Reliable diesel engine for completing trucks, special and road vehicles, industrial equipment, providing high power-to-weight ratio, inexpensive operation and long-term use of completed equipment.

Diesel production 236

Yaroslavl Motor Plant (“Avtodiesel”) has been mass-producing diesel power units since 1958. It was this year that the plant was re-profiled, which previously produced heavy vehicles, even earlier buses, trolleybuses, and cars. Initially, the new plant continued to produce diesel engines, which were equipped with previously assembled trucks.

In parallel with the development of serial production, the development of new engines was carried out and after a while the line of manufactured engines increased. The plant began to produce power units for various purposes with a capacity of 180 to 810 hp. With. At the very beginning of the sixties, the production of the most famous YaMZ engines began: YaMZ 236, 238, 240. The engines had great unification, which accelerated the production process, and differed in power fordue to the use of a different number of cylinders (from 6 to 10). This made it possible to install new diesel engines on the most diverse types of vehicles, special machines and industrial equipment.

YAMZ-236 engine

Diesel had the most compact size and lightest weight of the new line of engines. These and other parameters, including the rated power, made it possible to successfully use, first of all, the YaMZ six-cylinder engine in trucks. YaMZ-236 had the following main technical characteristics, which provided the motor with wide application:

• type - four-stroke;
• maximum power - 230.0 hp p.;
• speed - 2100 rpm;
• working volume - 11.5 l;

• number of cylinders - 6 pcs.;

  • V-shaped cylinder arrangement;
  • angle - 90 degrees;
• cylinder diameter (piston stroke) – 13 (14) cm;
• number of valves - 12 pieces;
• compression value - 16.5;
• fuel consumption - 157 g/(hp-h);

• dimensions;

  • length - 1.84 m;
  • height - 1.22 m;
  • width – 1.04m;
• weight – 1, 21 t;
• resource before overhaul - 450 thousand hours

236 motor advantages

Simplicity of design is the main advantage of YaMZ engines. YaMZ-236, in addition, has the following advantages:

• quality traction performance;
• simple and inexpensive maintenance;
• reliability;
• repairability;
• affordable cost;
• possibility to use domestic lubricants and consumables;
• the presence of various modifications;
• increased resource.

These advantages, together with the good technical characteristics of the YaMZ 236 engine, provide the diesel engine with wide application. It is currently installed on the following vehicles:

• cars;

  • MAZ;
  • "Ural";
• EC excavators, EO;
• front loaders;
• motor graders DZ;
• self-propelled cranes KS.

Yaroslavl engines on ZIL cars

ZIL enterprises produced a variety of products, but trucks of this brand were the most in demand. Models based on ZIL 130 and 4314, which were produced from 1963 to 2002, became widespread. These cars and their modifications were equipped with gasoline engines of our own production.

The production of diesel engines ZIL (plant in Yartsevo) did not meet the demand for diesel engines. Therefore, to increase the production of diesel vehicles, it was decided to use YaMZ engines. YaMZ-236 modification A has become the most suitable option for installation. The following factors contributed to this:

• diesel reliability;
• large motor spread;
• availability of spare parts;
• power;
• dimensions.

The use of this motor allowed the ZIL truck with the YaMZ-236 A engine to increase its carrying capacity: from 6 to 8 tons for onboard vehicles, from 6.1 to 8.2 tons for truck tractors. The basic version of the new car received an index of 53 4330. Truck production lasted only 4 years - from 1999 to 2003
