An Approach to the Application of Fuel Injection Equipment for Passenger Car Diesel Engines

The range of applications for Diesel engines, especially for automotive Diesel engines, is steadily increasing. High fuel costs, increasingly severe emission and fuel consumption regulations together with the driver’s comfort expectations place increasing demands on the fuel injection system. To satisfy these requirements, the engine’s needs must be precisely determined. A suitable fuel injection system can then be defined and its components matched to the engine.

The objective of this paper is to illustrate the necessity for a close cooperation between the engine and the fuel injection equipment manufacturer, to describe the application process and to show the fuel injection equipment for automotive Diesel engines.
