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 ...

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 ...

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 have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

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 ...

Modern commercial vehicles are cleaner and more economical than ever before, and Bosch says its diesel direct-injection systems have contributed significantly to this progress. The high-injection ...

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 ...

There are two main ingredients to common rail fuel injection, one being the freedom to choose injection pressure and timing totally independently of the engine load. The other is computerized control, ...
