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 ...

Most people know that internal combustion engines require a fuel source to run. For many passenger cars and trucks, that fuel source is gasoline. However, many commercial vehicles, boats, farming ...

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 ...

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 ...

This paper presents firstly the newly developed "Timing and Injection Rate Control System" for heavy duty diesel engine. In this system, a new concept of diesel fuel injection variable pre-stroke ...

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

The diesel engine was one of the most ambitious engineering undertakings in history. It was so radical and high-minded that it still hasn’t been totally perfected—even after 150 years of development.
