Injection System with Pressure Accumulator for Commercial Powertrain Units

The present work deals with a common-rail fuel injection system for powertrain applications. As part of the solution of the thesis, a comprehensive analysis of the injection system has been carried out with an indication of the principle and function of the necessary components, including demonstrations on specific vehicles and an outline of future developments. The injection system can be divided into 3 parts: low pressure, high pressure and control. The low-pressure section describes the fuel filter and feed pump. Within the high-pressure part, the components which are the injector, the high-pressure pump and the fuel rail are given in context. The control section then presents the control unit, sensors and actuators necessary to control the pressure and quantity of fuel. In order to give a comprehensive overview of the common-rail fuel injection system, the common-rail system parameters were measured and evaluated on a specific power unit using diagnostic equipment. The measurements verified the maximum pressure declared by the vehicle manufacturer, while showing the fuel pressure waveform in the fuel rail in different engine operating modes. style
