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 have considerably more fuel injection pressure than diesels of the past. For example, early Stanadyne DB2 injection pumps push fuel out to the injector at 6,700 psi, while newer ...

Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology configured with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) have combined to reduce nitrous oxide (NO X) emissions by more than 73 percent and carbon monoxide (CO) ...

SAE Transactions, Vol. 104, Section 3: JOURNAL OF ENGINES (1995), pp. 112-127 (16 pages) A computer model solving the 1-D flow in a typical fuel injection system for direct-injection diesel engines is ...

Suppliers of diesel fuel injectors are fighting a technology battle to win new business as tougher European Union emissions rules take effect before the end of the decade. German suppliers Robert ...
