Engineering:Kubota engines

From HandWiki

Kubota engines are diesel and spark ignition engines manufactured by Kubota Corporation. Besides gasoline-fueled for spark ignition engines, the company produces dual fuel, LPG-fueled, and natural-gas-fueled engines as well. The engines are widely used in various forms, such as: agricultural equipments, construction equipments, gensets, tractors, and marine propulsion. Beta Marine,[1] an international company providing marine propulsion engines, uses various Kubota engines for fresh water and sea-going boats of various sizes.

Engine Codes

Kubota has produced a wide variety of engines, from single cylinder to inline six engines; gasoline, dual fuel, LPG, and diesel; from the tiny 0.276 liter Kubota OC60-E to the large 6.1 liter V6108-CR-TI. The company follows a simple naming system for their engines:

1. The first characters mainly specify the engine cylinder configuration; however, in some engines, they also specify fuel type, and cooling system:

Code Feature
E Single cylinder diesel, horizontal, liquid-cooled
Z Two cylinder diesel, inline, vertical, liquid-cooled
D Three cylinder diesel, inline, vertical, liquid-cooled
V Four cylinder diesel, inline, vertical, liquid-cooled
F Five cylinder diesel, inline, vertical, liquid-cooled
S Six cylinder diesel, inline, vertical, liquid-cooled
WG Gasoline fueled, vertical, liquid-cooled
DF Dual-fueled (gasoline and LPG), vertical, liquid-cooled
DG LPG fueled, vertical, liquid-cooled
OC Air/oil-cooled single cylinder diesel, vertical
RD Single cylinder diesel, horizontal, liquid-cooled
  • Note: Exception is for V3 Series. For the engines in these series, the first character denotes the cylinder configuration (4-cylinder inline), the first two digits denote engine series (V3), and than the four numbers following the first character (3xxx) denote engine displacement.

2. The next two numbers specify the engine displacement

3. The next one or two numbers - and "-M" for some engines - specify the engine series:

Code Diesel Engine Series
2 Super Mini Series
05 Super 05 Series
02 02 Series (discontinued)
03 03 Series
03-M 03-M Series
07 07 Series
08 08 Series
09 09 Series (introduced in mid-2017)

2 New Super Mini (NSM) Series, based on the Super Mini Series diesel
05 05 Series, based on the Super 05 Series diesel
03 03 Series, based on the 03 Series diesel
WG3800 Gasoline/LPG/Natural Gas version based on the V3 Series diesel

4. The suffix (separated by a dash or dashes) specifies the features of the engine:

Code Feature
T Turbocharged (without this code means normally-aspirated)
DI Direct injection (without this code means indirect injection)
CR Common-rail direct injection system
I Intercooled
B Emission: early industrial diesel and early gasoline

WG/DF/DG Series

Unlike most manufacturers that build their gasoline engines and diesel engines based on different platforms, Kubota builds its gasoline/LPG/NG (natural gas) engines based on its diesel engines. The WG/DF/DG engines are solidly based on Kubota's Super Mini Series, Super 05 Series, 03 Series, and V3 Series diesel engines. This makes most of parts are interchangeable between Kubota's gasoline/LPG/NG engines and diesel engines in the equal engine series.

Diesel

Kubota makes both indirect and direct injection diesel. For the indirect injection system, Kubota's proprietary TVCS (Three Vortex Combustion System) obtains an optimum air/fuel mixture by generating three intense swirling air flows (vortexes) within the spherical-combustion (swirl) chamber. The new TVCS added a special concave recess on the piston head to force compression air in the swirl chamber and to smooth combustion gas exhause. The E-TVCS, based on the new TVCS, is aimed at a drastic emission reduction. E-TVCS produces far less soot, HC and CO thanks to a better match between the injection nozzle throat and the concave recess on the piston head. The injection pump and nozzle are better matched with the combustion chamber to reduce NOx emissions.

As for the direct injection system, Kubota has developed several systems; from the conventional direct injection system (DIS) used in the two-valve per cylinder engine range, E-CDIS (Center Direct Injection System) used in the 3 to 4-valve per cylinder engine range, to the Common-Rail Direct Injection System in the latest generation of Kubota diesels to comply the latest emission regulations. The common-rail direct injection engines may be equipped with Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) or DOC and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

OC Series

The Kubota OC Series is a single-cylinder, vertical, air/oil-cooled diesel engine. Unlike other Kubota engines, Kubota OC Series engines rely on oil and air to cool the engines. There is a cooling fan connected to the crankshaft, also fan shroud and ducting to optimize the cooling system further. The Kubota OC Series engines are usually used for small/portable gensets and other light power applications. Some motorcycle enthusiasts use Kubota OC Series engines to power self-built or self-modified small diesel motorcycles due to the light weight and its simple air/oil cooling system.[2]

RD Series

The Kubota RD Series is a single-cylinder, horizontal, liquid-cooled diesel engine. Its liquid cooling system does not use a radiator; instead, it uses a hopper style cooling system, in which, a coolant reservoir is placed directly on the engine. Kubota RD Series engines are in both indirect (TVCS) and direct injection forms.

Kubota RD Series engines are mainly used to power hand tractors, rice mills, and gensets. However, due to their versatility, many Kubota RD Series engines are also used for sawmill, propelling small boats/sampans, and even self-built light "trucks" in rural areas in some Asian countries.

Super Mini Series

Kubota developed the world's smallest, multi-cylinder high power density diesel engine series, the Super Mini, in 1983. Starting out with just two models, this series remained a long time favorite for twenty years. In 2003, two new models joined this ever-popular 2-, 3-cylinder series. All Kubota Super Mini Series engines are in indirect injection system (E-TVCS).

The Kubota Super Mini Series engines are mainly used for gensets, small agricultural tractors, lawn mowers, and other light power applications. However, some motorcycle enthusiasts also use them to power self-built or self-modified diesel motorcycles.[3] Aixam, a French automobile manufacturers, uses Kubota Z482 to power some of its micro cars.

03 Series and 03-M Series

Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series engines are mainly used for medium power applications. Medium-sized tractors, construction equipment, gensets, and refrigerated containers are some of them. Some automotive enthusiasts use Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series engines to power old four-wheelers such as Jeep Willys and CJ2s or 1990's light trucks and SUVs.[6][7] Kubota V2003-T, V2203-DI modified with turbo-intercooler, and V2403-M-T are the popular choices. Their compact size, good torque at low RPM, simplicity, reliability, and fuel efficiency (up to 40-45 mpg (17-19.12 km/l) in average) are the strong points making them ideal for engine-swapping.

The Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series are available in indirect injection system (E-TVCS), direct injection system (DIS), and Common-Rail Direct Injection System (CR). Naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions are also available. Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series are manufactured in inline 3, 4, and 5 cylinder configurations. All Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series engines have 92.4 mm stroke, except D1803s and V2403s that have 102.4 mm stroke; which is basically a stroked-up design of the original 03 and 03-M Series. Cylinder bores are 80, 83, and 87 mm.

The Kubota 03 Series and 03-M Series engines also offer side power take-off (PTO), in response to the trend of increasing hydraulic control devices in industrial machines. It is possible to install a hydraulic pump at two side PTO locations.

07 Series

The Kubota 07 Series is a totally new concept in engine design developed with various requirements necessary for a wide range of industrial applications. The engine package is smaller than that of the current 2.4L engine but yet the displacement is larger. The improved cooling system with a main water gallery and water passages between cylinder bores as a countermeasure against heat load provides high power density, superior endurance and a reliable Kubota 07 Series. The Kubota 07 Series completes Kubota’s seamless range up to 100 hp.

The New Kubota 07 Series engines have been designed to comply with EPA Interim Tier 4 (Option1) emissions regulations, which are the most stringent in this size range. Meeting emission regulations with minimal additional required devices: NOx is reduced only by mechanical means such as a compactly designed cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.

Kubota’s original E-CDIS (Center Direct Injection System) combustion system, renowned for clean combustion in the Kubota V3 (DI) Series, has been renovated. The fuel injection pressure was increased and the combustion chamber was redesigned to achieve a 25% lower particulate matter (PM) level, resulting in a better condition when compared to engines that only meet EPA Tier 3 regulations in this class.

These new engines have been designed to reduce transmitted vibrations and radiated sound, resulting in lower noise levels.

A Side PTO option is available. This engine offers power take-off (PTO) from a gear train located on the flywheel side designed for compact positioning of PTO hydraulic devices. Fan positions are available in two heights to adapt to various equipment configurations.

V3 Series

The Kubota V3 Series engines are available in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged induction systems. The V3 Series also available in indirect injection, direct injection, and common-rail direct injection. For the indirect injection system, Kubota uses E-TVCS (Three Vortex Combustion System) that has been improved. The airflow, combustion chamber and piston recess were optimized to provide a 25% lower particulate matter (PM) level. For the direct injection system, Kubota uses E-CDIS (Center Direct Injection System) with the injector at the center of the cylinder head. The latest V3 Series generation uses Common-Rail Direct Injection to meet the latest emission regulations.

Available only in 4-cylinder inline configuration, Kubota V3 Series engines are mainly used for gensets, medium-large tractors, medium-large construction equipment, forklifts, and special vehicles. Fan positions are available in two heights to adapt to various equipment configurations.
