The impact of common rail system's control parameters on the performance of high-power diesel

Abstract

The effect of common rail system's injection timing and rail pressure on high-power diesel's fuel economy and emission characteristics has been studied through tests. The experimental results show that with the rail pressure increasing, fuel economy and smoke are improving, while NOx is deteriorating. However, as rail pressure very high, the improving trends of smoke and fuel economy are not obvious terribly, and even at low load condition, the economy will decline instead. With injection timing delayed, NOx is reducing while smoke and fuel economy are augmenting at the conditions of high load. However, at the low load conditions, with injection timing lagging, smoke and NOx will decline simultaneously. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
