At the Yaroslavl facilities of OAO Avtodizel, since December 2013, diesel units of the YaMZ-530 family have been manufactured. This includes only two engine models so far - these are four- and six-cylinder engines.

In our country, there are a lot of enterprises that produce trucks, buses of various sizes, as well as many options for special equipment for construction and agriculture. In order for all this to work, it is necessary to provide the units with engines. At the same time, it is desirable that these diesel engines have a long life cycle and that they comply with Euro-5 standards.

The goal of this project is to create a true universal platform, on the basis of which it will be possible to produce power units for a wide variety of equipment in the agricultural and construction sectors. After all, it is known that in order to build a special version of the motor for a tractor, many different additional tasks will be required. Often you have to recycle some details. However, the specialists of the Yaroslavl plant guarantee that in order to use this engine, it is not necessarythere will be no design changes.

A risky but successful move

The Yaroslavl Motor Plant really took a real risk. After all, it is very, very difficult to create a YaMZ-530 diesel engine that would not only have unique characteristics, but could also create competition for the best models of world manufacturers.

For this, in the middle of the 2000s, European engineers were invited as partners in this project. After several years of development and experimentation, a series of in-line engines with a volume of 1.1 liters per cylinder was created.

The same volume, by the way, on units of well-known brands such as Cummins, Volvo and Iveco. The YaMZ-530 engine also features advanced performance and fuel consumption.

By the way, this internal combustion engine is one of the first in the entire history of domestic engine building. This product has become a novelty not only for the whole country, but also for Avtodizel. After all, here is not only the latest design, but also other methods of design and development. As a result, it was possible to create a power unit called YaMZ-530, reviews of which are mostly enthusiastic.

Schemes

The scheme for the new motor decided to choose the lower one. Both domestic and European experts unanimously said that this would be better for medium-sized diesel engines with low speeds.

The engine is quite compact. The reason for this is the lack of camshafts in the cylinder head. And the cylinder head itself is no differentheight and other sizes. Also in this motor you can’t find a long timing drive. Engineers have managed to significantly reduce the weight of moving and rotating components and parts. The design itself, in comparison with other modifications, has become much more reliable. The operation of the unit is quite quiet and is characterized by increased durability. All the most important components receive movement from the crankshaft drive. This greatly minimizes rotational vibrations.

Raisins

Among the interesting points in the design of "YaMZ-530" is the cooling system with the possibility of reverse. So, the coolant does not get in the usual way for many - from the bottom up, but from the top down.

So, first the hottest area is cooled - the cylinder head, and then the cylinders themselves. Engineers managed to achieve almost maximum efficiency with the introduction of this innovation. It is also worth noting the thermal stability of the dimensions of engine components and parts. Tuners will appreciate it. Now you can almost effortlessly force any unit of the YaMZ-530 family.

Engineers have applied wet cartridge technology to this power plant. For production, this turned out to be a little inconvenient, however, as practice has shown, the cylinders are cooled more evenly. The cylinder-piston group has a longer resource. If you need to replace something, there is no need to bore the cylinders to the correct size. Rated parts can be installed immediately. Resource, according to assurancesdevelopers, is more than a million kilometers. That's an impressive number.

Best parts

Developing the new YaMZ-530 diesel engine, specialists used the best components. Just imagine, the fuel equipment was ordered from the industry leaders - Bosch, the parts for the piston group were supplied by Federal Mogul, the cylinder block - Fritz Winter. Valve crackers, as well as liners - and those imported, made by the eminent manufacturer Mahle.

Efficiency and versatility

The YaMZ-530 diesel power unit is the embodiment of the most modern and advanced solutions. A unique battery-type fuel supply scheme works here. It is controlled by an electronic control system. All parts are made to work under high pressure.

The lubrication system, as well as efficient cooling, allow you to get a liter power of up to 34 kW. The drive based on gears on the flywheel side makes it possible to make the operation of the unit almost silent. The closed crankcase ventilation system is fully integrated into the cylinder head cover. No more maintenance.

One of the advantages of this diesel engine is its high compactness and low weight. This greatly simplifies the process of installing it in the engine compartment of a truck. The developers were able to lay in the design of various options. This is the ability to install a compressor for the air conditioner, preheater, and cab heater.

Motor dictating newstandards

The unit is extremely reliable. The resource is very high. Service intervals are up to 50,000 kilometers. This is the way to reduce maintenance costs by almost half. Equipment with these motors is highly environmentally friendly, quiet operation and comfortable.

The device and operation of the YaMZ-530 delight the owners immensely. The level of vibration and noise is no more than 92 dB. This allows you to permanently abandon the rather expensive engine compartment cowling, and also increases comfort for the driver in the cab or for passengers in the bus.

Economical as imported

Low fuel and lubricant consumption is fully confirmed in numerous tests.

With a volume of 1.1 liters per cylinder, the average consumption is up to 26 liters per 100 km. The car is moving at a speed of 60 km/h.

Dynamic and efficient on the move

Equipment that is equipped with these power units receives significant benefits. High torque of up to 1226 Nm, available at low revs, allows the car to move very dynamically. The car accelerates easily and is easy to control.

Design features

In order to achieve high levels of environmental friendliness, engineers have applied a special system - EGR. it contributes to the improvement of the gas recirculation process. Also in the design there is a catalyst with the possibility of replacing filters.

Monitoring the parameters of the new control unit. The motor is equipped with manysensors that sensitively monitor the status of all major components.

YaMZ-530 engine: specifications

Let's see what the basic version of this motor is capable of. So, this is an in-line, four-cylinder power unit. Its working volume is 4.4 liters. Depending on the modification, power can vary from 136 to 190 horsepower for the four-cylinder version.

The number of revolutions of the crankshaft for the base unit is 2300 rpm. Maximum torque - 710 Nm at 1600 rpm. As for the fuel consumption of YaMZ-530, the characteristics show that the unit's appetites are 143 grams per horsepower per hour. It's pretty technological. The engine weight is only 480 kg in the basic version.

The six-cylinder version has better performance. The volume of the unit is 6.6 liters. In terms of equipment, this version is a complete copy of the four-cylinder. Here is the same drive units, the same cooling system, a turbocharger is installed.

Power depending on the modification will be from 270 to 312 horsepower. The torque in this version is 1226 Nm at 1600 rpm. Minimum fuel consumption - 194 grams per 1 horsepower per hour.

Euro 5 certified

Yaroslavl plant "Avtodiesel", where they are engaged in the production of such units, has successfully received certificates for the YaMZ-530 engine, the characteristics of which fully comply with the new environmental standard. This made it possible to significantly expand export opportunities.cars that were equipped with such installations to European countries.

The new Euro-5 range features significantly improved performance, technical and economic performance. The powerband has also expanded. Now it is from 240 to 330 horsepower. Torque has also increased from 900 to 1370 Nm.

By their design, the Euro-5 models are almost completely unified with their similar "brothers" under the previous standard. In order to fully comply with the latest environmental regulations, the design uses a catalytic reduction system.

The first copies were sent for testing to the strategic partners of the GAZ group. They will be installed and operated on many vehicles, such as Ural, MAZ, and also city and suburban buses of the LiAZ brand will be equipped with these units.

Production was placed on new areas. All parts are manufactured on the most modern machines. The new production site uses the most advanced technology to ensure reliability and cost-effectiveness.

What do the owners say about the YaMZ-530 design? The engine receives only positive reviews. These engines have some advantages that many foreign manufacturers do not have. So, the Yaroslavl unit significantly wins in terms of torque and power. At the same time, fuel consumption is quite low.

So, we found out what technical characteristics and reviews the YaMZ-530 engine has. The purchase of this device will be a win-win investment. Such an engine will last long and efficiently, which is the primary task of such units.
