The main problem with injection pumps is to reach high injection<br />

pressures. Values up to 140 MPa maximum injection pressure can be ensured<br />

only by piston pumps. Size injection pressure implies high requirements to<br />

accuracy of execution of the piston and cylinder pumping element as well as to<br />

sealing the couple parts from the external environment. These requirements<br />

have led to reduction of functional clearances between piston and cylinder to<br />

values of 1.5 ... 3.0 μm and production of certain construction with increased<br />

plunger length compared to its diameter.<br />

This implementation involves fine grin<strong>din</strong>g operations, with extremely<br />

limited deviations in form, surface quality and their mutual position, and<br />

running operations of the piston and cylinder mating. Piston-cylinder torque<br />

thus obtained has the component parts interchangeable.<br />

2. Common Rail System<br />

Common rail is a direct injection type, used in internal combustion<br />

engines, particularly with compression ignition engines. The most important<br />

aspect of a common rail engine is that, distribution of fuel to the injectors is a<br />

main pipeline (hence the common rail) with high pressure to each injector<br />

separately.<br />

The basic idea of the system is creating pressure for injection to occur<br />

independently of the engine speed, and fuel pressure at low speed is still<br />

maximum.<br />

The so called pressure, common rail, has meantime reached that the<br />

German Bosch company and Japanese DENSO to build power pumps that can<br />

sustain pressures up to 2000 bar, presented in 17/09/2007 at IAA (Internationale<br />

Automobil-Ausstellung) Frankfurt.<br />

This system, developed after more than 15 years, but was brought to<br />

commercial use only a few years ago. The system was manufactured by Fiat in<br />

the '80s, but those who have implemented for the first time in a vehicle for sale,<br />

was Mercedes. After them, others have followed, one of them being Peugeot<br />

that in 2000 had spectacular sales increases on vans equipped with such system.<br />

The visible difference from the old system is that fuel injection does not go<br />

directly to the injectors to pump but it builds a common platform and from there<br />

goes directly to the injectors.<br />

Development of common rail injection system was done trying to follow<br />

the principles of gas injection. Many ideas are taken from this system.<br />

The advantages that this system brings from previous versions of diesel<br />

injection systems are:<br />

1. Harm reduction due to better fuel spray into cylinder and due to better<br />

control over the amount of fuel entering the cylinder during injection, CO2<br />

emissions be reduced by up to 20% and carbon monoxide level is reduced by up<br />

to 40%. Unburnt hydrocarbons are decreased by 50%.
