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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are certain key components in modern diesel-powered pickup trucks, cars, and SUVs that make these vehicles what they are today. Turbochargers, for instance, are a given among passenger vehicles, ...

The clearances inside diesel injection system parts are closer than those found in any other technology. The plungers and needle valves in injectors need to fit tightly to ensure precise metering and ...

Rolls-Royce Power Systems inform that a total of 50,000 Common Rail injection pumps have come off the conveyor belt at L’Orange GmbH in Glatten since 1997. The manufacturer of injection systems for ...

Wärtsilä has focused its technological developments in this realm on three main areas: Common-rail fuel injection for heavy-fuel engines; Humidification methods for reduction of NOx; and Dual-fuel ...

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 ...

Diesel engineers know increased pressure cuts particulate matter. Now, as engine manufacturers cope with the need to use high levels of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for NOx control, having the best ...

VW will be dumping its line of TDI diesels by 2007 and switching to a common-rail design for all of its oil-burners, with annual production of the new engines totaling over 2 million units. This ...
