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 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 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 ...

ABSTRACT To meet increasingly stringent diesel exhaust emissions requirements, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have introduced common rail fuel injection systems that develop pressures of up ...

A second generation of Common-Rail injection systems is coming into production making feasible multiple injection strategies. This paper aims to assess the capability of multiple injection in reducing ...

"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 ...

Most people know that internal combustion engines require a fuel source to run. For many passenger cars and trucks, that fuel source is gasoline. However, many commercial vehicles, boats, farming ...

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 ...

Diesel engines lack the spark of gas engines, both literally and figuratively. They don't need a spark plug since they ignite the fuel using only compression, but also lack the 'je ne sais quoi' that ...

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 ...
