About the HEMI Multi-Displacement System:
Chrysler Group was the primary to supply trendy, large-volume autos in North America with cylinder deactivation – the HEMI-powered 2005 Chrysler 300C and Dodge Magnum R/T went on sale within the of spring 2004 with the Chrysler Group Multi-Displacement System, or MDS. Chrysler Group was additionally the primary to supply cylinder deactivation in an SUV with the introduction of MDS within the 2005 HEMI-powered Jeep® Grand Cherokee. Chrysler Group is the primary to supply MDS in a pickup truck – the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500.

The Chrysler Group MDS is customary gear with the 5.7L HEMI on seven autos: the Chrysler 300C, Dodge Charger R/T, Durango, Magnum R/T, Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander.

With the addition of MDS to HEMI-equipped Dodge Durango and Ram, MDS-equipped autos by way of the top of the 2007 mannequin 12 months will save greater than 60 million gallons of gasoline annually.

The Chrysler Group MDS (Multi-Displacement System) seamlessly alternates between easy, excessive gasoline economic system four-cylinder mode when much less energy is required, and V-8 mode when extra energy from the 5.7L HEMI® engine is in demand,” mentioned Eric Ridenour, Executive Vice President Product Development, Chrysler Group. “This optimizes gasoline economic system when V-8 energy will not be wanted, with out sacrificing automobile efficiency.

The MDS was a part of the engine’s unique design,” mentioned Bob Lee, Vice President Powertrain Product Team, Chrysler Group. “This resulted in a cylinder-deactivation system that’s elegantly easy and utterly built-in into the engine design. The advantages are fewer elements, most reliability and decrease value.

Some of the numerous applied sciences enabling the Chrysler Group MDS are the pace of digital controls, the sophistication of the algorithms controlling the programs and using Electronic Throttle Control. The HEMI will have the ability to transition from eight cylinders to 4 in 40 milliseconds (0.040 seconds).

The HEMI engine with MDS has accomplished over 6.5 million customer- equal miles by way of Chrysler Group’s growth and sturdiness testing. It is roofed by the 7-Year/70,000-mile Limited Powertrain guarantee.

The system deactivates the valve lifters. This retains the valves in 4 cylinders closed, and there’s no combustion. In addition to stopping combustion, power will not be misplaced by pumping air by way of these cylinders. For correct operation, 5w-20 oil have to be utilized in engines with the MDS function. Failure to take action could end in improper operation of the Multiple Displacement System.

Customers will expertise estimated gasoline economic system positive factors of as much as 20 p.c below numerous driving circumstances, and a projected 10 p.c combination enchancment. Improved gasoline economic system is realized with none change in buyer expertise — drivers will obtain the profit with out altering their driving habits and with out compromising type, consolation or comfort.

MDS parts and operation

The Multiple Displacement System (MDS) supplies cylinder deactivation throughout regular pace, low acceleration and shallow grade climbing circumstances to extend gasoline economic system. Both 4 and eight cylinder configurations have even firing intervals providesmooth operation. Two cylinders on every financial institution are energetic when the engine is in four-cylinder mode – each different cylinder within the firing order. All of the cylinders which are deactivated have distinctive hydraulic valve lifters that collapse when deactivated to stop the valves from opening. Engine oil stress is used to activate and deactivate the valves. It is delivered by way of particular oil passages drilled into the cylinder block. Solenoid valves management the stream. When activated, pressurized oil pushes a latching pin on every valve lifter, which then turns into a “misplaced movement” hyperlink. Its base follows the camshaft, however its prime stays stationary, held in place towards the pushrod by gentle spring stress however unable to maneuver due to the a lot larger pressure of the valve spring.

Deactivation happens in the course of the compression stroke of every cylinder, after air and gasoline enter the cylinder. Ignition then happens, however the combustion merchandise stay trapped within the cylinder below excessive stress, as a result of the valves not open. No air enters or leaves. During subsequent piston strokes, this high-pressure fuel is repeatedly compressed and expanded like an air spring, however gasoline will not be injected.

The Multi Displacement System selectively deactivates cylinders 1,4,6, and seven, to enhance gasoline economic system. It has two modes of operation:

 

  • 8 cylinders for acceleraton and heavy masses.
  • 4 cylinders for cruising and metropolis site visitors.

The principal parts of the Multi Displacement System are:

  • Unique MDS camshaft.
  • Deactivating curler tappets.
  • 4 management valves/solenoids.
  • management valve/solenoid wiring harness.
  • oil temp sensor.

 

NOTE: Vehicles with the 5.7L Multiple Displacement System should use SAE 5W-20 oil. Failure to take action could end in improper operation of the Multiple Displacement System.

The MDS system is designed to function at speeds from round 20 mph to 80 mph. Some homeowners have reported activation at accelerates in direction of 90 mph. As proven within the chart beneath, the responsibility cycle is extra energetic at freeway speeds and on degree floor. Other parameters that homeowners have found is that the engine working temperature have to be not less than 130 levels and oil stress above 45 psi. In addition, the transmission have to be in fifth gear at speeds above 35-40 mph.

MDS “activation lights” have been added by some homeowners. This includes wiring up a small gentle and change to the No. 4 cylinder MDS solenoid energy wire on the PCM pin # 28. While some folks can decide the purpose when MDS is engaged or disengaged by the sound of the exhaust (extra notably on aftermarket exhaust programs), the sunshine supplies extra exacting outcomes as to when the MDS system is on or off.

Cylinder Deactivation

 

  • Trap an exhaust cost
  • Normal combustion occasion
  • Don’t open exhaust valve
  • Don’t open consumption valve
  • Piston is an air spring
  • Cylinders deactivated in firing sequence

Cylinder Reactivation

 

  • Empty the cylinder
  • Open exhaust valve
  • Open consumption valve
  • Normal combustion occasion
  • Cylinders reactivated in firing sequence

 

 

Duty cycle: MDS was engaged for about 17% of metropolis driving and 48% freeway for an general common of 40%
Maximizing MPG with MDS

Just a couple of easy suggestions may help homeowners of Chrysler Group engines with Multi-Displacement System (MDS) get probably the most gasoline mileage doable from their 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine.

The buyer doesn’t must drive in a sure solution to understand a gasoline economic system enchancment with MDS, however these driving habits can maximize their gasoline financial savings with this know-how.

 

  • Keeping speeds to 65 mph or beneath – MDS makes use of 4 cylinder mode most at these speeds
  • Use cruise management – this helps keep a gentle pace, typically permitting the HEMI to run on 4 cylinders for longer intervals
  • Accelerate extra steadily – the HEMI will present V8 energy each time it’s requested by the motive force
  • Use a gentle throttle each time doable – this maximizes 4 cylinder mode
