10 Indirect injection. 11 In-line injector pump from a large diesel engine. 32 How does a diesel engine work? 12 Port-helix geometry. Helix Piston Think about how a slide runs around and round a helter-skelter. This provides the “helix” bit of the port-helix name. The piston can move inside the cylinder in two directions, in and out, driven by a cam; this provides the “compression” of the diesel fuel. Now, pay attention: This is the clever bit. The “port” in the side of the valve allows “excess” fuel to escape.
With the nozzles located below the edge of the seat, the fuel must pass past the needle into a small cavity, before spraying through the holes, which produce a number of smaller plumes of fuel, which are injected directly into the cylinder. We can see that with a hole-type fuel injector, as with the pintle nozzle, the high pressure of the fuel inside the injector allows the fuel to atomize as it is sprayed into the cylinder, ensuring that it mixes well with the air. 14 Component parts of fuel injector.
Diesel fuel is stored in a tank, usually at the rear of the vehicle, mounted below the trunk or below the rear seats. The fuel tank is connected first to the fuel filter by a pipe. Fuel filters can take different forms and there is some variation. 5 Diesel cycle. 28 How does a diesel engine work? 6 Diesel cycle graph. Fuel injection The technology of fuel injection is fundamental to a diesel engine’s operation. Unlike gasoline engines, where fuel injection is a design option and a carburetor can be employed to meter the fuel/air mixture, with diesel, fuel injection is mandatory.
