CRIDEC-A PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO HIGH-PERFORMANCE, ALL ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION FOR DIESEL ENGINES

CRIDEC is an advanced-concept, high-performance fuel injection system utilizing a common-rail, intensifier, and direct-electronic control. The combination of a single-solenoid, ball-poppet valve, pressure intensifier, and accumulator-type nozzle, offers precise, all-electronic control with very high pressure capability at all engine speeds. This unique system gives performance and control flexibility that is difficult to attain with conventional systems. When appropriately tailored to the engine and combustion system, significant improvements in fuel economy and low exhaust emissions are possible. By taking full advantage of electronics, microcomputers, and by eliminating conventional mechanical cams, levers, and governors, the hydromechanical components are greatly simplified. These same features allow scaling for application to engines of all sizes and speeds.
