Mechanical injection systems rely entirely on engine driven components to meter, pressurize, and time fuel delivery. In these engines, a mechanical injection pump is driven by the engine's gear train ...

However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Today's diesel engines have considerably more fuel injection pressure than diesels of the past. For example, early Stanadyne DB2 injection pumps push fuel out to the injector at 6,700 psi, while newer ...

The diesel engine dates back to the 1890s when Rudolf Diesel, a German inventor and mechanical engineer, created the powerplant for use in commercial power generation applications. The design ...
