The key ingredient to maximizing the peak performance of a diesel engine is increasing the amount of diesel being burned. On old mechanical-injection engines, the only way to do this was to modify the ...

Mechanical injection systems rely entirely on engine driven components to meter, pressurize, and time fuel delivery. In these engines, a mechanical injection pump is driven by the engine's gear train ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

Common Rail Direct Injection is a very effective technology for diesel engines as it leads to better fuel efficiency, less vibrations and noise, reduced emission levels and many other technical ...

2003 - PACE Award Winner Siemens VDO Automotive What: Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System Judge's Citation: With Siemens’ Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System, the company ...

The common-rail fuel injection system does away with a timed injection pump. Instead a single output pump supplies a fuel “rail” – a reservoir of fuel held at pressures of between 400 and 1400 bar ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

The Volkswagen group will switch to common-rail diesel technology when it launches a new generation of three- and four-cylinder diesel engines starting in 2007. VW is dropping its Pumpe-Duese, or pump ...

High pressure common rail system can precisely control the injection time and injection pressure to improve the thermal efficiency of the engine. The injection characteristics of the system can affect ...

Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...
