cover feature Distributor injection pump versions: A distinction is made between these pumps according to the type of quantity control used, their high pressure generation and regulation, as shown in the diagram: Distributor pump Quantity control Edge controlled Control method Solenoid controlled Mechanical control Axial piston pump High pressure generation Short code Electronic controlled (EDC) VE..F Radial piston pump VE..EDC VE..MV VR (VP15. VP37) (VP29/30) VP44 Nozzle-and-holder assemblies The nozzle-and-holder assembly is required for injection of fuel into the diesel engine’s combustion chamber. It has a major influence on mixture formation and combustion and therefore contributes to optimisation of engine power as well as exhaust gas and noise development. Bosch offers various types of nozzle-and-holder assembly that are suitable for all conventional systems and engine types – from single-cylinder engines to car and truck engines. Nozzles Technical features • | words in action Bosch Diesel The injected fuel quantity varies between 1 mm³ and 350 mm³ (this quantity is forced through a 0.25 mm² opening at 2,000 km/h). • 24 The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber with a pressure of up to 2,000 bar. • The range of Bosch nozzles is diverse and covers all conventional applications. It is based on the unrivaled, extensive expertise of Bosch as a vital partner for international vehicle manufacturers. The clearance of moving parts stands at 0.002 mm. • Nozzles are used to atomise the fuel with precision and to distribute it in the combustion chamber so that optimal combustion can occur. At the same time, the nozzle reliably seals off the fuel system from the combustion chamber. Fuel injection is much faster than the blink of an eye. may 2014
