Bosch-Common Rail System – Fuel rail (common rail)

1 Fuel pressure sensor The fuel rail is made of forged steel. The common rail performs the following functions: • stores fuel under high pressure and • minimizes pressure fluctuations. Pressure fluctuations are induced in the high-pressure fuel system due to the operating movements in the high-pressure chambers of the high-pressure pump and the opening… Read More »

Bosch-Common Rail System – Zero delivery valve

1 From high-pressure chamber annular channel 2 Zero delivery valve 3 Calibrated bore (ø = 0.4 mm) 4 To transfer pump The zero delivery valve is located between the annular channel that is connected to the inlet valves of the high-pressure chambers and the fuel metering valve. Even in the fully closed state, the fuel… Read More »

Bosch-Common Rail System – Intercooler bypass flap servo motor

During the regeneration phase, the intercooler bypass flap opens, enabling uncooled charge air to be directed to the combustion chambers. The uncooled air prevents cooling of the combustion chamber when engine speeds/engine loads are low and this promotes the regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. The intercooler bypass flap servo motor incorporates a DC motor… Read More »
