Diesel engines rely on different types of fuel injection. Mechanical was used early on, but common rail became more popular ...

Diesel injectors fail because of two main reasons. The first has to do with the mechanical soundness of the injector structure, and the second has to do with the quality of the fuel running through ...

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 ...

Today’s diesel engines use high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) direct injection technology to provide greater efficiencies compared to conventional diesel engines. These engines operate under higher ...

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (March 28, 2016) -- The ability to study complex interactions inside a diesel engine gives Army scientists a new perspective that may help design more fuel efficient and ...
