It is advanced that cool-starting capacity of the battery is the key factor that affects the cool-starting performance of diesel engine. Cool-starting capacity of the battery is mainly affected by these factors,such as, the structure of the polar board, discharge electric current, temperature and density of the electrolyte. By optimally calculating the parameters above, optimal performance parameters of diesel engine at low temperature are received. Two performance tests of the diesel engine at low temperature,both Cool-Starting torque and starting rotate speed,are made on the basis of the cool-starting system of diesel engine,which completely satisfy the cool-starting requirements of the diesel engine at low temperature.
