The fuel injection pump is the heart of the diesel engine. Precisely delivered fuel maintains a rhythm or timing that keeps the engine running smooth. Simultaneously, the pump also controls the amount ...

"Common rail." It is a term that at this point is universally known across the entire diesel space. However, for uninitiated or new enthusiasts, the term refers to the manner in which late-model/newer ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Mechanical injection systems rely entirely on engine driven components to meter, pressurize, and time fuel delivery. In these ...
