Operation in the case of low intake air temperatures
The engine is only allowed to be operated at max. 90 % power if the air intake temperatures are
below +10 °C as otherwise the permissible nominal ignition pressure is exceeded.
It can be run at full power if the intake air is pre-warmed or mixed with machine air so that the
temperature at the compressor inlet is higher than +10 °C.
In the case of compressor inlet temperatures below +10 °C, full power is only permissible if the air
charge after the compressor is blown off so that the boost pressure does not exceed the values at
+20 °C.
