Diesel Smoke Limiter (MAF vs MAP Lambda Limitation)
A diesel Smoke Limiter restricts maximum injected fuel quantity (mg/stroke) based on measured Mass Air Flow (MAF) or calculated Manifold Boost Pressure (MAP) to maintain a clean stoichiometric excess-air ratio (Lambda ≥ 1.15–1.22) and prevent black soot.
Practical Workshop & Calibration Engineering Application
Maintaining safe Lambda ceilings prevents excessive Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) and turbocharger turbine fouling during Stage 1/2 remapping.
