3 System components
3.1 Injector
The Piezo injectors, which are connected to the rail, inject

the necessary fuel quantity into the combustion chamber
for all operating conditions of the engine.
The injection quantity per stroke consists of a pre-injec-
tion quantity and a main injection quantity. This apporti-
onment brings about a "soft" combustion process of the
diesel engine.
A System
Due to the use of the piezo actuators, extremely short re-
sponse times are possible. This allows the injected fuel
quantity and the dosage to be controlled with extreme
accuracy. Furthermore, an excellent repeatability is ensu-
red.
The injectors are activated by the engine control unit

(ECU). Due to the possible energy recovery of piezo in-
jectors, a substantially lower activation energy is required
compared with previous systems.
Important
The connection cable connectors to the engine control

unit and the injectors must not be disconnected when
the engine is running.
Otherwise there is a danger of damaging the engine!
When repairs are required, the injectors must not be

taken apart.
No part may be loosened or unscrewed as this could
lead to the destruction of the injectors.

3.1.4 Injection nozzles
The injection nozzle is the part of the injector that is re-

sponsible for atomizing the fuel in the combustion cham-
ber.
The micro blind hole nozzles used in this system repre-

sent a further stage in the development of hole nozzles.
In contrast to conventional hole nozzles, the new techno-
logy guarantees more uniform injection behavior of indi-
vidual nozzle holes at a lower residual volume.
This is a particularly decisive advantage in low-quantity in-

3.5.2 Rail
The rail is used as a high-pressure storage for fuel which

is delivered by the diesel common rail pump (DCP), and
supplies the injectors with the necessary fuel quantity for
every operating condition.

which occur during the injection process. 1. Connections of the high-pressure lines to the

3.6.1 Function of the high-pressure sensor:
The membrane (1) is deformed in dependence of the fuel

pressure present in the rail. The deformation of the mem-
brane (1) alters the resistance value of the membrane re-
sistance bridge.
The EMA (3) evaluates the changes in the resistance va-
lue and converts them to voltage signals. Subsequently,
the voltage signal is passed on by the EMA (3) to the en-
gine control unit (ECU).

The engine control unit ECU checks all processes which

are necessary for controlling the engine system.
It computes the necessary output data for the engine
(e.g. en-gine speed, vehicle speed, engine coolant tem-
perature, intake air mass, etc.) in accordance with the dri-
ver’s requirements and the engine and vehicle data
(e.g. amount of fuel injected, exhaust gas recirculation ra-
te, ...).
In addition, other functions will be checked, such as the
