Bosch is the only company worldwide to offer diesel
injection equipment for applications ranging from the
smallest passenger-car engines right up to the largest
medium-speed heavy-fuel-oil engines. Bosch offers
injection equipment for large diesel engines in all
regions and to a large number of well-known custom-
ers. Large diesel engines are all off-highway engines
with a rated power of over 560 kW.
High-speed engines with a displacement of more than
2.5 liters per cylinder are equipped with the Modular
Common Rail System (MCRS) developed in Hallein.
This system features a wide range of possible applica-
tions and now also offers all the benefits of Common
Rail injection for large diesel engines.
Functional principle
The MCRS-specific fuel-storage volume in the high-
pressure pump and the injectors minimizes hydraulic
pulsation in the high-pressure system. This makes
it easy to design a modular system for requirements
ranging from a 4-cylinder in-line engine to a 20-cylin-
der V-engine. The fuel accumulator in the injector
also ensures a nearly constant pressure even during
injection and maximum flexibility for multiple injec-
tions. For reasons of robustness, the MCRS of the
second generation is equipped with a ball valve
which increases the injectors robustness with the
fuel qualities available in the markets. For medium-
speed diesel engines, one of the changes to the
MCRS platform is the addition of larger solenoid
valves and nozzles. Here the MCRS technology is
expected to save considerable amounts of fuel.
This leads to a significant competitive advantage
for our customers. Further increasing pressure to
2,200 bar enables engine manufacturers to react
even more flexible to upcoming requirements
regarding optimiziation of emissions and fuel
consumption.

The Bosch MCRS is a Common Rail System in modular
design for large diesel engines which does not require
a separate rail. The electronically controlled and oil-
lubricated CP9.1 high-pressure inline pump generates
the high pressure. It can be used with two to five
cylinders and integrated high-pressure accumulator,
pressure sensor and pressure safety valve depending
on the performance requirements.
The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber
with CRIN-LE-type injectors. These are each equipped
with their own high-pressure accumulator, safety flow
limiter and solenoid valve for multiple injection. Our
CRIN-LE was developed for typical large-diesel appli
cations. Because the injectors are connected with one
another using short high-pressure lines (also double-
walled), the MCRS is particularly versatile. Its special
design incorporating high-pressure accumulators
minimizes pressure pulsation. This guarantees con-
stant injection pressure at the nozzle. The Bosch
EDC17 CV41 electronic engine control unit is suitable
for installation close to the engine.
Modular system
The system can easily be adapted to suit engines with
different numbers of cylinders as it does not require a
rail. The number of injectors and pump elements varies
correspondingly.

Outlook
In order to fulfill future emission targets, Bosch is
engaged in the further development of the existing
Common Rail platforms for large diesel engines with
a pressure increase to 2,200 bar. This system will be
available in 2014.
