____________________________________________________________________________________
The Deutz BF6M1013ECP is a 6-cylinder, 4-cycle
inline turbocharged diesel engine equipped with charge air cooling,
representing a robust power solution for heavy-duty industrial and
mobile machinery. As part of the reputable Deutz 1013 family, this
engine is engineered for applications such as large excavators, mining
dump trucks, concrete mixers, agricultural tractors, and generator sets.
The "BF6M1013ECP" designation decodes its construction: "B" for exhaust
gas turbocharging, "F" for high-speed four-stroke, "6" for six
cylinders, "M" for liquid cooling, "1013" for the series, "E" for an
external cooling system, "C" for a charge air cooler, and "P" for
increased power output. The engine combines a high-strength monobloc
crankcase with a direct injection fuel system using individual injection
pumps integrated into the crankcase.
Known for its high torque at lower engine speeds, it delivers peak
torque of 954 Nm at 1,400 rpm, providing substantial lugging capability
for demanding tasks. Available with a standard mechanical centrifugal
governor or an optional Electronic Engine Governor (EMR), the
BF6M1013ECP meets Tier 2 emission standards and offers a balance of
power density, fuel efficiency, and serviceability.
The Deutz BF6M1013ECP is an inline, 4-cycle, liquid-cooled, turbocharged
diesel engine with an intercooler (charge air cooler). The engine
features six cylinders arranged in a straight vertical configuration.
Total displacement measures 7.15 liters, equivalent to 436 cu.in. The
bore is 108 mm (4.25 in) with a stroke of 130 mm (5.12 in), producing an
undersquare design that prioritizes torque production at low engine
speeds. The compression ratio is 17.5:1.
The rated power output is 195 kW (262 hp) at 2,300 rpm. Maximum torque
is 954 Nm (704 lb-ft) achieved at 1,400 rpm. The firing order for this
inline 6-cylinder engine follows the 1-5-3-6-2-4 sequence, ensuring
balanced primary and secondary forces. The idling speed is approximately
800 rpm. The engine management system uses a direct injection fuel
system with mechanical single injection pumps per cylinder, with
electronic control available as an option.
The cylinder block is constructed from high-grade cast iron (Grey cast
iron) in a monobloc construction, integrating the crankcase for maximum
rigidity. The crankshaft is forged steel with integral counterweights,
supported by seven main bearings for exceptional rigidity under
sustained high loads. The crankcase features a closed-circuit breather
system to reduce emissions from blow-by gases.
The connecting rods are forged steel, designed to withstand the high
compressive forces of turbocharged operation. The pistons are three-ring
designs, comprising two compression rings and one oil scraper ring,
optimized for efficient sealing and oil control. The cylinder bores are
machined directly into the block.
The cylinder head is a single Grey cast iron block-type unit covering
all six cylinders. The valvetrain arrangement follows a pushrod OHV
(Overhead Valve) design with two valves per cylinder (one inlet and one
exhaust overhead valve per cylinder), yielding a total of 12 valves.
The camshaft is a forged steel shaft, located in the cylinder block,
operating the valves via flat tappets, pushrods, and rocker arms. Valve
lash adjustment is performed manually with the engine cold.
The fuel system is a direct injection diesel system utilizing a unique
design featuring single injection pumps for each cylinder integrated
directly into the crankcase. The injection pump elements are
mechanically controlled via a rack and governor. The system utilizes a
fuel lift pump integrated into the V-belt tensioner.
Fuel injection pressure is characteristic of unit pump systems. The
injection nozzles are six-hole types designed for direct injection
combustion. The governor is a mechanical centrifugal governor as
standard equipment, with an Electronic Engine Governor (EMR) available
as an optional upgrade for enhanced control and diagnostic capabilities.
The lubrication system is a forced-feed circulation system using a
gear-type oil pump driven from the engine's gear train. The pump draws
oil from the sump through a screened pickup tube and forces it through a
full-flow paper-type microfilter, designed as a replaceable-cartridge
filter.
Filtered oil circulates through a main gallery supplying the main
bearings, connecting rod bearings, camshaft bearings, turbocharger, and
valve train. The system includes a water-cooled oil cooler integrated
into the coolant circuit to maintain stable oil temperatures under heavy
loads.
The cooling system is a pressurized, thermostatically controlled liquid
cooling design with a belt-driven centrifugal water pump. A fin-type
water cooler (radiator) with an engine-driven fan provides heat
rejection. Coolant circulates from the radiator bottom tank through the
water pump, then enters the cylinder block and flows rearward through
the water jacket.
A cooling system specifically designed for the turbocharger and charge
air cooler ensures optimal thermal management of the intake air. A
wax-pellet thermostat maintains the optimal operating temperature.
| Intake and Exhaust Systems |
Air Intake System: The air intake system is turbocharged with charge-air
cooling. A fixed-geometry turbocharger provides boost pressure, with
compressed air passing through an air-to-air or water-cooled intercooler
before entering the intake manifold. The air cleaner is a dry-type paper
element unit.
Exhaust System: The exhaust manifold is a single-piece, cast iron design
merging the six cylinders. An exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is
not present on this Tier 2 compliant engine.
The electrical system operates at 12 or 24 volts depending on the
application. The starter motor is a gear-reduction type. The alternator
rating varies by configuration from 60 to 120 amperes. Glow plugs are
installed in each cylinder for cold start assistance.
| Turbocharging and Charge Air Cooling Systems |
The engine is equipped with an exhaust gas turbocharger coupled with a
charge air cooler. Compressed air passes through the intercooler before
entering the intake manifold, reducing intake air temperature,
increasing charge density, and improving combustion efficiency.
Overall length is 1,025 mm (40.4 in). Overall width is 622 mm (24.5 in).
Overall height is 945 mm (37.2 in). The dry weight of the base engine
without flywheel housing or fluids is 506 kg (1,116 lb). Including the
flywheel and housing, the weight increases to 600 kg (1,323 lb). A fully
dressed engine with cooling system and alternator weighs 700 to 800 kg.
The engine oil and filter change interval is 500 hours under normal
operating conditions. Recommended oil viscosity is SAE 15W-40 meeting
API CI-4 or higher specification. The fuel filter requires replacement
every 500 hours. The air cleaner element requires replacement or
cleaning based on restriction indicator readings. The engine coolant
requires replacement every 2,000 hours or 24 months. Valve clearance
inspection is required every 500 hours.
Valve clearance (cold): Intake: 0.20 mm (0.008 in); Exhaust: 0.30 mm
(0.012 in). The drive belts require inspection at every oil change for
cracking or glazing, with replacement at 1,000 hours. The injection
nozzles should be tested and calibrated every 1,000 hours. The
turbocharger requires inspection for oil leakage and shaft play at major
service intervals.
