Innovations by Bosch in the Field of diesel-injection technology, such as the unit injector and common-rail high-pressure fuel-injection systems, have made a significant contribution to the diesel boom in Europe in the last few years. These systems make the diesel engine at once quieter, more economical, more powerful, and lower in emissions. This reference book provides a comprehensive insight into the extended diesel fuel-injection systems and into the electronic system used to control the diesel engine. this book also focuses on minimizing emission inside of the engine and exhaust-gas treatment (e.g., by particulate filters). The texts are complemented by numerous detailed drawings and illustrations.
