It consists of a spring loaded non-return needle valve operated


hydraulically by a fuel pressure wave from the fuel pump to
discharge fuel at high pressure through an atomiser.

FUEL INJECTOR
Atomisation
It is the splitting up of the fuel into very small droplets.
Penetration
The distance oil droplets travel into the combustion space
before mixing with the air and igniting.
It depends upon
- droplet size (atomisation)
- velocity leaving the injector
- condition within the combustion chamber
