Školení v Kielu ze 4 diagnostických oříšků rozlousknuty 4🤓, vlastně 5... ..když už jsem balil diagnostiku a byl na odjezdu, jeden z účastníků: "Máme ještě jednoho zákazníka, co se mu občas bíle kouří z výfuků. Zavolám mu, je tu za 20 minut. Už sem jezdí 2 roky. Dáte to? "... Jo: - napojeno - spuštěna servisní regenerace - a hele BINGO !!! 🎯 Co se stalo? Snímač teploty na oxikatu ukazoval 899 °C, ale to není možné, když o 10 cm dále je jenom 306,8 °C! Snímač lhal o 600 °C, ale diagnostika ho do paměti závad nikdy nezapsala, protož e začal lhát až po ohřátí a řídící jednotka nebere takový rozdíl, jako "chybu", protože za pár sekund se ty teploty zvednou na vyšší úroveň. Vysvětlení: Jakmile se ECU motoru rozhodne regenerovat, zahájí ohřev oxikatu a čeká na startovací teplotu. Jakmile dosáhne 300 °C, začne dostřikovat 40 ° až 70 ° za horní úvrať. Oxikat ale nemá teplotu 300 °C, nýbrž 180 ° až 200 °C a to je katalyzátor příliš studený na to, aby podpořil chemickou reakci HC+O2>CO2+H2O. Chemická a exotermická reakce se nekoná, nafta se na horkém povrchu oxikatu vypaří a zakouří bíle... Výměna teplotního snímače T2, co "kecal" a dvouletá záhada je za půl hodiny odhalena.👇 #diagnostika #servis #automobilovýprůmysl
