ABSTRACT Due to its ease of use in diesel engines, its presumably lower carbon footprint, and its potential as a renewable fuel, biodiesel has attracted considerable attention in technological ...

A second generation of Common-Rail injection systems is coming into production making feasible multiple injection strategies. This paper aims to assess the capability of multiple injection in reducing ...

High-pressure common rail fuel (HPCR) systems are standard on nearly every diesel engine today, from heavy equipment to over-the-road trucks, light-duty trucks, large generators and more. HPCR fuel ...

2003 - PACE Award Winner Siemens VDO Automotive What: Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System Judge's Citation: With Siemens’ Piezo Common Rail Diesel Direct Injection System, the company ...

Diesel injectors have gotten increasingly complex over the last twenty years of diesel development, but their basic design is fairly simple. Diesel fuel from the injection pump enters the mechanical ...

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 ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Denso says it has developed a new diesel common rail (DCR) fuel injection system with the world’s highest injection pressure of 2,500 bar. Based on its research, the company claims the new system can ...

VW will be dumping its line of TDI diesels by 2007 and switching to a common-rail design for all of its oil-burners, with annual production of the new engines totaling over 2 million units. This ...

The once-almighty Mitsubishi Motors may have relegated themselves to building cheap small cars and Nissan-derived crossovers, but it was an indomitable powerhouse of innovation back in the day.
