Peugeot HDi -The technology behind common rail diesel

What is HDi and how does it work?  HDi is high pressure direct injection. Diesel fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber(a well in the piston crown)

 High pressure common rail 

diesel fuel is pumped at pressure into a storage rail.
(the common rail)

 pressurized fuel is available to each injector even at low revs
electronic control thru' ECU means injection timing, and the quantity of fuel injected can be very precisely controlled

 Quantity injected and
length of injection can be controlled

 2 stage injection - each injection 'event' h a pilot injection followed by a main injection
The ECU
Receives information about:

engine temperature
air temperature
air flow to the engine
throttle position
cam and crank position
O2 in exhaust
Fuel pressure
and more...

 The ECU
Sends commands to:

 injectors
regulators

 
Peugeot diesels engines are regarded the finest the world over. Reliable and efficient and hardworking Peugeot lead the field in rotary diesel engines and evolved the common rail diesel early in the 1990's 
 
The rotary diesel (XUD9T) w mechanical and relatively noisey. The HDi is under ECU control so more powerful, quieter and more fuel efficient then its predecessors. 
  Summary of the HDi

 better
fuel economy
lower exhaust emissions
Quieter, smoother peformance.

Under the bonnet - beneath the hood 
 Power Acceleration Economy  With the HDi Peugeot set out to maximize power output and acceleration along with increed fuel economy.

 Reduced friction and inertia
in the HDi engine

 roller-and-pawl valve driving system - less friction
pistons, con-rods and engine valves - lighter weight

  Common Rail Advantages

 Common rail means high pressure even when the engine is running slowly  engine can develop high torque at low revs allowing for smooth rapid acceleration across the power band
 Less noise, less vibrations  2 stage injection reduces 'rattle' typical of direct injection diesel
 Improved Economy  fuel saving of 20% c/w rotary diesel
 Wider service interval  20,000 km (15,000 before)
 Synthetic engine oil improved piston design
 Particulate filter
