engine type under Technical data in the Installation manual.
The air intake should be located so that the intake air is as clean as possible and so
that neither the engine exhaust gases nor heated air from the engine compartment can
mix with the intake air.
The intake air must not contain chemical pollutants, such as CFCs.
The air intake should be designed to exclude water, snow and contamination.
Maximum permissible pressure drop is 30 mbar. This value includes the pressure
drop in the new air filter, connected coarse filter and in the fresh air line.

If the planned fresh air line is longer than 5 m, the required diameter must be calcu-
10 20 30 40 50 (m3 /min)
lated as illustrated. The vacuum upstream of the turbocharger must then be measured.
Calculation of minimum diameter of the intake line
The pressure drop measurement is normally made at the vacuum indicator. If the line
between the filter and turbocharger is not a Scania standard line, the pressure drop
A = Intake line diameter
should be measured on a straight section as close to the turbocharger as possible.
B = Air consumption
IMPORTANT!
The total pressure drop with a blocked air filter must not exceed 65 mbar.
Engine damage will not occur up to 100 mbar, but fuel consumption and smoke will
increase. Above 100 mbar there is a risk that the air volume to the engine will be in-
adequate, resulting in breakdowns.
If there is a risk that the temperature will exceed 90°C, the engine compartment must
be ventilated.
When dimensioning the engine compartment ventilation, other air consumers in the
engine compartment must also be considered.
The amount of radiated heat emitted by various engines is indicated under Technical
data in the Installation manual.
The exhaust pipes should be insulated to reduce the radiated heat in the engine com-
partment. See Exhaust system in the Installation manual.
The air intake should be located so that the intake air is as clean as possible and so 30
that neither the engine exhaust gases nor heated air from the engine compartment can
mix with the intake air to the engine. 20
In the chart on the right-hand side, the recommended minimum area for the air intake 10
can be read from the engine air consumption.

If several engines or other air consumers are located in the same engine compart-
ment, the diameter should be increased correspondingly. Calculation of minimum air intake area
Measure the pressure difference during operation, when the engine or engines have
been running for about 5 minutes at full load. The pressure difference must not ex-
ceed 1 mbar. For engines without a fan, a vacuum of 2 mbar is permissible.
For installations where the engine draws the intake air directly from the engine com-
partment, the engine compartment must normally be equipped with a ventilation sys-
tem. This system should extract the air heated by radiation etc. in order for the
requirement of a low intake air temperature to be met.
The radiated heat from the engine exhaust pipe downstream of the engine must also
be taken into account. The heat radiation depends on how much of the line is inside
the engine compartment and how much of it is insulated.
There is also additional heat due to efficiency losses in driven units located in the en-
gine compartment.
The amount of radiated heat emitted by the engine is indicated in the tables showing
the radiated heat for the relevant engine type under Technical data in the Installation
manual.
Air cleaners
The engines are delivered with air cleaners with paper filter. The air cleaner is avail-
able with or without integrated self-cleaning precleaner.
If the air cleaner has a precleaner, it always has a safety cartridge. This protects the
engine from contamination, for example, if the main filter is damaged or when re-
newing the main filter element. An air cleaner without precleaner is not available
with safety cartridge.
Bear in mind the following when installing an air cleaner:
• The air cleaner must be fitted so that it is easily accessible for cleaning and filter
renewal.
• The vacuum indicator must be positioned so that it can be read easily.
• In order to be able to remove the filter element clearance in the air cleaner exten-
sion is required.
• The intake line between the air cleaner and the turbocharger must be sealed so that
no unfiltered air can be drawn into the engine. The intake line must be designed
in such a way that it cannot collapse onto itself as a result of a large pressure drop.
The intake line should be able to withstand a vacuum of 200 mbar before it col-
lapses onto itself.
• The material and composition of the intake line between the air filter and turbo-
charger must be such that it cannot release rust or objects that could damage the
engine.
For such equipment, Scania refers to filter system specialists who can give recom-
mendations about the system which is most suitable for a particular type of engine
installation.
It is also important to make sure that any insulation in the engine compartment and
around the exhaust pipes cannot come loose and be drawn into the intake line.
If a non-Scania air filter is used, engine air consumption and filter element pore size
must be considered.

Crankcase ventilation
A B
Open crankcase ventilation
If the engine is located in an enclosed space, crankcase gases should be led out of the
engine compartment.
This is especially important when the engine is equipped with a driving fan since the
crankcase gases will otherwise settle on the radiator, binding dirt and dust, which re-
duces the cooling effect.

The following points are important for external ventilation of crankcase gases: 1 1
• The crankcase gases must not be led to outlet ducts for engine compartment ven- Open crankcase ventilation
tilation or exhaust gases. A. DC09
• The crankcase ventilation lines from multiple engines must not be joined to form B. DC13
a single pipe.
• The crankcase ventilation line should be made from pipe or oil-resistant hose,
connected to the ventilation pipe on the engine.
• When the crankcase ventilation line is extended in cold environments, it must be
designed to ensure that condensation cannot freeze in the hose. The extension of
a crankcase ventilation line may need to be insulated.
• When the crankcase ventilation line is extended, the extension must be designed
to ensure that no pockets are formed. It must also have a continuous downward
slope so that it can neither freeze nor can oil accumulations form resulting in too
high a pressure in the crankcase.
• Any crankcase ventilation pipe with its outlet outside the engine compartment
must be protected so that no water or contaminants can get into the crankcase.
335 753
• If pipe is used, there should be a flexible, oil-resistant line between the engine and 1
pipe to absorb the engine movements.
Open crankcase ventilation, DC16
• If hose is used, it must be clamped so that no sharp kinks are formed.
• The crankcase ventilation pipe outlet must not be positioned where there is a risk
of it becoming blocked.
When there are special requirements for closed crankcase ventilation, e.g. for envi-
ronmental reasons, it is permissible to allow the crankcase gases to be led to the in-
take line between the air filter and the turbocharger.
It is not permissible to lead the crankcase gases to the intake upstream of the engine
air filter.

Mass flow sensor pipe for DC16
In order to get the best possible measured value when measuring the mass flow, the
following recommendations for the installation of all types of mass flow sensor pipes
apply:
Max. 800 mm
• Install the mass flow sensor pipe as near to the turbocharger as possible.
• Use pipes between the turbocharger and the mass flow sensor pipe as far as pos-
sible.
• Make pieces of hose as short as possible.
• Maximum distance between the inlet pipe and mass flow sensor pipe is 800 mm.
This applies to all combinations of inlet pipes and mass flow sensor pipes.
• Use hose which is sturdy enough so that it does not collapse onto itself.
336 774
Maximum distance between the inlet pipe and mass flow sensor pipe
• The switch of the mass flow sensor must not be on the underside of the mass flow
sensor pipe where it may come into contact with condensation and dirt. See the
illustration.

• If a pipe bend is installed upstream of the mass flow sensor pipe, the outer radius
of the pipe bend must be on the same side as the measuring body of the mass flow
sensor ±90°. The airflow must hit the measuring body of the mass flow sensor (1).
