Common Rail Fuel Injection: Key technology for clean and economical combustion

With common rail fuel injection, the combustion process can be optimized to achieve low pollutant levels combined with lower fuel consumption. Fuel is injected into the combustion chamber from a common rail under high pressure. The electronic control system ensures that the start of injection, the quantity and time are independent of the engine speed. In 1996, with the Series 4000 engine, mtu was the first manufacturer of large diesel engines to introduce common rail fuel injection as a standard feature.
