised service centre.
B Bore: Internal diameter of the cylinder in combustion engines.
C Catalyst: A device in charge of filtering exhausted gas.
Combustion:
Chemical reaction of a mixture composed of fuel and fuel (air)
inside a combustion chamber.
Common Rail:
A high-pressure "Common Duct" that produces a constant
supply of fuel directly to the injectors.
E EC: European Community.
ECS: Emission Control System
ECU:
Electronic Control Unit; an electronic device in charge of
electronically detecting and controlling other electronic control
devices.
EGR Cooler:
Recirculated exhaust gas cooling; a system that is able to
cool recirculated gas (EGR) from the exhaust. This enables
the temperature to remain constant inside the intake manifold,
thus improving combustion inside the cylinders and breaking
down pollutants further.
EGR:
Exhaust Gas Recirculation, in internal combustion engines; a
system that enables recirculation of combusted gas by means
of taking it in once again, which enables it to break down a
part of the pollutants present in the exhaust gas.
Electronic injector:
An electronically activated component able to inject jets of
atomised fuel inside the cylinders.
EPA:
Environmental Protection Agency. The United States' authority
that safeguards the environment; its duty is to govern and
control polluting emissions.
F Fig.: Figure.
G Galvanised: Material that has undergone surface protection treatment.
H Heavy conditions:
Type of extreme condition referred to the work environment
in which the engine is used (very dusty - dirty area, or in a
contaminated environment due to various types of gas).
I Intercooler:
Air-cooling element under pressure from the turbo situated
between the turbine and intake manifold.
International lubricant specifications:
A.P.I.: (American Petroleum Institute)
MIL: U.S.A. military engine oil specification
ACEA: European Automobile Manufacturers Association
K KDI: Kohler Direct Injection
M Maintenance - periodic:
A group of maintenance actions that have the sole objective to
control and replace elements on their expiry, without modifying
or improving the functions carried out by the system, neither
increasing the value nor improving performance.
MAX: Maximum.
Methyl ester
It is a mixture of products by means of a chemical conversion
of oils and animal and/or vegetable fat, which is used to
produce Biofuel.
Min.: Minutes.
MIN: Minimum.
Model:
Model, engine identification plate, which indicates the engine's
model.
O Oil Cooler: Small radiator used to cool the oil.
P Par.: Paragraph.
Paraffin: Fatty and solid substance that may form inside the diesel.
Poly-V:
Poly-V, the name associated with a service belt, which derives
from the profile of its section that is constructed with joined Vs.
R Ref.: Reference.
