unit injectors
Unit Injectors

Unit injectors play a crucial role in modern diesel fuel systems, especially those employing common rail fuel systems. These precision-engineered components are integral to the fuel injection process in diesel engines, ensuring efficient combustion and optimal fuel economy. As part of the fuel system, unit injectors work in conjunction with fuel pumps, fuel lines, and injection pumps to deliver diesel fuel from the fuel tank through primary and secondary fuel filters. The process begins with a transfer pump drawing diesel fuel from the fuel tank, passing it through the primary fuel filter, and then through the injection pump. The injection pump pressurizes the fuel and delivers it to individual unit injectors, which, in turn, precisely inject the fuel directly into each cylinder's combustion chamber. 

This technology represents a significant advancement in diesel engine performance, as it allows for more precise control of fuel delivery, enhancing combustion efficiency. The intricate design and manufacturing of unit injectors incorporate advanced technologies to achieve this level of precision. In addition to improving fuel efficiency, unit injectors also contribute to reduced emissions and protect the engine components. As Cummins continues to develop and apply cutting-edge technologies in diesel fuel systems, our unit injectors play an important role in meeting the demand for cleaner, more fuel-efficient engines.

Common Rail Fuel Systems

Common rail fuel systems revolutionize the diesel fuel injection process in modern engines, significantly improving performance, fuel economy, and emissions control. At the heart of these systems are common rail injectors, which play a pivotal role in delivering precise amounts of diesel fuel to the combustion chambers. In a common rail setup, diesel fuel is stored in a high-pressure rail that supplies fuel to each injector independently. This approach ensures a constant and consistent high pressure, allowing for precise control over fuel injection timing and quantity. The common rail injectors operate in conjunction with other fuel system components, such as fuel pumps, fuel lines, and filters, ensuring a clean and efficient fuel supply. 

The technology behind Cummins' common rail fuel systems represents a breakthrough in diesel engine design, as it allows for more flexible and precise fuel delivery, leading to improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. These systems contribute to enhanced combustion efficiency by delivering fuel at high pressure directly to the combustion chamber. The development of these systems is a result of extensive research and the application of advanced technologies in the manufacturing process. Cummins invests in these technologies to meet stringent emission standards and provide vehicles with optimal fuel efficiency and performance.
