2) Charging
The alternator uses a new regulator which has three diodes. It consists of the delta stator, rectifier bridge,
slip ring and brush.
Charging time according to vehicle conditions and environment
Specification: Charging a fully depleted high-
capacity battery takes twice or more as long as
charging a fully depleted battery for small
vehicles.
Temperature: The lower the temperature is, the
longer the time taken to charge the battery.
When connecting the battery charger to the cold
battery, the amount of current the battery can
accept initially is very small. As the battery gets
warmer, it can accept more current.
Charging capacity: Charging a battery with a low-capacity charger takes longer time than charging with
a high-capacity charger.
Charging status: Charging a fully depleted battery takes twice or more as long as charging a half-
depleted battery. Since the electrolyte in a fully depleted battery consists of nearly pure water and
conductor, only a very small amount of current can be accepted by the battery initially. The charging
current increases as the amount of acids in the electrolyte is increased by the charging current.

1. OVERVIEW
The pre-heating system for D20DTR engine has the glow plug to the cylinder head (combustion
chamber), and improves the cold start performance and reduces the emission level.
The pre-heating resistor (air heater) is used to heat the intake air.
This enables the diesel fuel to be ignited in low temperature condition.
The ECU receives the information such as, engine rpm, coolant temperature, engine torque, etc.,
through CAN communication during pre-heating process; and the pre-heating control unit controls the
pre-heating, heating during cranking and post-heating by the PWM control.

4) Operation
Glow plug is installed in the cylinder head. It enhances the cold starting performance and reduces the
exhaust gas during cold starting.
ECU receives the data (engine rpm, coolant temperature, vehicle speed) through CAN lines. Based on the
data, GCU controls the pre-glow, cranking and post-glow. It also checks the glow plugs, and sends the
result to ECU.

(1) Temperature/Current Properties of GCU
FETs (similar to transistor) for each cylinder are integrated in GCU. During the pre-glow period, battery
voltage is supplied to the glow plugs directly to heat them rapidly.
After getting the desired temperature by pre-glowing, the temperature is controlled by duty ratio. 1.

This describes the voltage supplying types to glow plugs. This shows the supplying voltage and
time by GCU in each step. The 3rd
step is the period to keep the
temperature.
