This reference book provides a comprehensive insight into todays diesel injection systems and
electronic control. It focusses on minimizing emissions and exhaust-gas treatment. Innovations
by Bosch in the field of diesel-injection technology have made a significant contribution to
the diesel boom. Calls for lower fuel consumption reduced exhaust-gas emissions and quiet
engines are making greater demands on the engine and fuel-injection systems. Contents ¿History

engine.- Fuels: Diesel fuel.- Fuels: Alternative fuels.- Cylinder-charge control systems.-
Basic principles of diesel fuel-injection.- Overview of diesel fuel-injection systems.- Fuel
supply to the low pressure stage.- Overview of discrete cylinder systems.- Unit injector
system.- Unit pump system.- Overview of common-rail systems.- High pressure components of the
common-rail system.- Injection nozzles.- Nozzle holders.- High pressure lines.- Start assist
systems.- Minimizing emissions inside of the engine.- Exhaust-gas treatment.- Electronic diesel
control.- Electronic control unit.- Sensors.- Fault diagnostics.- Service technology.-
Exhaust-gas emissions.- Emissions-control legislation.- Exhaust-gas measuring techniques. The
target groups Motor-vehicle technicians in education and vocational training Master-mechanics
and technicians in garage-workshops Teachers and lecturers in vocational schools Students at
universities and technical colleges And all those interested in automotive engineering About
the Bosch Group Bosch is the world¿s largest independent supplier of parts and equipment for
motor vehicles. Innovations by Bosch have shaped the development of the automobile. Bosch¿s
dominant technological role in many fields is demonstrated by the fact that it has the most
patent applications in automotive engineering in Germany to the European Patent Office and in
the USA.
