3.1.�Cylinder�head
Externally,�the�cylinder�head�of�the�B57�Super�engine�differs�from�that�of�the�B57�engine�only�in�a
few�details.�The�increased�engine�performance�requires�a�higher�gas�throughput�and�this�is�achieved
thanks�to�intake�ports�with�a�higher�capacity�and�larger�intake�valves.�For�handling�the�higher�thermal
and�mechanical�stress,�the�cylinder�head�undergoes�the�so-called�HIP�treatment.

3.1.1.�HIP�treatment�(hot�isostatic�pressing)
The�constantly�tighter�lightweight�construction�requirements�on�foundry�products�along�with�a
guarantee�of�high�operating�safety�and�reliability�require�optimal�utilisation�of�the�strength�properties�of
the�employed�materials.�Castings�generally�have�areas�with�pores�and�blow�holes�in�the�cast�structure.
Depending�on�their�size,�geometrical�shape,�volume�density�and�spatial�distribution,�they�can�affect
the�functional�safety�of�the�cast�part.�These�inner�cavities�reduce�the�bearing�cross-section,�which
in�turn�can�lead�to�micro�cracks.�To�counteract�the�reduction�in�strength�due�to�porosity,�cast�parts
undergo�hot�isostatic�pressing�(HIP).

The�unmachined�cylinder�head�or�crankcase�is�subjected�to�an�inert�gas�atmosphere�(e.g.�argon,
nitrogen)�in�special�systems�at�high�temperatures�(approx. 500°C)�and�pressures�(approx. 1,000 bar).
This�process�closes�pores�and�blow�holes�and�increases�fatigue�strength.�The�HIP�method�allows�safe
absorption�of�the�enormous�forces�that�occur�during�engine�operation.

3.2.�Cylinder�head�gasket
The�B57�Super�engine�receives�a�newly�developed�multi-layer�cylinder�head�gasket,�to�ensure
permanent�tightness�with�low�wear.�This�is�achieved�through�a�carrier�layer�and�four�functional�layers
(N57TU�Super�engine�has�three�functional�layers),�to�increase�the�elasticity�of�and�contact�pressure�in
the�cylinder�head�gasket.

Welded�stoppers�are�used�in�the�area�of�the�functional�layers�to�achieve�sufficient�contact�pressure�for
the�sealing.�The�central�function�of�the�carrier�layer�is�to�adjust�the�gasket�thickness,�depending�on�the
particular�piston�protrusion.

3.3.�Crankcase
The�crankcase�of�the�B57�engine�serves�as�the�basis�for�the�B57�Super�engine.�The�increased�output
of�the�B57�Super�engine�creates�greater�stress�on�the�crankcase,�so�that�modifications�become
necessary�for�optimising�strength.

The�B57�Super�engine�has�the�design�features�already�familiar�from�the�B57�engine:

• Fully�aluminium�crankcase�made�from�AlSi7
• Closed�deck�and�deep�skirt�design
• Bridge�holes�for�temperature�reduction�in�the�cylinder�bridge
• Main�bearing�cap�with�embossed�teeth
• Two-part�water�jacket�and�therefore�modified�flow�guidance�in�the�crankcase
• Cylinder�walls�coated�by�electric�arc�wire�spraying
• To�save�weight,�oil�returns�are�cast�rather�than�drilled
• Additional�oil�ducts,�designed�for�the�use�of�a�characteristic�map-controlled�oil�pump,�as�well
as�centrally�switchable�piston�cooling.

In�addition,�the�B57�Super�engine�has�the�following�features�at�the�crankcase:

• HIP-treated�crankcase�(section�3.1.1)
• Screw�connection�between�cylinder�head�and�main�bearing�cap�by�tie�bolts
• Water�jacket�inlet�at�the�crankcase�to�the�coolant�pump�enlarged�for�increased�coolant�flow
• Additional�oil�return�from�the�high-pressure�exhaust�turbochargers
• Additional�coolant�connection�for�compressor�cooling�of�the�low-pressure�stages.

Before�cleaning�the�sealing�surface�on�the�cylinder�crankcase�to�the�cylinder�head,�the�feed�lines�of�the
oil�ducts�must�be�sealed.�Furthermore,�no�machining�tools�may�be�used�for�the�cleaning.

In�order�to�prevent�damage�to�the�engine,�please�observe�the�current�repair�instructions.

3.3.1.�Tie�rod�screw�connection
As�familiar�from�the�N57TU�Super�engine,�in�the�B57�Super�engine�the�cylinder�head�is�connected
to�the�main�bearing�cap�by�tie�bolts.�The�bolts�are�fastened�not�directly�in�the�cylinder�crankcase,�but
in�threaded�bolts�which�are�pressed�into�the�crankcase�from�the�sides.�The�reason�for�this�is�the�high
tensile�load�which�the�aluminium�of�the�crankcase�would�not�withstand.

15
B57�Super�engine.
3.�Engine�mechanics.
The�bolts�are�pressed�into�the�crankcase�by�expansion�fitting,�namely�by�cooling�the�tie�bolts�to
-170°C�to�-200°C.�After�the�joining,�the�tie�rod�expands,�creating�the�tension�in�the�crankcase.�The�left
and�right�sealing�caps�on�the�crankcase�are�then�pressed�in�with�sealing�compound,�sealing�the�tie�bolt
bore�holes�to�the�outside.

Because�of�the�arrangement�of�the�coolant�ducts�in�the�crankcase,�the�tie�bolt�(graphic�A)�is�located
behind�the�primary�thermostat.�The�sealing�of�this�bore�hole�is�especially�important,�to�seal�the�tie�rod
from�the�coolant.�In�case�of�leakage,�the�coolant�could�otherwise�get�into�the�engine�oil�through�the�tie
bolt.�That's�why�in�engine�production�the�screw�plug�with�sealing�ring�is�additionally�glued�in�and�then
checked�for�tightness.

The�two�last�tie�bolt�bore�holes�(graphic�B)�are�not�sealed,�as�they�are�located�within�the�engine
housing�behind�the�chain�drive.

The�screw�plug�with�sealing�ring�(graphic�A)�is�not�available�as�a�replacement�part�and�is�only�included
with�the�crankcase.�Opening�the�screw�plug�is�not�necessary�and�therefore�also�not�permitted.

3.4.�Oil�sump
The�oil�sump�is�sealed�off�from�the�crankcase�on�the�B57�Super�engine�not�by�Loctite�5970�but�by�a
panel�rubber�seal.

In�addition�to�the�oil-level�sensor,�the�B57�Super�engine�has�an�oil�dipstick�to�check�the�oil�level.

To�ensure�faultless�tightness�of�the�oil�sump,�observe�the�current�repair�instructions.

3.5.�Crankshaft�drive

3.5.1.�Crankshaft
The�main�function�of�the�crankshaft�is�to�absorb�piston�forces�and�convert�them�to�torque.
Consequently�the�crankshaft�is�designed�for�the�high�loads�of�the�B57�Super�engine.

As�already�familiar�from�the�N57TU�Super�engine,�the�B57�Super�engine�also�has�galvanic�bearings
at�the�upper�and�lower�bearing�shells.�To�simplify�installation�of�the�main�bearing�shells,�laser-welded
thrust�washers�are�used�that�have�already�proven�their�merit�in�the�B47/57�engines.

When�exchanging�the�crankshaft�or�the�crankshaft�main�bearing�shells,�a�bearing�shell�classification
must�also�be�carried�out�on�the�B57�Super�engine.�Refer�to�the�current�repair�instructions�for�the�exact

Please�pay�attention�when�working�with�bearing�shells�as�the�bearing�shell�layer�can�easily�become

3.5.2.�Piston
Because�of�the�increased�specific�power,�the�thermal�and�mechanical�stress�on�the�pistons�also
increases.�The�mechanical�load�is�dominated�by�the�maximum�combustion�pressure,�which�in�the�B57
Super�engine�can�reach�up�to�210 bar�(B57D30T0�engine�approx.�180�bar;�N57TU�Super�engine�200
bar).�To�handle�this�enormous�stress,�the�pistons�have�the�following�design�features:

• Material:�aluminium-silicon�alloy
• Ring�carriers�made�of�high-strength�cast�iron
• C-groove�between�1st�and�2nd�piston�rings
• Ring�duct�for�cooling�the�piston�crown
• Bronze�bush�in�the�gudgeon�pin�boss

In�combustion�engines�blow-by�gases�generally�occur,�produced�by�gas�leakage�from�the�combustion
chamber�flowing�past�the�piston�ring�system.�Compression�rings�are�not�100%�tight�for�design
reasons,�so�that�small�amounts�of�blow-by�gases�always�get�into�the�crankcase.

19
B57�Super�engine.
3.�Engine�mechanics.
In�addition,�the�blow-by�gases�are�used�to�increase�the�contact�pressure�of�both�compression�rings.
Up�to�90%�of�the�total�contact�pressure�of�the�1st�compression�ring�is�produced�during�the�power
cycle�from�the�combustion�pressure.�The�pressure�is�applied�inside�and�above�at�the�compression�ring
and�presses�the�latter�even�more�against�the�piston�ring�groove�lower�edge�and�the�cylinder�wall.�This
contact�pressure�amplification�acts�mainly�on�the�1st�compression�ring�and�also,�in�a�weaker�form,�on
the�2nd compression�ring.�The�blow-by�gas�flow�acting�on�the�2nd piston�ring�is�determined�by�the
size�of�the�throttle�window�of�the�1st�piston�ring.�This�is�yielded�by�the�end�clearance�(x)�and�half�the
piston�clearance�(y).

The�end�clearance�of�the�1st�and�2nd�compression�rings�thus�ensures�the�contact�pressure�of�the�two
piston�rings�at�the�lower�piston�ring�groove�and�the�cylinder�wall�and�thereby�conducts�a�pre-defined
flow�of�blow-by�gases�into�the�crank�chamber.

Blow-by�gases,�reverse�blow-by�gases�and�oil�consumption�are�a�very�complex�subject�with�the�B57
Super�engine�with�210�bar�peak�pressure.�Some�modifications�to�the�pistons�and�compression�rings
were�therefore�necessary,�which�are�explained�below.

B57�Super�engine,�problems,�blow-by�gas�flow�too�great

If�the�end�clearance�at�the�compression�rings�is�too�high,�the�combustion�pressure�in�the�power�cycle
will�cause�a�rapid�drop�in�the�piston�ring�intermediate�pressure�(pressure�between�the�1st and�2nd
compression�rings).�The�blow-by�gas�flow�into�the�crankcase�then�rapidly�increases.

The�consequences�are�power�loss,�increased�heat�input�to�the�pistons�and�piston�rings�and�loss�of
lubricating�effect.�This�will�negatively�affect�the�service�life�and�functioning�of�the�engine.

B57�Super�engine.
3.�Engine�mechanics.

B57�Super�engine,�approach,�reduction�of�end�clearance�at�2nd�compression�ring

Reducing�the�end�clearance�of�the�2nd compression�ring�reduces�the�blow-by�gas�flow.�Reducing�the
size�of�the�throttle�window�increases�the�piston�ring�intermediate�pressure�and�less�blow-by�gas�flows
into�the�crank�chamber.�In�addition,�reducing�the�end�clearance�will�preserve�the�intermediate�pressure
longer.

During�the�power�cycle�the�maximum�combustion�pressure�drops�because�of�the�downward�motion
of�the�piston.�The�piston�ring�intermediate�pressure�available�for�a�longer�time�may,�in�certain�engine
operating�states,�be�greater�than�the�combustion�pressure�present.�This�pressure�difference�then
lifts�the�1st�piston�ring�from�the�piston�groove�lower�edge�and�"reverse�blow-by"�occurs.�This
"reverse�blow-by"�flow�transports�the�blow-by�gas�enriched�with�engine�oil�between�the�rings�into�the
combustion�chamber,�resulting�in�increased�engine�oil�consumption.

3.�Engine�mechanics.

B57�Super�engine,�solution,�pistons�with�C-groove

The�phases�in�which�the�intermediate�ring�pressure�exceeds�the�combustion�pressure�present�must
therefore�be�avoided.�Increasing�the�volume�with�grooves,�chamfered�edges�or�depressions�at�the
piston�can�prevent�this.�The�additional�volume�in�the�area�between�the�rings�enables�a�fast�and�uniform
pressure�compensation�and�makes�sure�that�the�intermediate�pressure�will�not�exceed�the�combustion
pressure.�The�piston�of�the�B57�Super�engine�therefore�has�a�C-groove�between�the�compression
rings,�to�prevent�"reverse�blow-by".

The�optimisation�measures�at�the�pistons�and�piston�rings�reduce�the�blow-by�gas�flow�given�normal
oil�consumption.

During�the�installation�of�piston�rings,�please�observe�the�repair�instructions.�Piston�rings�must�not�be
inserted�the�wrong�way�round.�Incorrect�installation�will�result�in�engine�damage.

is�the�same�as�on�the�N57TU�Super�engine.

Higher�forces�act�on�the�lower�timing�chain�because�of�the�increased�fuel�injection�rate�and�the
resulting�increase�in�delivery�of�the�high�pressure�pump.�This�necessitates�the�use�of�extruded�chain
sleeves.�The�sleeves�are�not�wound�from�a�metal�strip,�but�deep-drawn�and�therefore�more�rigid.�For

4.2.�Exhaust�turbocharger�oil�supply
The�oil�supply�to�the�four�exhaust�turbochargers�must�be�ensured�over�the�entire�operating�range�of
the�B57�Super�engine.�This�is�required�as�most�BMW�diesel�engines�and�also�the�B57�Super�engine
use�exhaust�turbochargers�with�plain�bearings.�Because�of�the�oil,�the�charger�shaft�is�mounted�in�the
plain�bearing�bush�without�contact�or�wear�and�is�lubricated.

The�oil�return�occurs�practically�without�pressure�and�must�therefore�be�considerably�greater�than�the
oil�supply.�The�oil�return�to�the�crankcase�occurs�above�the�engine�oil�level.

The�oil�supply�and�return�lines�for�the�exhaust�turbochargers�can�become�clogged�by�oil�sludge�or

The�cooling�system�of�the�B57�Super�engine�is�very�complex.�The�engine�and�charge�air�cooling�both

5.4.�Charge�air�cooling
Increasing�charging�pressures�in�turbocharged�engines�lead�to�higher�and�higher�charge�air
temperatures.�This�necessitates�efficient�charge�air�cooling�systems�that�will�allow�further�lowering�of
the�charge�air�temperature.�The�lowest�temperature�level�to�be�reached�is�theoretically�the�ambient
temperature.�To�attain�an�ideal�charge�air�temperature�level�given�a�high�performance�requirement,�the
B57�Super�engine�uses�indirect�charge�air�cooling.

In�indirect�charge�air�cooling�the�heat�from�the�charge�air�coolant�intermediate�heat�exchanger�and�the
charge�air�coolant�heat�exchanger�is�not�discharged�directly�into�the�ambient�air�but�dissipated�via�the
low-temperature�circuit.�The�latter�has�a�low-temperature�radiator�integrated�in�the�cooling�module.

The�integrated�charge�air�cooling�makes�it�possible�to�increase�the�air�density�and�therefore�the
amount�of�oxygen�in�the�cylinder.�Moreover,�the�lower�charge�air�temperature�creates�less�of�a�thermal
load�on�the�engine.�Despite�the�higher�engine�performance,�the�fuel�consumption,�nitrogen�oxides�and
carbon�dioxide�emissions�can�thereby�be�reduced.

Compared�with�direct�charge�air�cooling,�indirect�charge�air�cooling�yields�the�following�positive
effects:

• Reduced�charge�air�pressure�drop
• Improved�engine�dynamics�through�lower�charge�air�volume�(short�charge�air�path/improved
response�characteristics)
• Improved�engine�efficiency�through�the�increase�in�charge�air�density
• Increased�dynamic�cooling�power.

5.4.2.�Electric�coolant�pump
The�B57�Super�engine�has�an�electric�coolant�pump�to�circulate�the�coolant�in�the�low-temperature
cooling�system.�Its�rated�power�is�80 W.

Actuation�is�by�the�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�via�a�PWM�signal.�The�control�electronics�inside�the
pump�adjust�the�required�pump�speed�based�on�the�PWM�duty�cycle�and�also�come�with�self-
diagnosis�in�order�to�detect�dry�running.�The�electric�coolant�pump�features�the�following�connections:

• 12 V�voltage�supply
• Ground
• Pulse�width�modulation�signal�with�fault�reporting.

speed
Maximum�pump�speed >�92�%�-�100�%
(e.g.�short�circuit�to�B+)

In�addition,�in�case�of�overheating�of�the�integrated�control�electronics�> 145°C�the�pump�speed�is
limited�to�60%.

Dry-running�protection

The�electric�coolant�pump�in�the�low-temperature�cooling�system�has�dry-running�protection.�This
detection�occurs�via�the�control�electronics�in�the�pump�and�not�via�the�DDE.�This�is�necessary,�as�no
coolant�level�indicator�is�integrated�in�the�low-temperature�expansion�tank,�so�that�a�low�coolant�level
cannot�be�detected.

To�avoid�overheating�the�coolant�pump,�the�starting�current�of�the�pump�motor�is�monitored.�Should
the�starting�current�fall�below�a�pre-defined�limit�value,�the�coolant�level�may�be�too�low.�If,�after�four
consecutive�start-up�attempts�of�5 seconds�each,�an�insufficient�starting�current�is�detected,�the
electric�coolant�pump�is�shut�down.�After�the�dry�running�detection�the�control�electronics�in�the�pump
connects�the�PWM�signal�line�to�ground�for�1 second.�"Dry�running�detected"�is�thereby�signalled�to

the�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�and�a�fault�memory�entry�set.�In�addition,�because�of�an�excessive�charge
air�temperature�in�the�intake�system,�a�failure�of�the�low-temperature�cooling�system�would�lead�to
consequential�faults.

After�a�terminal�change,�the�pump�electronics�start�again�with�the�dry-running�detection.�If�the�coolant
has�been�topped�up�and�the�pump�electronics�detect�a�corresponding�starting�current,�the�requested
pump�speed�is�set.

5.4.3.�Coolant�temperature�sensor
The�coolant�temperature�sensor�lies�in�the�feed�line�from�the�electric�coolant�pump�to�the�charge�air
coolers.�The�temperature�measurement�occurs�by�means�of�a�temperature-dependent�resistor�with�a
negative�temperature�coefficient�(NTC).

The�coolant�temperature�sensor�is�one�of�the�measured�variables�that�the�DDE�control�unit�uses�for
the�speed�control�of�the�electric�fan.�As�the�temperature�increases�in�the�low-temperature�circuit,�the
cooling�air�flow�is�increased�by�the�radiator�module.�In�addition,�the�coolant�temperature�is�also�used
to�control�the�electric�coolant�pump,�by�having�the�DDE�adjust�the�PWM�duty�cycle�depending�on�the
cooling�requirement.

5.5.�Low-pressure�stage�compressor�cooling
The�low-pressure�stages�of�the�B57�Super�engine�come�with�compressor�cooling�in�the�form�of�rear
wall�cooling.�Through�an�integrated�coolant�duct,�coolant�flows�around�the�compressor�rear�wall�and
thereby�limits�the�charge�air�temperature�to�185°C.�This�is�required�for�a�high�charge�air�flow�rate�(high
charger�speed)�and�high�turbocharging�level�(near�full�load),�to�prevent�coking�of�the�compressor.

This�measure�lowers�the�compressor�outlet�temperature�and�optimises�the�compressor�efficiency�as
well�as�the�engine�efficiency.�This�also�reduces�the�thermal�load�of�the�low-pressure�stages�resulting
from�the�use�of�low-pressure�side�exhaust-gas�recirculation.

Difference�in�speed�in�high-pressure�stages approx.�5,000�rpm

High-pressure�stages�1�and�2�are�attached�at�the�top�at�the�exhaust�manifold�and�integrated�in
a�shared�housing.�In�case�of�repair,�the�two�high-pressure�stages�can�therefore�only�be�replaced
together.

High-pressure�stage�1�is�the�permanently�driven�exhaust�turbocharger.�High-pressure�stage 2�is
activatable�through�a�turbine�control�flap�integrated�in�the�turbine�housing.

High-pressure�stage�2�is�activated�by�virtue�of�the�following�measured�variables:

• Air�mass
• Engine�speed

The�DDE�actuates�the�following�vacuum�units�via�the�actuators:

• Turbine�control�flap�is�opened
• Compressor�activation�valve,�high-pressure�stage�2,�is�opened.

The�electrical�charging�pressure�controllers�of�the�two�high-pressure�stages�provide�an�especially
needs-based�form�of�control�through�the�variable�turbine�vane�geometry.�The�variable�turbine
geometry�exhaust�turbocharger�responds�even�at�low�exhaust�flows�and�is�optimally�adapted�to�the
exhaust�flow�by�adjusting�the�guide�vanes.

Electrical�variable�turbine�geometry�controllers

The�variable�turbine�geometry�controllers�of�the�high-pressure�stages�are�simple�controller�drives
(simple�controllers).�The�control�variables�are�adjusted�by�the�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�under
controlled�conditions�and�the�variable�turbine�geometry�controller�merely�implements�a�movement�to
adjust�the�guide�vanes.�For�activation�an�H-bridge�is�used�which�enables�the�motor�to�be�activated�in
the�opposite�direction.

Because�of�this,�the�variable�turbine�geometry�controllers�are�activated�with�a�positive�or�negative
pulse-width�modulated�signal.�The�positive�or�negative�pulse-width�modulated�signal�output�by�the
Digital�Diesel�Electronics�therefore�serves�as�the�activation�voltage�for�the�DC�motor�to�open�or�close
the�guide�vanes.�The�adjustment�speed�and�the�direction�of�movement�are�specified�via�the�duty�cycle
and�the�current�direction�(positive/negative)�respectively.

6.�Intake�air�and�exhaust�system.
Position�sensors�in�the�variable�turbine�geometry�controllers�report�the�actual�position�of�the�guide
vanes�to�the�Digital�Diesel�Electronics.

The�variable�turbine�geometry�controllers�have�the�following�connections:

• Positive�actuation,�DC�engine�(pulse-width�modulated�signal)
• Negative�actuation,�DC�engine�(pulse-width�modulated�signal)
• Voltage�supply,�position�sensor
• Ground�connection,�position�sensor
• Signal�line,�position�sensor

Temperature�sensor�at�the�compressor�inlet�of�high-pressure�stage�2

The�B57�Super�engine�has�an�additional�temperature�sensor�at�the�compressor�inlet.�It�serves�as
component�protection�and�can�detect�overheating�of�high-pressure�stage�2.

In�the�operating�range�up�to�approx.�2,800 rpm�the�turbine�control�flap�closes�and�high-pressure
stage 2�is�deactivated.�Leakage�in�the�vacuum�system�may�prevent�the�turbine�control�flap�from�fully
closing,�so�that�exhaust�gas�will�flow�onto�the�turbine�wheel.�Because�of�the�resulting�compressor
operation,�the�air�taken�in�by�the�compressor�is�compressed�and�heated.�The�resulting�charging
pressure�is�too�low�to�open�the�compressor�activation�valve,�so�that�the�heated�compressed�air�cannot
flow�out;�in�this�case�high-pressure�stage 2�overheats.

To�prevent�this,�the�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�(DDE)�register�the�air�temperature�via�the�temperature
sensor�at�the�compressor�inlet.�If�the�temperature�exceeds�185°C,�the�engine�protection�function�in
the�DDE�is�activated�and�power�reduction�occurs.

To�improve�the�response�characteristics�of�the�large�low-pressure�stage�of�the�N57TU�Super�engine,
the�B57�Super�engine�has�two�smaller,�permanently�driven�exhaust�turbochargers.�The�lower�inertia
torques�improve�the�response�characteristics�of�the�low-pressure�stages�at�low�engine�speeds,
through�a�faster�engine�speed�build-up�and�charging�pressure�build-up.

The�two�low-pressure�stages�are�arranged�in�series�with�the�high-pressure�stages�and�attached�at�the
bottom�of�the�exhaust�manifold.�Low-pressure�stage 1�also�accommodates�the�wastegate�valve.

In�contrast�to�the�high-pressure�stages,�the�low-pressure�stages�on�the�compressor�side�are

The�low-pressure�stage�bypass�flap�has�the�following�tasks:

• Closed�bypass�flap
- Exhaust�gas�from�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�is�conducted�into�the�clean�air

• Bypass�flap�open
- Improvement�of�the�dynamics�at�high�load�request�(full�load),�from�idle.

The�exhaust�gas�of�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�is�fed�via�the�housing�of�the�low-
pressure�stage�bypass�directly�into�the�clean�air�pipe�and�to�the�clean�air�(following�graphic A).�In�the
engine�operating�range�with�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�control�the�low-pressure�stages
are�not�bypassed;�the�bypass�flap�is�closed.�The�reason�is�that,�at�high�load�requests�(full�load),�no
exhaust�gas�is�fed�back�via�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�branch.

The�low-pressure�stage�bypass�flap�enables�faster�charging�pressure�build-up�from�idle�at�high�load
requests�(full�load).�Through�opening�of�the�bypass�flap�the�clean�air�is�directly�suctioned�from�the
clean�air�pipe�of�high-pressure�stage 1�and�compressed�(graphic�B).�The�low-pressure�stages�are
then�bypassed�until�they�can�build�up�a�pressure�ratio�by�themselves.�This�reduces�the�vacuum�in�the
intake�area�for�high-pressure�stage 1,�which�shortens�the�intake�path�considerably�and�improves�the
dynamics�of�the�charging�pressure�build-up.

The�vacuum�unit�opens�the�low-pressure�stage�bypass�flap�under�vacuum�pressure.

The�charging�pressure�sensor�is�installed�between�the�high-pressure�and�low-pressure�stages�on�the
housing�of�the�low-pressure�stage�bypass�and�transmits�the�charging�pressure�present�to�the�Digital

A�portion�of�the�exhaust�gas�is�fed�via�the�wastegate�valve�past�the�turbine�of�low-pressure�stage�1.
As�the�two�low-pressure�stages�are�arranged�in�parallel,�the�wastegate�valve�reduces�the�exhaust�flow
from�both�low-pressure�stages.

The�vacuum�unit�opens�the�wastegate�valve�when�a�vacuum�is�present�and�can�be�variably�adjusted.

Charge�air�cooling

Because�of�the�compression�operation�of�the�high-�and�low-pressure�stages�the�charge�air
temperature�sharply�increases.�This�has�an�essential�influence�on�combustion�and�therefore�on�engine
efficiency.�So�that�the�charge�air�available�at�the�end�of�the�turbocharger�routing�is�not�heated�too
greatly,�charge�air�cooling�occurs�in�two�stages.�To�ensure�more�effective�charge�air�cooling,�on�the
B57�Super�engine�the�coolant-cooled�charge�air�coolers�are�larger�compared�with�the�N57TU�Super

very�low�cross-section�and�a�further�increase�in�the�air�flow�rate�is�thus�no�longer�possible.

The�pump�limit�is�reached�if�the�flow�eases�as�a�result�of�a�very�low�volumetric�flow�and�excessive
pressure�ratios�of�the�compressor�guide�vanes�and�the�already�compressed�air�flows�back�through
the�exhaust�turbocharger.�This�behaviour�causes�extreme�noise�emissions,�("pumping")�and�high

Model-based�charging�pressure�control

The�charging�pressure�control�is�executed�by�a�model-based�pre-control�(MBC�=�Model�Based�Boost
Control).�This�means�that�all�criteria�for�the�most�efficient�and�dynamic�build-up�of�charging�pressure
possible�are�calculated�in�a�complex�calculation�model.�The�required�control�values�are�thus�forwarded
on�to�the�charging�pressure�controllers�quickly�and�directly.

Furthermore,�in�this�model,�all�operating�and�ambient�conditions�are�taken�into�consideration,�meaning
that�correction�characteristic�maps�in�the�DDE�can�be�omitted.�Charging�pressure�control�deviations
are�recognised�by�the�DDE�immediately�and�adjusted.

The�charging�pressure�control�is�also�monitored�by�the�engine�protection�function,�to�keep�the
engine�operational�in�the�event�of�failure�of�the�vacuum�system�or�a�line�discontinuity.�On�the�B57
Super�engine,�no�charging�pressure�control�is�possible�in�case�of�failure�of�the�vacuum�system;�for

Vacuum-controlled�actuator Basic�setting
Low-pressure�stage�bypass�flap Closed
Compressor�switching�flap,�high-pressure Closed
stage�2
Turbine�control�flap,�high-pressure�stage�2 Open
Wastegate�valve Closed

In�case�of�failure�of�the�vacuum�supply,�the�engine�would�be�constantly�charged�by�all�four�exhaust
turbochargers,�as�all�vacuum-controlled�actuators�have�the�basic�setting.�In�this�scenario�both�high-
pressure�stages�are�jointly�in�operation�also�in�the�bottom�engine�speed�range.�It�is�then�difficult�for
the�target�charging�pressure�of�up�to�approx. 2,800 rpm�to�be�attained,�as�the�volume�of�exhaust�gas
for�the�exhaust�turbochargers�is�insufficient.�The�engine�performance�is�reduced�to�a�non-critical
level,�to�protect�both�the�engine�and�the�exhaust�emission�system�from�overheating.�At�higher�engine
speeds�and�load�conditions,�the�charging�pressure�of�high-pressure�stage�2�presses�the�compressor
activation�valve�open�into�the�direction�of�flow.�In�this�case,�the�electrical�charging�pressure�controllers
of�high-pressure�stages�1�and�2�are�active�and�attempt�to�control�the�charging�pressure.

To�protect�the�engine�against�damage,�in�case�of�excessive�charging�pressures�the�engine
performance�is�reduced�to�a�non-critical�level.�To�this�end�the�DDE�enables�a�lower�fuel�injection�rate
and�thereby�significantly�reduces�the�engine�torque,�indeed�noticeably�so�for�the�driver.

In�the�past,�the�ventilation�of�the�vacuum�system�has�been�perceived�as�an�unpleasant�vibrating
sound�when�the�engine�was�turned�off.�The�noise�came�from�the�clocked�activation�of�the�electric
changeover�valve�of�the�EGR�bypass�flap.�The�ventilation�reduces�the�vacuum�pressure�upstream�of
the�non-return�valve�of�the�brake�servo�and�thus�creates�a�pressure�difference�at�the�non-return�valve.
Because�of�this�pressure�difference,�the�non-return�valve�is�always�securely�closed.

In�the�absence�of�this�pressure�difference,�the�non-return�valve�might�remain�permanently�open.�The
vacuum�in�the�brake�servo�could�then�not�be�maintained�and�the�consequence�after�a�short�stationary
period�would�be�a�hard�brake�pedal.�In�automatic�transmission�vehicles,�this�would�prevent�engine
starting�with�a�low�brake�pedal�force�applied.

To�prevent�the�unpleasant�vibrating�sound�and�preserve�the�ventilation�function,�an�additional�electric
changeover�valve�is�employed�on�the�B57�Super�engine.�Selective�activation�after�engine�switch-off
allows�noiseless�ventilation.

7.1.3.�Electric�changeover�valve
The�electric�changeover�valve�either�switches�the�vacuum�through�to�the�vacuum�unit�or�ventilates�the
latter.�It�is�not�an�infinitely�variable�control,�but�a�"black/white"�control.

The�following�components/functions�are�activated�by�the�electric�changeover�valves:

• Bypass�flap,�exhaust-gas�recirculation�cooler
• Switchable�engine�mount
• Ventilation�of�the�vacuum�system
• Compressor�activation�valve,�high-pressure�stage�2
• Turbine�control�flap,�high-pressure�stage�2
• Low-pressure�stage�bypass�flap.

7.1.4.�Electro-pneumatic�pressure�converter
The�electropneumatic�pressure�converter�uses�the�vacuum�in�the�system�and�the�ambient�pressure�to
create�a�control�pressure�(mixed�pressure),�which�it�then�applies�to�the�vacuum�unit.�This�enables�any
variable�position�between�opened�and�closed�to�be�set.�The�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�(DDE)�delivers
the�electrical�signal�on�which�the�control�pressure�setting�is�based.

The�following�components�are�activated�by�the�pressure�converter:

• Wastegate�valve,�low-pressure�stage�1.

7.1.5.�Vacuum�reservoir
The�vacuum�reservoir�makes�available�a�vacuum�of�approx.�600�cm³�and�thus�covers�a�short-term
larger�vacuum�requirement.�In�case�of�a�drop�in�vacuum�pressure�in�the�system,�the�vacuum-controlled
actuators�of�the�charging�pressure�control�can�then�continue�to�be�actuated.�Otherwise,�a�power
reduction�of�the�engine�could�result.

Such�a�drop�in�the�vacuum�system�can�occur�if�the�brake�booster�consumes�a�great�deal�of�partial
vacuum.�Without�this�vacuum�reservoir,�the�vacuum�pump�would�have�to�be�significantly�larger.
There�would�then�be�sufficient�vacuum�available�to�control�the�turbocharger�group�if�the�brake�servo
were�working�to�the�maximum.�However,�the�capacity�of�such�a�pump�would�only�be�required�very
rarely.�A�vacuum�reservoir�is�therefore�the�more�efficient�option�to�cover�the�maximum�partial�vacuum
requirement.

The�adaptations�to�the�high�pressure�pump�and�to�the�injectors�were�necessary�in�order�to�allow�an
increase�in�the�fuel�pressure�to�as�much�as�2,700 bar�under�certain�engine�operating�conditions.�The

through�the�following�measures:

• Greater�material�strength�of�the�nozzle�body
• Weight-optimisation�of�the�moving�masses
• Optimisation�of�the�hydraulic�efficiency.

Index Explanation
1 Seven-position�code�(compensation�value)
2 Injector�voltage�compensation

On�account�of�the�tolerance�when�the�injectors�are�manufactured,�the�fuel�quantity�actually�injected
deviates�slightly�from�the�fuel�quantity�calculated.�This�deviation�is�determined�after�each�injector�is
produced�at�various�operating�points�by�means�of�measurements.�An�adjustment�value�(IQC�code)
is�created�for�each�injector�from�these�measurements.�The�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�uses�these
adjustment�values�to�make�minor�corrections�to�the�calculated�fuel�injection�rate�and�thereby�reduces
the�cylinder-specific�deviation.

As�with�the�hydraulic�tolerances,�for�the�piezo�injectors,�additional�information�about�the�stroke
behaviour�of�the�piezo�element�is�added.�This�is�a�separate�classification�for�the�injector�voltage
compensation.�This�information�is�needed�due�to�the�individual�voltage�requirement�of�each�injector.

Differential�pressure�sensor,�diesel�particulate�filter

The�Digital�Diesel�Electronics�(DDE)�use�the�signals�of�the�differential�pressure�sensor�to�control
the�diesel�particulate�filter�regeneration.�The�differential�pressure�sensor�measures�the�difference
between�two�absolute�pressures,�the�differential�pressure.�The�measurement�occurs�upstream�of�and
downstream�from�the�diesel�particulate�filter.�If�the�differential�pressure�exceeds�a�predefined�value,
the�load�status�of�the�diesel�particulate�filter�will�be�exceeded�and�the�regeneration�will�start.

Differential�pressure�sensor,�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation

The�differential�pressure�sensor�of�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�registers�the�following
pressures:

• Exhaust�gas�pressure�upstream�of�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�cooler
• Intake�air�pressure�(pressure�between�air�cleaner�and�compressor�in�the�compressor�bypass
housing).

In�the�differential�pressure�sensor,�both�pressures�are�used�to�form�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas
recirculation�differential�pressure.�In�addition�to�the�determined�differential�pressure,�the�intake�air
pressure�of�the�DDE�is�also�reported�as�a�relative�pressure.�The�DDE�requires�this�pressure�value�to
control�the�low-pressure�exhaust-gas�recirculation�and�the�exhaust�flap.

The�SENT�interface�is�used�to�transmit�the�differential�pressure�and�the�intake�air�pressure�to�the�DDE.
This�allows�transmission�of�two�measured�variables�with�no�change�in�the�number�of�lines.
