STRUCTURE OF COMMON RAIL DIRECT INJECTION SYSTEM
On diesel engines, it features a high-pressure (over 1,000 bar or 100 MPa or 15,000
psi) fuel rail feeding individual solenoid valves, as opposed to a low-pressure fuel pump feeding
unit injectors (or pump nozzles). Third-generation common rail diesels now feature piezoelectric
injectors for increased precision, with fuel pressures up to 3,000 bar (300 MPa; 44,000 psi)
Solenoid or piezoelectric valves make possible fine electronic control over the fuel
injection time and quantity, and the higher pressure that the common rail technology
makes available provides better fuel atomisation.
Common rail engines require a very short to no heating-up time , depending on ambient
temperature, and produce lower engine noise and emissions than older systems
a high-pressure pump stores a reservoir of fuel at high pressure
Besides acting aas fuel accumulator,the fuel rail also distributes fuel to the injectors.
distributor system fuel injection
the fuel is injected to each cylinder in turn by a distributor.
In distributor-type fuel-injection pumps system two or more plungers serve all the
cylinders of the engine
Distributor pumps are generally lighter and more compact, are less costly, than their inline counter parts.
Axial-piston distributor pump------------ In the case of the axial-piston distributor pump,
fuel is supplied by a vane-type pump Pressure generation, and distribution to the
individual engine cylinders, is the job of a central piston which runs on a cam plate.
Radial-piston distributor pump========In the case of the radial-piston distributor
pump, fuel is supplied by a vane-type pump. A radial-piston pump with cam ring and two
to four radial pistons is responsible for generation of the high pressure and for fuel
delivery
