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 ...

The fuel system in a diesel engine performs the same functions as it does in gas-powered engines and consists of many of the same parts. After the fuel gets to the cylinders, however, there’s a ...

Sandia National Laboratories researchers (left to right: Nathan Harry, Christopher Nilsen, Drummond Biles, and Charles Mueller) show off their prototype of ducted fuel injection module for diesel ...

Westport Fuel Systems recently unveiled its H 2 HPDI fuel system in a demonstrator truck. Westport’s HPDI fuel system technology enables heavy-duty trucks to operate on bio-methane (renewable natural ...

Starting in 2011, Ford and General Motors began using Bosch Mobility CP4 pumps to provide high pressure fuel to their diesel engines. GM used the pump on its 6.6-liter LGH and LML Duramax diesel ...

The Gen-V LT-series engines are a little bit different from the LS series, particularly in the fuel system department. All LT-series engines are direct-injection, meaning the fuel is pressurized ...

A.Here's a pressure-volume diagram for a combustion engine. Although rough, it is an approximation of the so-called air-standard cycle. '' Point (a) is at atmospheric pressure, after which the air is ...

Liquid fuel storage requirements are based on fuel type, usage, and whether the fuel is “combustible” or “flammable” as assessed by the fuel flash point. This ...

Diesel engines do their hardest work in the toughest jobs, from highway semis to construction equipment, and the reason they ...
