COMMON RAIL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
COMMON RAIL SYSTEM:
The common rail system uses high-pressure fuel to improve fuel economy and to provide robust engine power, while suppressing engine vibration and noise.
This system stores fuel, which has been pressurized and supplied by the fuel supply pump assembly, in the common rail. By storing fuel at high-pressure, the common rail system can provide fuel at stable fuel injection pressures, regardless of engine speed or engine load.
The ECM regulates the fuel injection timing and volume by using the EDU to provide an electric current to the solenoid valve in the injector assembly. The ECM also monitors the internal fuel pressure of the common rail using the fuel pressure sensor. The ECM causes the fuel supply pump assembly to supply the fuel necessary to obtain the target fuel pressure.
In addition, this system has a 2-Way Valve (TWV) inside the injector assembly to open and close the fuel passage. As a result, both fuel injection timing and fuel injection volume can be precisely regulated by the ECM.
The common rail system provides two split fuel injections. In order to soften combustion shock, this system performs "pilot-injection" as the subsidiary fuel injection prior to the main fuel injection. This helps to reduce engine vibration and noise.
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Common rail assembly | Stores high-pressure fuel produced by fuel supply pump assembly |
| Fuel supply pump assembly | Operated by crankshaft. Supplies high-pressure fuel to common rail assembly. |
| Injector assembly | Injects fuel to combustion chamber based on signals from ECM |
| Fuel pressure sensor | Monitors internal fuel pressure of common rail and sends signals to ECM |
| Pressure discharge valve | Based on signals from the ECM, opens valve when sudden deceleration is occurred, or when the ignition switch is OFF to prevent the fuel pressure from becoming too high. |
| Suction control valve | Based on signals from ECM, adjusts fuel volume supplied to common rail and regulates internal fuel pressure |

INJECTION CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM controls the fuel injection system by using the injectors and fuel supply pump assembly. The ECM regulates the fuel injection volume and fuel injection timing by controlling both the duration and timing of energizing to the solenoid valve in the injector assembly. The ECM regulates injection pressure by controlling the suction control valve located in the fuel supply pump assembly.
The feed pump is used to pump fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel supply pump assembly.
FUEL SUPPLY PUMP OPERATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The rotation of the eccentric cam in the fuel supply pump assembly causes the ring cam in the supply pump to push plunger A upward as illustrated below. The spring force pulls plunger B (located opposite to plunger A) upward. As a result, plunger B draws the fuel in and plunger A pumps fuel out at the same time.
SUCTION CONTROL VALVE OPERATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Tech Tips
The ECM controls the suction control valve operation to regulate the fuel volume that is pumped by the fuel supply pump assembly to the common rail. This control is performed to adjust the internal fuel pressure of the common rail to the targeted injection pressure.
Small opening of the suction control valve:
When the opening of the suction control valve is small, the fuel suction path is kept narrow. Therefore the transferable fuel volume is reduced (*A).
The suction volume becomes small due to the narrow path despite the plunger stroke being full. The difference between the geometrical volume and suction volume creates a vacuum (*B).
Pumping will start when the fuel pressure becomes higher than the common rail pressure (*C).
Large opening of the suction control valve:
When the opening of the suction control valve is large, the fuel suction path is kept wide. Therefore the transferable fuel volume is increased (*D).
If the plunger stroke is full, the suction volume becomes large because of the wide path (*E).
Pumping will start when the fuel pressure becomes higher than the common rail pressure (*F).
