Dakar's Cummins engine wins applause with superior performance

The annual Dakar Rally has just ended. In this world-class endurance challenge with the highest level, the highest intensity, and the most difficult conditions, Cummins' engines performed well, all completed the competition and achieved good results. At the same time winning the praise of customers, it also proved its powerful, durable and reliable quality. .

In this rally, the GINAF team from the Netherlands sent three trucks equipped with the Cummins ISZ13L diesel engine. All the three race cars completed a total of 9,000 kilometers of the race and achieved good results in the 12th, 30th, and 33th place respectively.

Previously, Cummins and Ginaver developed a three-year plan to jointly develop a higher-speed, smarter rally truck platform. After Dakar's first test of the 2014 season, both sides evaluated and improved the performance of the trucks. LeimStolk, Head of Application Engineering at Cummins, explained that “The Cummins 13-liter ISZ diesel engine further optimizes the power efficiency of the main engine, maintaining a 900-horsepower force and a maximum torque of 3,500 Nm. The turbocharged configuration. These have helped Ginafo Racing achieve performance upgrades."

The participating Cummins ISZ engines are produced by Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company. At the same time, Cummins provided full support for the Dakar Rally: commissioning of engine performance by the U.S. headquarters engineering team, technical matching of the UK Huddlesfield turbocharged team, seamless integration of application engineers and teams in the Netherlands and China, and local South American Cummins dealers assist with Valvoline Lubricants and other Cummins Genuine Parts. It is the work outside these competitions that ensures that the participating vehicles can help the team to win the best performance in the best working condition.

The Dakar Rally is one of the most influential cross-country events in the world. The current Dakar Rally crosses South America’s Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. A total of 665 drivers from 53 countries competed, attracting 3.9 million spectators to watch, and viewers in more than 190 countries and regions can watch the game on TV. The official website's visit exceeded 78 million. The dynamics, durability, compatibility with the vehicle platform, and Cummins' professionalism in service support demonstrated by the Cummins engine won the high recognition of the cooperative team, and also confirmed that they continued with Cummins. Cooperation confidence.

Low-temperature 2-color Ratio Pyrometer

This classification includes two color infrared pyrometers measuring range is 250℃-2200℃.

Compared with one color infrared pyroemter, two color pyrometer measuring result will not change with state of object surface (surface roughness or surface chemical state), that means two color infrared thermometer accuracy will not be affacted, while the 1-color pyrometer will.
The optical part of pyrometer, such as glass, will accumulate some dust in the surfac after using for a period. Water, gas, oil vapour, dust in the air will reduce the emissivity coefficient, so the monochromatic pyrometer will reduce the measured value at this time. The Dual color pyrometer measures the ratio of infrared radiation intensities of two band wavelength in a specific range. With dust, water vapor and other disturbances, the signals of two wavelength fall simultaneously and the ratio remains constant after division. And user just need to wipe the glass when it is too dirty.
Monochromatic thermometers cannot measure objects smaller than the field of view. When the object does not fill the field of view, the measurement temperature will be low. A bicolor pyrometer can measure objects smaller than the field of view.

Products in this classification are usually applied to metallurgical industry(rod and wire mills, Hot rolling mills), foundry, cement kiln, induction heating, heat treatment, heating furnace, vacuum furnace, monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, semiconductor and other industrial temperature measurement.
