2013/01/23 Calidad del combustible - Probar (KSNR6940)

SMCS - 1280 i05668543

Introducción
Esta prueba revisa para ver si hay problemas relacionados con la calidad del combustible. Consulte Los combustibles diesel y su motor,
SEBD0717 para obtener detalles adicionales.

Utilice el siguiente procedimiento para comprobar si hay problemas de calidad con el combustible:

5P-2712  Termómetro/Hidrómetro  1 

Tabla 1

Procedimiento de prueba
1. Determine si hay agua o contaminantes presentes en el combustible. Revise el separador de agua (si tiene). Si no se dispone de un
separador de agua, proceda al paso 2. Drene el separador de agua, si es necesario. Un tanque de combustible lleno reduce la posibilidad de
condensación durante la noche.
Nota: Un separador de agua puede parecer estar lleno de combustible cuando en realidad está lleno de agua.

2. Determine si hay contaminantes presentes en el combustible. Quite una muestra de combustible de la parte inferior del tanque de
combustible. Inspeccione visualmente para ver si hay contaminantes en la muestra de combustible. El color del combustible no es
necesariamente una indicación de la calidad del combustible. Sin embargo, el combustible de color negro o pardo, o de aspecto similar al
lodo, puede ser una indicación de crecimiento de bacterias o contaminación de aceite. A temperaturas frías, el combustible turbio indica que
puede ser inadecuado para las condiciones de operación. Se pueden implementar los siguientes métodos para evitar que la cera obstruya el
filtro de combustible:

Calentadores de combustible

Mezcla de combustible con aditivos

Uso de un combustible con un punto de enturbiamiento bajo, como el queroseno.

Consulte el Manual de Operación y Mantenimiento, "Recomendaciones de combustible" para obtener información adicional.

3. Revise el combustible API con un termómetro/hidrómetro 5P-2712 en caso de quejas de baja potencia. La gama aceptable del API de
combustible es de 30 a 45 cuando API se mide en 15 °C (60 °F) pero hay una gran diferencia en energía dentro de esta gama.
Densidad del combustible (API)(1) Factores de corrección 

API a 16 °C (60 °F)  Factor de corrección 

32,0  0,987 
35,0  1,000 
40,0  1,022 
45,0  1,044 

Tabla 2
(1)
La clasificación API del combustible medido y la temperatura correspondiente se deben corregir a 16 °C (60 °F) antes de seleccionar un factor de corrección de
combustible. Use la tabla para ver el factor de corrección de la densidad del combustible para determinar la clasificación API del combustible a 16 °C (60 °F).

Nota: Un factor de corrección mayor que 1,000 puede ser la causa de la baja potencia o el consumo deficiente de combustible.

4. Si todavía se sospecha que la calidad del combustible es una posible causa de los problemas de rendimiento del motor, desconecte la
tubería de admisión de combustible y haga funcionar temporalmente el motor con combustible obtenido de otra fuente que sea reconocida
como buena. Esto determinará si la causa del problema es la calidad del combustible. Si se determina que la calidad del combustible es la
causa del problema, drene el sistema de combustible y reemplace los filtros de combustible. El rendimiento del motor puede ser afectado por
las siguientes características:

Número de cetano del combustible

Presencia de aire en el combustible
