Electronic Diesel Injectors

Electronic Diesel Injectors

Electronic Diesel injectors have 4 functions

1. Timing

2. Metering

3. Pressurisation

4. Atomisation
Electronic Diesel Injectors

Pressurisation
This is normally done by the use of a Cam
working on a plunger in the injector

Can also been done by Hydraulic pressure (HEUI)

or by an external pump (Common Rail)
Electronic Diesel Injectors

Timing:
Timing is achieved by when the solenoid is
activated,

Earlier = advanced

Later = retarded
Electronic Diesel Injectors

Metering:

This is achieved by the duration that

the solenoid is activated
Electronic Diesel Injectors

Atomisation

Occurs through the normal process of

a hydraulic injector;

This injector sends a signal back
to the ECM for the calculation of
