Description

DESCRI PTI ON
SYSTEM FOR STARTING VEHICLES IN COLD ENVIRONMENTS
Technical Field of the I nvention
The invention subject to the application is related to a system which enables to start armoured vehicles intended for personnel transportation, that are driven with a diesel engine in cold weather conditions even when the fuel or fuel lines are frozen.
Known State of the Art ( Prior Art)
It is not possible to start vehicles using diesel fuel in the known state of the art as the fuel, fuel line and connected parts of diesel engines, freeze in cold weather conditions. This problem can be crucial when it is critical (especially when the vehicle is not being used continuously) to be able to start the engine of military vehicles. When the weather conditions and land conditions in which military vehicles are used, are taken into consideration, the above mentioned problem becomes more serious. I n really cold weather conditions, the diesel fuel gets thicker, it becomes more viscous and wax crystals occur or the fuel turns into gel. The fuel injector cannot pump the fuel into the cylinder effectively and therefore it may be difficult to start the engine during cold weather. Various methods have been developed in order to overcome this difficulty in diesel technologies. An application that is frequently used is to heat the fuel line and fuel filter by means of electricity. I n some engines, small electric heaters called ignition plugs located inside the cylinders in some engines heat the cylinders beforehand. I n another technology used in a small number of engines the inlet air is heated until the engine reaches its own starting temperature by means of heating wire heaters located inside the manifold. I n cold weather conditions the engine block heaters that are operated with the mains electricity and that are used when the engine has been shut off for a long period of time (more than 1 hour) , are frequently used in order to reduce abrasion and operation time of the engine.
Various systems and applications have been developed in order to start diesel engines in cold weather conditions. The invention subject to the application is an application special to armoured personnel transporting vehicles having diesel driven power units. Brief description of the invention and its aims
The vehicle is enabled to be started in difficult meteorological conditions by means of the system which enables to start armoured vehicles intended for personnel transportation, that are driven with a diesel engine in cold weather conditions even when the fuel or fuel lines of said vehicle are frozen. The starting system in cold weather conditions provides the engine heating function and the personnel cabin heating function as separate options different to other present systems that are applied to privately owned vehicles. By means of the system these two separate functions can be provided together. I n the system subject to the invention the fuel lines and frozen fuel (fuel tank) are heated by water and not by electricity as in other corresponding systems.
The system provides a more constant performance and a more stable heating system in comparison the prior system by means of the invention subject to the application.
The following has been provided, by means of the system subject to the invention, which enables to start the armoured vehicles intended for personnel transport that are driven by a diesel engine in cold weather conditions when the fuel and the fuel lines are frozen;
• The sustainability of the moving parts of the vehicle has been increased.
• The maintenance periods of the vehicle engine and the sub components of the starting system has been extended.
• Maximum resistance against external factors is provided and the vehicle is protected by reinforcing mechanical/mechatronic structures.

Detailed Description of the I nvention
The system of the invention subject to the application which enables to start armoured vehicles intended for personnel transportation which are driven with a diesel fuel engine in cold weather conditions even when the fuel and fuel lines of the vehicle are frozen, comprises;
• An additional heater ( 1 ) which shall perform heating procedures on the system,
• An additional fuel tank (2) which shall aid in heating the fuel and providing continuous revolution of the engine,
· Main fuel tank (3) storing the fuel of the vehicle,
• Additional radiators (4) providing heating procedures, • Engine (5) enabling the vehicle to be started,
• A radiator (6) managing the heating systems of the vehicle,
• An engine radiator (7) enabling to heat the engine.
The diesel vehicle starting system developed according to the invention subject to the application comprises an additional heater (internal combustion, hydrous type) which shall carry out the heating procedures, and a heating line (cooling fluid and lines of the vehicle, radiator) which shall heat certain components by circulation of heating inside the entire system.
The system thaws, first of all the additional fuel tank (2) fed from the engine fuel recycle means of the heater ( 1 ) which is frozen and the fuel lines that carry the fuel from said tank to the heater, by means of heated coatings (R) that are fed by the accumulator. The additional heater ( 1 ) can be operated when this fuel line, and the fuel inside the tank is thawed and when said fuel reaches a certain temperature.
The additional heater ( 1 ) which heats the cooling fluid (generally water or antifreeze water) of the system and then pumps said heated fluid to the engine (5) enables the engine (5) and the cabin radiators (8) to reach the temperature required for active operation. By means of the lines which have been added to the main circulation, that circulate the engine cooling fluid through the main fuel tank (3) aid in thawing the frozen fuel by heating the main fuel tank (3) .
As the temperature of the system increases the engine (5) is heated and during this process the radiator system (8) within the vehicle is operated and the radiators start to provide heat into the cabin.
