Q

Electronic Unit injectors

A

Pressure built by the camshaft rocker pushing down on the top of injector. The ECM then decides how long to open the injector, and when it needs to be opened.

Q

EUI pre injection

A

The cam lobe starts to force the fuel injector plunger downward, the solenoid is de-energized, poppet valve is open and fuel is forced out of injector by the plunger into the fuel supply passage

Q

HPCR high pressure pump builds pressure of what?

A

Module says 4000 - 26000 PSI

19
Q

HPCR pressure limiting valve will open if rail pressure reaches what?

A

2000 - 3000 PSI over the normal operating pressure

20
Q

What is the purpose of a flow limiting valve?

A

Shut off fuel flow to the injector when it exceeds about 1.5 times the normal flow rate

21
Q

Energizing the solenoid in a HPCR injector creates what?

A

A pressure differential in the injector that allows the high pressure pushing up to over come the spring and low pressure on top of intermediate valve, the nozzle opens and fuel enters combustion chamber

22
Q

Electronic unit injector are actuated by?

A

A mechanical injector drive mechanism

23
Q

What is the purpose of the poppet valve in the electronic unit injector?

A

Controls fuel flow through the injector to begin and end injection

24
Q

The amount of fuel injected by an electronic unit injector is typically expressed as pulse width. Pulse width can be measured in?

A

Degrees of crankshaft rotation
Percentage of fuel
mm of fuel

25
Q

A HUEI fuel injection system involves a high pressure engine oil hydraulic system and a _____ pressure diesel fuel system.

A

Low

26
Q

HEUI injectors are controlled by the ECM to determine?

A

BOI
EOI
Fuel metering

27
Q

What are the 5 stages of the HEUI fuel injection process?

A
Pre-injection
Pilot injection
Delay period
Main injection
End of injection
28
Q

To begin the injection process in a HEUI injector, the poppet valve must be _________ by the injector solenoid

A

Opened

29
Q

T/F The HEUI fuel injector is filled with diesel fuel during the end of injection stage?

A

True

30
Q

What component does the high pressure oil act on inside of the HEUI injector?

A

Intensifier piston assembly

31
Q

The HPCR fuel system utilizes a radial piston pump that provides high pressure:

A

Fuel for the injection process

32
Q

In a HPRC fuel injector, what keeps the injector needle valve closed between injections?

A

A spring and the high pressure fuel on top the intermediate valve

33
Q

What the purpose of using the extremely high pressure that are found in the HPCR system.

A

Better atomization of the fuel

34
Q

What is the purpose of a pilot injection?

A

Pilot injection develops a flame front in the cylinder before the main fuel charge is injected which helps reduce overall engine noise and emissions
