Q
First opening pressure
The force of the high pressure fuel delivered by the injection pump acts to push the needle valve up. When this
force exceeds the set force of the first spring, the nozzle’s needle valve pushes the first pushrod up and the valve
opens. (First opening pressure is represented by point
E in the left hand figure, and point A in the right hand figure.)
Q
Second opening pressure
When the first pushrod has been lifted through the pre-lift, it contacts the second pushrod. As the set force of the
second spring is acting on the second pushrod, the combined forces of both the first spring and the second spring then
act on the needle valve, which will not lift unless these forces are overcome.
When the high pressure fuel (ie, in-line pressure) overcomes the combined forces of the first and second springs,
the needle valve is again lifted and main injection can begin. (Second opening pressure is represented by point F in
the bottom left hand figure and B to C in the bottom right hand figure.)
[4] INJECTION PUMP WITH F.S.P.
The fuel injection pump with F.S.P. (Fine Spill Port)
mechanism is equipped with two functions: speed timer
function and injection rate control function.
The former function works like this. As the rpm is low,
the injection timing gets delayed. This helps cut down on
NOx and operating noise.
The latter function serves to keep down the initial
injection rate and keep up the later injection rate, which
cuts down on NOx and PM as well.
