![Page 13: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principle qualities for a fuel
• Engines are designed to operate on regular grade gasoline
• octane rating– method of comparing anti-knock qualities of
fuels used in spark ignition engines
• names premium, regular, low grade used
• premium gasoline can be used but no major benefits
13
![Page 14: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Qualities of fuel
• Volatility– tendency to change from a liquid to vapor
or evaporate– most important in starting and performance
• volatility is low - insufficient vapor = poor starting
• volatility is high - cause the carburetor vapor lock
14
![Page 15: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Quality of fuel• Oxidative stability
– tendency of gasoline to form gum in storage• most gasoline is stabilized by antioxidants• freedom from dirt and moisture depends on
handling & storing• additives added to raise octane number,
reduce spark plug fouling, gum formation, rust, and deposits in intake system
15
![Page 16: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Quality of fuel
• Pour point– diesel must be able to flow at the lowest
expected temperature, when ceases to flow is known
• Cloud point– diesel becomes cloudy and forms wax
crystals at temperatures above pour point, temperature which clouding begins
16
![Page 17: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Quality of fuel
• Injection pumps perform most effectively when fuel has proper viscosity
• viscosity– measure of resistance of a fluid to flow
17

Storing fuels
• Gasoline will oxidize & form gum deposits if stored for a long period of time
• refiners add inhibitors that will protect fuel for 6 to 12 months in normal storage
• time is greatly reduced is exposed to sunlight and high temperatures
21
![Page 22: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Storing diesel
• Keeping free of dirt and water is very important
• fuel injection system is fitted with parts held within millionths of an inch clearance
• dirt particles can ruin the parts and cause expensive repairs
• water can cause corrosion that ruins highly polished surfaces of the injectors
22
![Page 23: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ways to prevent dirt from entering diesel fuel system

Engine oils
• Several functions
• keep a protective film on moving parts to resist corrosion and rusting
• reduces friction and wear caused by metal to metal contact of moving parts– must maintain enough viscosity or
thickness to provide a cushion between the moving parts under all temperatures
26
![Page 27: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Cooling System
• Liquid cooling system is most common method used to get rid of heat
• 1/3 of heat created turns the crankshaft
• 1/3 is lost through the exhaust system
• 1/3 removed by the cooling system
• failure to remove heat causes engine damage due to heat build up
42
![Page 43: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
2 basic methods
• Air can be forced through the engine by baffles, ducts, and blowers
• liquid can be circulated through the engine to carry away heat from engine components to a heat exchanger
43
![Page 44: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Parts of the liquid cooling system
• Radiator– heat is released to atmosphere– provide reservoir for liquid to operate
• fan– forces cooling air through the radiator to
dissipate the heat
• water pump– circulates the coolant through the system
44
![Page 45: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Parts of the cooling system
• Distribution tubes and transfer holes– directs extra coolant to extra hot spots
• fan belt– transmits power from crankshaft to fan and
pump
• connecting hoses– flexible connections between the engine
and other parts45
![Page 46: Unit D: Agricultural Equipment Systems Lesson 1: Understanding Applications of Fluids and Lubricants in Agricultural Equipment 1](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5514cfd955034693478b4efd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Parts of the cooling system
• Thermostat– a heat operated valve that controls the flow
of coolant to radiator to maintain correct operating temperatures
– coolant is cold, thermostat closed to circulate coolant in engine for faster warm up
– coolant warms up, thermostat opens to circulate coolant through radiator for normal cooling
46

Fuel System
• Achieve maximum fuel economy and horsepower, periodic service must be performed– carburetor not adjusted correctly, fuel
consumption can be excessive or power can be lost
– strainer should be cleaned regularly– fuel filters changed at regular intervals

Diesel Fuel System
• Servicing injection pump and injector nozzles require special tools and equipment
• other components on low pressure side, fuel filters, sediment bowl, and tank should be carefully monitored
• fuel is drained, be sure to bled air from lines

Lubricating system
• Serviced regularly to prevent premature wear and equipment damage
• consist of checking oil levels daily and changing oil and filters at regularly intervals– oil contamination reduces engine life more
than any other factor– oil loses its lubricating qualities as it gets dirty
and additive wear out56

Cooling system
• Anything that slows down the movement of heat from the cylinders causes the engine to overheat
• regular maintenance
• repair leaks
• leakage into crankcase can dilute oil
• corrosion occurs

Corrosion in cooling system• Chemical
– direct chemical reaction reaction between coolant and metal parts
• Electrolytic– reaction between 2 different metals joined
together, in contact with a solution which conducts electricity
• Erosive– mechanical abrasion from particles within
system58
