EuroTech CURSOR  walkaround  engine brake - “classical”

classical butterfly valve

exhaust engine brake

Disadvantages
 brake performance
strongly depending
from the engine size :
big displacement >>
high counter-pressure >>
cycle 1 2 3 4 high brake force
expansion of the compressed air  noisy
pushes piston down thus  exhaust counter-pressure
canceling the brake effect produced creates additional engine
during the compression cycle stress (high temperature !)

 EuroTech CURSOR  walkaround  engine brake - “de-compression”

de-compression engine brake - principle

1 2 3 4
 engine brake effect during the compression cycle
 compressed air is released just before TDC through the
slightly open exhaust valves
 strongly reduced pressure to the down-moving piston

 EuroTech CURSOR  walkaround  engine brake - IVECO solution

HOW ?
by pumping fresh air into the cylinder (intake cycle)

100% 140% WHY ?

the engine brake efficiency

is proportional
to the
air density in the cylinder
during the compression cycle 2

slightly opens the valves

… simultaneously the
VG turbine inlet cross
section is reduced
providing more air
