Renault K-Type

engine

The K-Type is a family of inline-4

automobile engines developed and
produced by Renault since the mid-1990s.
This is an internal combustion engine,
four-stroke, with 4 cylinders in line bored
directly into the iron block, water cooled,
with tree (s) driven overhead camshafts
driven by a toothed timing belt and an
aluminium cylinder head. This engine is
available in petrol and diesel versions, with
8 or 16 valves.

History
The K-Type engine is an evolution of the
Energy engine, itself derived from the
Cléon-Fonte engine in which a
hemispherical head incorporating a
camshaft driven by a toothed timing belt
was fitted. The K-Type engine is the
ultimate evolution of the Cléon-Fonte
engine. The main modification of the K-
Type engine is the use of removable
cylinder liners. The first K-Type appeared
on the Megane with a capacity of 1598cc.

Evolution
Gasoline versions

In 1998, a 16-valve derivative of the K7M

engine appeared in the Renault Laguna
Phase 2, named the K4M. This new engine
replaced the 1.8 litre F-Type engine fitted
to the Laguna Phase 1.

The specificity of K4J and K4M engines is

that they have a 16-valve cylinder head,
similar to the F4P and F4R versions of F-
Type engine, over the K4J and K4M
engines share the same distribution kit
and even water pump that the F-Type
engine 16 valves (F4P and F4R).

Diesel versions
The K9K engine - diesel version with 1461
cc - appeared on the Clio 2 Phase 2, to
replace the 1.9 D ("F-Type engine" ). This
engine is equipped with high-pressure
direct injection common-rail.

KxJ petrol engine

The KxJ displaces 1390 cc or 1.4 L. It is an
evolution from Renault Energy ExJ.

Chronology

Predecessor -

Successor Renault R-Type engine

The K9K is a family of straight-4
turbocharged diesel engines co-developed
by Nissan and Renault. The turbocharger
is provided by Borg-Warner.[9] It has a
displacement of 1461 cc and is called 1.5
dCi (diesel Common-rail injection). Fuel
injection systems were supplied by Delphi
on the lower power level versions (up to
66 kW/90 hp) and by Continental (ex
Siemens) on the higher power level
versions (70 kW/95 hp and higher). The
Delphi injection systems have been
replaced with Bosch ones in the Euro 5
versions.
There are three versions of this engine: a
low power version, a high power version
and a high power version with variable
geometry turbocharger.[10] Their maximum
power output varies depending on the
emission standards they meet. In Euro 3
standards, their power levels are 65 PS
(48 kW), 80 PS (59 kW) and 100 PS
(74 kW). In Euro 4 standards, their power
levels are 70 PS (51 kW), 85 PS (63 kW)
and 106 PS (78 kW). In Euro 5 standards,
their power levels are 75 PS (55 kW),
90 PS (66 kW) and 110 PS (81 kW).[10]
Torque outputs range from 160 to 260 Nm
at 1,750 rpm.
The engine has been in production since
2001, with over 10 million units sold as of
April 2013. Improvements over this period
have included coating the tappets to
reduce friction by 40%; redesigning the
injector spray angle, resulting in a 15%
reduction of NOx during combustion and a
small improvement in torque; and fitting
new piston rings, reducing the tension on
the belt-driving engine accessories and
optimizing the dimensions of the base
engine. The injection pattern has been
altered to have two pilot injections over a
wide operating range, reducing
combustion noise by up to 3 decibels. Still
newer technology also includes using a
variable-pressure oil pump, and adding
stop/start battery technology and low-
pressure exhaust-gas recirculation. The
K9K engine is produced in Bursa, Turkey;
Chennai, India; and Valladolid, Spain.
Emissions-wise, it emits as little 90 g/km
of carbon dioxide.[11]
