What is diesel engine common rail?
Common rail is a fuel injection system found in modern diesel engines. Common rail systems provide a level of flexibility which can be exploited for class leading emission control, power and fuel consumption.
How does a diesel common rail work?
HOW DOES THE COMMON RAIL SYSTEM WORK? The high pressure pump pressurizes the fuel and transfers it to the rail, a common conduit that serve as pressure accumulator and reservoir. The pressure is regulated by an electronically controlled valve, so that the rail maintains the correct pressure required by the ECU.
Is d4d common rail?
This engine uses Toyota’s D-4D Common Rail fuel injection technology operating at ultra-high pressures of up to 1,350 bar (19,600 psi) which is about 8 times more than the pressure of conventional fuel injection systems within a “common rail” that feeds the injectors on all four cylinders.
What pressure does a common rail diesel run at?
2,000 BAR – 29,000 PSI
Common rail direct fuel injection is a direct fuel injection system for petrol and diesel engines. On diesel engines, it features a high-pressure (2,000 BAR – 29,000 PSI) fuel rail feeding individual solenoid valves, as opposed to a low-pressure fuel pump feeding unit injectors or pump nozzles.
How do I know if my common rail injectors are bad?
Symptoms of a faulty Common Rail injector?
- Check engine light: if the engine is not performing as it should, it can trigger the engine management light to come on.
- Rough idle: if fuel delivery is restricted, the RPM at idle will drop resulting in a rough idle.
What are the features of modern common rail diesel systems?
All these are features of modern common rail diesel systems. The diesel fuel in a common rail diesel system is always available for the engine to use whatever the engine speed. It is always available and available at high pressure. This means high pressure fuel is available even when the engine is only ticking over i.e. at low revs.
What is common rail direct fuel injection?
Common rail diesel is both electronic and high pressure. Common rail direct fuel injection is a direct fuel injection system for petrol and diesel engines.
What is the difference between electronic control fuel and common rail?
Electronic control fuel systems were introduced mainly to meet emissions legislation, with common rail systems being introduced to mainline manufacturing in the late 1990’s. Common rail diesel is both electronic and high pressure. Common rail direct fuel injection is a direct fuel injection system for petrol and diesel engines.
What is a high pressure fuel rail?
On diesel engines, it features a high-pressure (2,000 BAR – 29,000 PSI) fuel rail feeding individual solenoid valves, as opposed to a low-pressure fuel pump feeding unit injectors or pump nozzles. Diesel fuel is injected into the engine in very small amounts by electronically controlled injectors.
