Bosch launched the first common rail system in 1997. The system is named after the shared high-pressure reservoir (common rail) that supplies all the cylinders with fuel. With conventional diesel ...

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 ...

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 ...
