This document discusses different types of fuel injection systems used in diesel engines, including direct injection, indirect injection, and a combination system. Direct injection injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber at high pressure, while indirect injection uses a pre-chamber at lower pressure. Direct injection provides good mixing through fuel spray energy but can be noisy, while indirect injection has poorer starting and requires glow plugs. Some engines combine systems by dividing the pre-chamber between the head and piston. The document also briefly mentions the injector, pump, and timing involved in fuel injection systems.

● Although the pressure in the cylinder at this point is likely to be
anything up to 200 bar, the fuel pressure at the atomizer will be of the order of 1300–1800 bar.
● In the early days of airless injection many ingenious varieties
of combustion chamber were used, sometimes mainly to reduce noise or smoke, or to ease starting; but often in part to reduce, or to use modest, injection and combustion pressures. Direct and Indirect Injection Direct Injection ● Direct injection is what it says it is: the fuel is delivered directly into a single combustion chamber formed in the cylinder space atomization being achieved as the fuel issues from small drillings in the nozzle tip. ● In the direct injection engine the fuel/air mixing is achieved by the energy in the fuel spray propelling the droplets into the hot, dense air. Additional mixing may be achieved by the orderly movement of the air in the combustion chamber, which is called ‘air swirl’. ● Naturally aspirated engines usually have a degree of swirl and an injection pressure of around 800 bar. Highly turbocharged engines with four-valve heads have virtually no swirl, but have an injection pressure of 1200–1800 bar to provide the mixing energy.

Indirect Injection ● indirect injection is exploited, some high speed engines retain a pre-chamber in the cylinder head into which fuel is injected as a relatively coarse spray at low pressure, sometimes using a single hole. Combustion is initiated in the pre-chamber, the burning gases issuing through the throat of the chamber to act on the piston. ● Fuel/air mixing is achieved by a very high air velocity in the chamber, the air movement scouring the walls of the chamber and promoting good heat transfer. Thus the wall can be very hot-requiring heat resistant materials—but it can also absorb too much heat from the air in the initial compression strokes during starting and prevent ignition

combination of the two systems One engine designer, SEMT-Pielstick, achieved an ingenious combination of the two systems by dividing the pre-chamber between cylinder head and piston crown. At TDC a stud on the piston enters the pre-chamber to provide a restricted outlet. On the expansion stroke the restriction is automatically removed and fuel economy comparable with normal direct injection engines is attainable INJECTOR PUMP Timing
