 INTRODUCTION:-
CRDI stands for Common Rail Direct Injection.
Direct injection of the fuel into the cylinders of an
engine via a single, common line, called the common
rail which is connected to all the fuel injectors.
Instead of providing separate piston pumps for fuel
supply, the common rail alone supplies high pressure
fuel to each cylinder.
 TECHNOLOGY USED:-
-In ordinary diesel direct fuel-injection systems have
to build up pressure anew for each and every
injection cycle, CRDI engines maintain constant
pressure regardless of the injection sequence.
-This pressure then remains permanently available
throughout the fuel line.
-The electronic control unit (ECU) modifies injection
pressure precisely as needed, based on data
obtained from sensors on the cam and crankshafts. ie
compression and injection occur independently of
each other.
-This technique allows fuel to be injected as needed,
saving fuel and lowering emissions.
CRDI ENGINE:-
 PRINCIPLE:-
• Unlike in conventional diesel engines, the fuel is fed into
the common tube or rail and high pressure is
maintained.
• This allows fuel to combine with air much more
efficiently.
• It features high-pressure fuel rail feeding individual
solenoid valves as opposed to low-pressure fuel pump
feeding injectors.
LAYOUT OF A CRDI ENGINE:-
 WORKING:-

• Solenoid valves make possible fine electronic control

over the injection time and amount, and the higher
pressure that the common rail technology makes
available provides better fuel atomization. In order to
lower engine noise, the engine's electronic control unit
can inject a small amount of diesel just before the main
injection event ("pilot" injection), thus reducing its
explosiveness and vibration, as well as optimizing
injection timing and the process continues.
 FEATURES:-
• Direct injector
• Spiral-shaped intake port
• Integrated port
• Air flow metering
• Multiple Pilot injection and
Post injection
• Powerful Microcomputer
• Newly-developed catalytic
converters
• Reduced noise levels
 DIRECT INJECTOR:-

A fuel injector is
nothing but an
electronically
controlled valve.
 SPIRAL-SHAPED INTAKE PORT:-

Provides optimum
swirl and even
distribution of fuel.
 INTEGRATED PORT:-

Integrated port is used for exhaust gas

recycling. There are three advantages to this
system
• eliminates external pipes which are subject to
vibration
• quicker engine warm-up
• better combustion.
 AIR FLOW METERING:-

• It gives exact analysis of the air-mass that is being

taken in.
• Due to this metering system, the microcomputer
that controls engine timing receives precise data.
 MULTIPLE PILOT INJECTION AND
POST INJECTION:-
• Pilot injections is small doses of fuel made prior to
the main injection which help to smoothen the sharp
combustion character.
• Post injection is a similarly small dose of fuel
injected after the main injection to reduce
particulates.
POWERFUL MICROCOMPUTER:-

• The microcomputer regulates the amount of time

the valves stay open and thus the amount of fuel
injected, depending on operating conditions and
how much output is needed.
 NEWLY-DEVELOPED CATALYTIC
CONVERTERS:-
• Besides electronically-controlled exhaust-gas
recycling which contributes to lower nitrous oxide
emissions, CRDI engines are equipped with catalytic
converters near the motor and emission control
devices on the underbody. These vouch for a high
degree of efficiency.
 REDUCED NOISE LEVELS:-

• The Electronic control and multiple injections

reduced noise to a great extent
 SCOPE FOR FURTHER
DEVELOPMENT:-
• Use of different fuels for zero emissions and better
engine performance
• By using different fuels and cetane improvers,
maximum torque can be obtained
• Lowering the cost
• Closed-loop control injection with ion sensing
technology
 ADVANTAGES:-
-Reduced noise and vibration.
-Reduced smoke , particulates and exhaust.
-Increased fuel economy.
-Higher power output even at lower rpm.
 DISADVANTAGES:-

-Increased cost due to high pressure pump and

electronic control unit.
-Technology cannot be employed in present engines.
 CONCLUSION:-

CRDI technology revolutionized diesel engines. It

has changed the way one looks as diesel cars by
providing the above said advantages.
MANUFACTURERS OF CRDI ENGINE:-

The car makers refer to their common rail engines by

their own brand names. Some of them are
BMW's D-engines
Mahindra's CRDe
Tata's DICOR
Honda's i-CTDi
Hyundai-Kia's CRDi etc
