Diesel Engine in a Swift
Picture this: A new swanky Maruti Swift, shining in the moonlight. Sounds good, aint it? Well yeah. It has been designed well too. Swift's core contains a 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC arrangement with a 75bhp performance. The new Maruti Swift VDi has a Common Rail Multi Injection fuel system to boast of. I dont know what this was. Wiki came to my rescue, now I know something. Let me give you gyan. In older diesel engines, a distributor-type injection pump, regulated by the engine, supplies bursts of fuel to injectors which are simply nozzles through which the diesel is sprayed into the engine's combustion chamber. In common rail systems like the engine in Swift, the distributor injection pump is eliminated. Instead an extremely high pressure pump stores a reservoir of fuel at high pressure – up to 2,000 bar (200 MPa, 29,000 psi)[1] – in a "common rail", basically a tube which in turn branches off to computer-controlled injector valves, each of which contains a precision...
