Detroit Diesel dd15 part catalog Optimized Idle with DDEC software reduces engine idle time by running the engine only when required. Optimized Idle is a system which automatically stops and restarts the engine to accomplish the following:
- Keep the engine oil temperature between factory set limits
- Keep the battery charged
- Keep the cab/sleeper or passenger area at the desired temperature (using the optional thermostat)
Detroit Diesel dd15 owners manual Idle time and fuel savings information is available through DDEC Reports. Other benefits include overall reduction in exhaust emissions and noise, and improved starter and engine life (by starting a warm engine and eliminating starting aids). The system also reduces dead batteries due to electrical loads, such as refrigerators or satellite systems. Optimized Idle operates in one of two modes:
- Engine Mode
- Thermostat Mode (includes the same features as Engine Mode)
Engine Mode is used to keep the battery charged and the engine oil temperature between factory set limits. The Optimized Idle Active Light is illuminated whenever Engine Mode is active.
Thermostat Mode is used to keep the cab/sleeper (on--highway truck) and passenger area (coach) at the desired temperature and maintain the Engine Mode parameters. The optional thermostat must be turned ON for Thermostat Mode to be active. The Optimized Idle Active Light is illuminated whenever Thermostat Mode is active.
DDEC software allows the engine brakes to be turned on during shutdown. The amount of engine braking is determined by the dash--mounted engine brake switches. Braking during shutdown reduces cab shake.
