ABSTRACT
New challenges are driving the automotive industry forward. Given the calls for climate
protection, stricter international emissions standards, and the finite nature of the world’s oil
reserves, everything points to the advances in diesel engines, which have always offered better
mileage and lower emissions than comparable gasoline engines.
The TDI engine in particular has always been ahead in the run to achieve maximum fuel
efficiency compared to other diesel engine technologies. Volkswagen has many years' experience
in TDI technology. In many countries, TDI is a registered trademark of Volkswagen AG. The
TDI badge identifies all the Group's diesel-powered models featuring diesel direct injection and a
turbocharger. Characteristic features of the TDI engines are fuel economy, low emissions, high
pulling power (torque) and outstanding power efficiency. Functionality: A turbocharger supplies
the engine with fresh air, thereby providing optimum cylinder charging. After compression, the
diesel is injected directly into the cylinders at very high pressure by way of a nozzle. Effective
engine encapsulation keeps noise to a minimum, while hydraulic engine mounts ensure smooth,
low-vibration running.
Unit Injector developed by the VW group is an integrated direct fuel injection system for
diesel engines; combining the injector nozzle and the injection pump in a single component, the
pump of which is (usually) driven by the engine camshaft. Design of the Unit Injector eliminates
the need for high pressure fuel pipes, and with that their associated failures, as well as allowing
for much higher injection pressure to occur. The unit injector system allows accurate injection
timing, and amount control much better than common rail system .
We will be discussing various factors that have led to the current improvement in diesel
engines with a study of the Volkswagen 1.9 litre TDI engine.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Over one hundred years ago, in a letter to his former tutor Carl von Linde, Rudolph
Diesel wrote: "I have some exciting news; I have found an engine which, according to my
calculations, consumes only approximately one tenth of the coal required by our contemporary
steam engines." With great conviction, Rudolph Diesel developed the first four-stroke diesel
engine from his initial mathematical calculations. Its high efficiency placed everything that had
gone before it in the shade. With equal conviction, there has been optimization of his invention
with newer techniques like common rail, direct injection and turbocharging. The objectives may
have changed somewhat, but the conviction with which Rudolph Diesel worked on his engine is
now a major means of automotive applications, ship propulsion and electrical power generation.

In its early stage, the gasoline engine wasn't very efficient, and other major methods of
transportation such as the steam engine fared poorly as well. We might see the words "diesel
engine" and think of big, hefty cargo trucks spewing out black, sooty smoke and creating a loud
clattering noise. This negative image of diesel trucks and engines has made diesel less attractive
to casual drivers - although diesel is great for hauling large shipments over long distances, it
hasn't been the best choice for everyday commuters. This is starting to change, however, as there
are improvements in the diesel engine to make it cleaner and less noisy.
In theory, diesel engines and gasoline engines are quite similar. They are both internal
combustion engines designed to convert the chemical energy available in fuel into mechanical
energy. Both diesel engines and gasoline engines convert fuel into energy through a series of
small explosions or combustions. The major difference between diesel and gasoline is the way
these explosions happen. In a gasoline engine, fuel is mixed with air, compressed by pistons and
ignited by sparks from spark plugs. In a diesel engine, however, the air is compressed first, and
then the fuel is injected. Because air heats up when it's compressed, the fuel ignites. Diesel fuel
has a higher energy density than gasoline. On average, 1 gallon (3.8 L) of diesel fuel contains
approximately 155x106 joules (147,000 BTU), while 1 gallon of gasoline contains 132x106
joules (125,000 BTU). This, combined with the improved efficiency of diesel engines, explains
why diesel engines get better mileage than equivalent gasoline engines.
2.0 MEETING THE CHALLENGE THROUGH
ADVANCEMENTS
2.1 Engine Technologies:
The first component of a clean diesel system is an advanced engine designed to minimize
NOx and PM in engine cylinders through combustion management. By altering the values of
parameters such as fuel injection timing, injection pressure, or combustion gas temperature, new
techniques are being developed to reduce the levels of these pollutants before the exhaust reaches
the after-treatment system. Today’s diesels use direct injection (DI), which refers to the method
by which fuel is inserted into the cylinders. Indirect-injection engines first mix fuel and air in a
“prechamber” outside the cylinder to assist in fully diffusing the fuel into the air before it is
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 9/28
injected into the main cylinder. Although indirect injection accommodates a thorough fuel/air
mixture, it incurs a fuel economy penalty due to energy losses caused by the prechamber. Direct-
injection engines overcome that fuel economy penalty by injecting fuel directly into the cylinder
yielding a significant efficiency gain.
2.2 High-Pressure Fuel Injection:
More complete mixing of fuel and air in the cylinder minimizes the creation of fuel-rich
areas that are the source of particle emissions during combustion. Today’s high- pressure fuel
injectors can spray fuel mist into the cylinders at extremely high pressures (around 20,000 to
30,000 pounds per square inch), accelerating diffusion and reducing engine-out emissions.
Because of the importance of fuel injection with respect to engine performance and emissions,
much research has been devoted to developing these high-pressure systems. They include-
The common rail system, keeps fuel under pressure at all times so that high-pressure fuel injection
can be obtained during any vehicle-operating condition. In this system, fuel is fed from a shared
reservoir through a “common rail” to all of the cylinders. This allows high atomization of the fuel
in order to reduce PM emissions.
Unit injectors in HEUI systems are controlled hydraulically by a high-pressure oil pump. The
hydraulic system controls the rate of injection, and computer-controlled electronics control the
overall amount of fuel that is injected into the cylinder. Consequently, the speed or period of acam lobe does not limit the injection process.
2.3 Electronic Fuel Injection:
In older diesel engines, the timing and amount of fuel injected into the cylinder were
determined by mechanical operations, higher loads caused injection of greater amount of fuel,
some of which was not completely burned and led to emission of soot. Advances in electronic
fuel injection have enabled to design engines that independently and precisely control the timing
of the fuel injection with respect to the piston position, and the amount of fuel injected into the
cylinder. Electronic sensors monitor the vehicle’s actions and engine performance (such as
exhaust temperature or combustion completeness), and adjust fuel injection parameters
accordingly to control both NOx and PM emissions.
One example of electronic injection control is so-called injection timing retard, where fuel is
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 10/28
injected later than normal, lowering combustion temperature and reducing NOx emissions.
Injection timing retard, however, adversely affects fuel economy and PM emissions. Other
techniques, such as pilot injections or post-injections, are used to reduce emissions or “prime” the
exhaust with excess hydrocarbons for more effective after-treatment control.
2.4 Cylinder Modifications:
Modifications to the design of the cylinder that aid in the mixing of fuel and air reduce
both NOx and PM emissions. Examples of such modifications include changing the shape of the
combustion chamber and piston bowl, increasing the number of valves per cylinder, and
incorporating spiral-shaped intake ports to increase “air swirl.”
2.5 Turbocharger Advancements:
The function of turbochargers is to boost the engine output by compressing air entering
the cylinder. Physically, a turbine powered by the engine’s exhaust drives the compressor. By
squeezing more air into the chamber, turbochargers provide the engine with greater power, as the
additional air accommodates the addition of more fuel. Turbocharging improves performance
while reducing PM due to the additional air in the cylinder. However, it also increases the
temperature of the intake air, which, in addition to elevating NOx production, works against the
intended goal of increasing air density.
To address this issue, sophisticated systems have been developed that include, for example “air-
to-air charge cooling,” which cools the charged air with ambient air (rather than a water- based
system). Cost and complexity limit use of these systems. Another advanced turbocharger design,
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 11/28
variable geometry turbines (VGT), separates the power of the turbine from the force of engine
exhaust so that the turbocharger can be optimized in a variety of operating conditions.
2.6 Exhaust Gas Recirculation:
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is the technique of redirecting a portion of the exhaust
gas back into the engine cylinder to dilute the combustible gas and reduce the peak flame
temperature. Like other temperature-reduction techniques, this reduces NOx emissions but tends
to increase PM emissions. EGR is common in today’s vehicles. However, advances in EGR, such
as electronically controlled EGR or cooled EGR (where the exhaust gas is first cooled), are being
developed, though these advances add cost and complexity.
3.0 STUDY OF THE 1.9 LITRE TDI ENGINE WITH PUMP
INJECTION SYSTEM
The TDI engine, compared with previous diesels from Volkswagen and others, offers the
following benefits-
Fuel injection system with electronic control means more power, less smoke, less noise, and
even better fuel consumption. Both injection timing and quantity are electronically controlled on
all Volkswagen TDI engines. Previous Volkswagen diesels have used mechanical regulation of
the fuel injection system. The "cold start" handle for older VW diesels has been eliminated, and
the function that it served is now handled automatically by the engine controller.
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 12/28
Developments in turbocharger technology have culminated in the Garret VNT15 variable-
geometry turbocharger on the latest 4-cylinder TDI models. This design gives faster response
(less "lag"), and is capable of delivering boost starting at a lower engine speed and extending to a
higher engine speed with less back-pressure of the exhaust flow. Turbo lag with the VW TDI
engine is on the order of 0.25 second, which is not noticeable to the driver.
Electronically controlled emission control systems, including EGR (exhaust gas recirculation),
reduce emissions of NOx. Higher injection pressures and developments of fuel injector design
lead to less noise and lower exhaust emissions. Two-stage injector nozzles are used, to give a
gradual pressure rise and minimize the diesel “knocking” sound.
The open-type combustion chamber has less heat loss than the older prechamber design. As a
result, there is no need for glow plug operation at coolant temperatures above 9 degrees C, so
starting can be immediate. In addition, there is no need for an engine block heater, which was an
essential option for anyone with an older-design diesel in a cold climate. Updated glow plug
design compared to prevous models reduces the glow plug period to about 10 seconds even at
-10 degress C. The open combustion chamber allows the use of a lower compression ratio
(18.5:1 or 19.5:1 depending on model, compared to about 22:1 or 23:1 on older designs) This
reduces noise and vibration, and increases engine durability since the maximum pressure in the
combustion chamber is reduced
3.1 Development of the engine:
In association with Bosch, Volkswagen has succeeded in developing a diesel engine with
a solenoid valve controlled pump injection system suitable for use in passenger cars. The 1.9-
liter TDI engine with the new pump injection system meets the stringent demands for improved
performance and cleaner emissions.
The new 100 bhp (74 kW) 1.9-liter TDI engine with pump injection system was developed from
the existing 109 bhp (81kW) 1.9-liter TDI engine with a distributor injection pump and no
intermediate shaft.
A diesel engine with the pump injection system has the following advantages over an engine
with a distributor injection pump:

3.3 Distributor
Pipe:
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 15/28
A distributor pipe is integrated in the fuel supply line in the cylinder head. It distributes
the fuel evenly to the pump/injectors at a uniform temperature. In the supply line, the fuel moves
through the center of the distributor pipe toward cylinder 1at the far end. The fuel also moves
through the cross holes in the distributor pipe and enters the annular gap between the distributor
pipe and the cylinder head wall. This fuel mixes with the hot unused fuel that has been forced
back into the supply line by the pump/injectors. This results in a uniform temperature of the fuel
in the supply line running to all cylinders. All pump/injectors are supplied with the same fuel
mass, and the engine runs smoothly. The high pressure generated by the pump/ injectors heats up
the unused fuel so much that it must be cooled before it gets back to the fuel tank. A fuel cooler
is located on the fuel filter. It cools the returning fuel and thus prevents excessively hot fuel from
entering the fuel tank and possibly damaging the Sender for Fuel Gauge.
3.4 Pump/Injectors:
A pump/injector is a pressure-generating pump combined with a solenoid valve control
unit. Each cylinder of the engine has its own pump/injector. Thus there is no need for a high-
pressure line or a distributor injection pump.
Just like a conventional system with a distributor injection pump and separate injectors, the new
pump injection system:
• Generates the high injection pressures required.
• Inject fuel into the cylinders in the correct quantity and at the correct point in time.

Heart of the TDI engine- THE PUMP INJECTION SYSTEM
3.5
Drive Mechanism:
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 17/28
The camshaft has four additional cams for driving the pump/injectors. They activate the
pump/injector pump pistons with roller-type rocker arms. The injection cam has a steep leading
edge and a gradual slope to the trailing edge. As a result of the steep leading edge, the pump
piston is pushed down at high velocity. A high injection pressure is attained quickly. The gradual
slope of the cam trailing edge allows the pump piston to move up relatively slowly and evenly.
Fuel flows into the pump/injector high-pressure chamber free of air bubbles.
3.6 Injection Cycle:
3.6.1 High-Pressure Chamber Fills-
During the filling phase, the pump piston moves upward under the force of the piston spring and
thus increases the volume of the high-pressure chamber. The pump/injector solenoid valve is not
activated. The path is open from the fuel supply line to the high-pressure chamber. The fuel
pressure in the supply line causes the fuel to flow into the high-pressure chamber.
3.6.2 Pre-Injection Phase Starts-
The injection cam pushes the pump piston down via the roller-type rocker arm. This displaces
some of the fuel from the high-pressure chamber back into the fuel supply line. The Diesel
Direct Fuel Injection Engine Control Module J248 initiates the injection cycle by activating the
pump/injector solenoid valve. The solenoid valve needle is pressed into the valve seat and closes
the path from the high-pressure chamber to the fuel supply line. This initiates a pressure build-up
in the high-pressure chamber. At 2,611 psi (180 bar), the pressure is greater than the force of the
injector spring. The injector needle is lifted from its seat and the pre-injection cycle starts.
Injector needle damping: During the pre-injection phase, the stroke of the injector needle is
dampened by a hydraulic cushion. As a result, it is possible to meter the injection quantity
exactly.
Function: In the first third of the total stroke, the injector needle is opened undamped. The pre-
injection quantity is injected into the combustion chamber. As soon as the damping piston
plunges into the bore in the injector housing, the fuel above the injector needle can only be
displaced into the injector spring chamber through a leakage gap. This creates a hydraulic
cushion which limits the injector needle stroke during the pre-injection phase.
3.6.3 Pre-Injection Phase Ends-
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 18/28
The pre-injection phase ends immediately after the injector needle opens. The rising pressure
causes the retraction piston to move downward, thus increasing the volume of the high-
pressure chamber. The pressure drops momentarily as a result, and the injector needle closes.
This ends the pre-injection phase. The downward movement of the retraction piston pre-loads the
injector spring to a greater extent. To re-open the injector needle during the subsequent main
injection phase, the fuel pressure must be greater than during the pre-injection phase.
3.6.4 Main Injection Phase Starts-
The pressure in the high-pressure chamber rises again shortly after the injector needle closes.
The pump/injector solenoid valve remains closed and the pump piston moves downward. At
approximately 4,351 psi (300 bar), the fuel pressure is greater than the force exerted by the pre-
loaded injector spring. The injector needle is again lifted from its seat and the main injection
quantity is injected. The pressure rises to between 27,121 psi (1,870 bar) and 27,846 psi (1,920
bar) as more fuel is displaced in the high-pressure chamber than can escape through the nozzle
holes. Maximum fuel pressure is achieved at maximum engine output. This occurs at a high
engine speed when a large quantity of fuel is being injected.
3.6.5 Main Injection Phase Ends-
The injection cycle ends when the Control Module J248 stops activating the pump/injector
solenoid valve. The solenoid valve spring opens the solenoid valve needle, and the fuel displaced
by the pump piston can enter the fuel supply line. The pressure drops. The injector needle closes
and the injector spring presses the bypass piston into its starting position. This ends the main
injection phase.
3.7 Pump/Injector Fuel Return:
The fuel return line in the pump/injector has the following functions:
• Cool the pump/injector by flushing fuel from the fuel supply line through the pump/injector
ducts into the fuel return line.
• Discharge leaking fuel at the pump piston.
• Separate vapor bubbles from the pump/injector fuel supply line through the restrictors in fuel
return line.
3.8 Engine cycle:
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 19/28
3.8.1 Pre-injection phase-
To soften the combustion process, a small amount of fuel is injected at low pressure before the
start of the main injection phase. This is the pre-injection phase. Combustion of this small
quantity of fuel causes the pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber to rise. This
leads to quick ignition of the main injection quantity, thus reducing the firing delay. The pre-
injection phase and the “injection interval” between the pre-injection and the main injection
phase produce a gradual rise in pressure within the combustion chamber, not a sudden pressure
buildup. The effects of this are low combustion noise levels and lower NOx emissions.
3.8.2 Main injection phase-
The key requirement for main injection phase is formation of a good mixture to burn the fuel
completely if possible. The high injection pressure finely atomizes the fuel so that fuel and air
can mix well with one another. Complete combustion reduces pollutant emissions and ensures
high engine efficiency.
3.8.3 End of injection-
At the end of the injection process, it is important that the injection pressure drops quickly and
the injector needle closes quickly. This prevents fuel at a low injection pressure and with a large
droplet diameter from entering the combustion chamber. Fuel does not combust completely
under such conditions, giving rise to higher pollutant emissions.
3.8.4 Injection curve-
The injection curve of the pump injection system largely matches the engine demands, with low
pressures during the pre-injection phase, followed by an “injection interval,” then a rise in
pressure during the main injection phase. The injection cycle ends abruptly.
3.9 Glow Plug System:
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 20/28
The glow plug system makes it easier to start engine at low outside temperatures. It is
activated by the Control Module J248 at coolant temperatures below 9°C. The glow process is
divided into two phases-
1) Glow Period - The glow plugs are activated when the ignition is switched on and outside
temperature is below 9°C. The Glow Plug Indicator Light K29 will light up. Once the glow plug
period has elapsed, the Light K29 will go out and the engine can be started.
2) Extended Glow Period- The extended glow period takes place whenever the engine is started,
regardless of whether or not it is preceded by a glow period. This reduces combustion noise,
improves idling quality and reduces hydrocarbon emission. The extended glow phase lasts no
more than four minutes and is interrupted when the engine speed rises above 2500 rpm.
3.10 Turbocharger:
The function of the turbocharger is to increase the amount of air which enters the engine,
thus allowing the power and torque to be increased tremendously compared to an engine without
a turbocharger. A turbine is located in the exhaust from the diesel engine, and converts the
pressure of the exhaust gases to mechanical work on a shaft. A compressor wheel is driven by
this shaft, and draws air from the air intake, compresses it, and pressurizes the intake manifold of
the diesel engine. The shaft of the turbine and compressor is mechanically independent of any
connection to the rest of the engine - it spins freely on its own. The bearing on this shaft islubricated by engine oil, fed by a separate oil line from the vicinity of the oil filter, and the oil
drains into the crankcase through a drain pipe. The oil also serves to cool the turbine; there is no
connection to the engine coolant. Wastegate is present, which allows some of the exhaust to
bypass the turbine when the set intake pressure is achieved.
To improve
performance TDI engine
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 21/28
variable-geometry Garret VNT15 turbocharger. There is no wastegate, and all of the engine
exhaust passes through the turbine all the time. When the engine is running slowly, a set of
vanes inside the turbine housing move, to direct the exhaust gases through the turbine at a
shallower angle but a higher speed; this causes the turbine to spin faster, so that the turbo
compressor can reach the design boost level sooner. As the engine runs faster and the amount of
exhaust gases increase, the boost level starts going up; this is detected by the engine controls
which act to move the vanes toward a more open angle. This allows less energy to be transmitted
to the turbine wheel, so the boost level is reduced. Compared with the previous design, this
arrangement allows the design boost level to be developed faster and at lower engine speeds, and
allows more efficient operation with reduced exhaust back pressure at higher engine speeds.
3.11 Intercooler:
Another component in a turbo setup is the intercooler. After intake air passes through the
turbo, it heats up partly because of higher pressure. The ideal gas law states that when all other
variables are constant, if pressure is increased, so will temperature. An intercooler acts more like
a heat sink. After absorbing heat, the intercooler releases the heat into the ambient air. An
intercooler is an air-to-air heat exchange device used on turbocharged engines to improve their
volumetric efficiency by increasing intake air charge density through nearly isobaric (constant
pressure) cooling. A decrease in air intake temperature provides a more dense intake charge to
the engine and allows more air and fuel to be combusted per engine cycle, increasing the output
of the engine.
In a TDI
engine hot
8/6/2019 Final Tdi Diesel 01
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-tdi-diesel-01 22/28
compressed air passes through a small heat exchanger known as the intercooler. When heat is
removed, the density of the air increases, thus increasing the amount (by mass) of air which is
drawn into the engine. The objective is to make the air going into the engine cylinders as dense
as possible (pressurized and cooled) to allow maximum power output. From the intercooler, the
pressurized and cooled air goes to the intake manifold where it is mixed with a proportion of
exhaust from the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system for emission control purposes. This
mixture then goes into the engine cylinders.
3.12 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR):
EGR system takes in gas at the exhaust manifold, sends it through a diverter valve, then
the EGR cooler, then through the EGR/diverter valve into the intake manifold. The purpose of
the EGR system is to reduce emissions. By mixing exhaust air back into the engine, it lowers
peak combustion temperatures under partial load and reduces NOx emissions anywhere from
50%-75%. The reason why putting exhaust gas (hotter than ambient air) into the intake stream
reduces NOx is because the free oxygen would otherwise turn into NOx.
The system is regulated by the car's computer to open or close to varying degrees depending on
load and other factors. At light load or idle, up to 30% of the intake air flow can be exhaust. At
heavier loads, the EGR valve begins to close and at a certain point, the car's computer closes the
EGR valve completely. The EGR system is connected on the high-pressure side of both theexhaust and intake systems. In TDI engines the EGR actually opens all the way during a
particulate filter regeneration cycle. In theory, it lowers temperatures at lighter loads when there
is less fueling and lower cylinder temperatures. At heavy loads with more fueling and higher
temperatures, the EGR system is closed so it does not reduce peak power at all. A side benefit of
an EGR cooler is faster engine warm up because the hot exhaust gasses give their heat to the
coolant.

information to the EDC 16 and it accordingly controls the engine mechanisms.

diesel with an automatic, sequential direct manual gearbox. The crankcase and cylinder head of
the 0.3 litre engine were made of aluminium with a monoblock construction. In principle, the
one-cylinder SDI is not a derivation of a familiar engine, but a technologically highly
sophisticated new development. The aspiration diesel direct injection engine has an output of 6.3
kW at 4,000 rpm and helps the car weighing only 290 kg to a maximum speed of 120 km/h/75
mph. The pump-nozzle high-pressure injection with a six-hole nozzle and pre-injection supplies
working pressures of over 2,000 bar/29,400 PSI.

4.2 BlueMotionTechnology:
BlueMotion: This is the name for the most economical Volkswagen model in its class. A
remarkably low fuel consumption is achieved as a result of intelligent engine management,
optimized aerodynamics, tyres with optimal rolling resistance and longer gear ratio. All
BlueMotion models will come with the start-stop system and recuperation in the future
BLUE TDI: The high-performance diesel technology TDI is one of Volkswagen’s core
competencies. Blue TDI is a new concept that makes this technology even cleaner: exhaust
treatment reduces nitrogen oxides produced by up to 90 percent, making the Passat Blue TDI the
most environmentally-friendly diesel in its class. This concept brand already meets the Euro 6
emissions standard, which does not become obligatory until 2014.
4.3 Volkswagen TDI Common Rail Technology
VW diesel engines use one pump assembly per cylinder which relies on complex
electromechanical and electro hydraulic means to control the volume and timing of fuel
injection. Particulate filters which cut emissions, can be fitted to common-rail diesel-powered
vehicles, but they cannot be fitted to unit-injection diesel vehicles.
The reason, is the common-rail technology and its ability to inject fuel during the post-
combustion phase. The small secondary burst of fuel allows the temperature of exhaust fumes to
rise, allowing for the filtration of emissions-causing particles. The big difference is that the VNT
actuator on the new engine is driven by an electric motor instead of a spring/vacuum.

The engine pressurizes diesel fuel to about 20,000-28,000psi in an "accumulator rail" which is
commonly shared by all of the fuel injectors. A 3 piston high pressure fuel pump pressurizes this
accumulator rail. A bleed valve on the rail controls fuel pressure because pressure is a measure
of restriction. Compared to a timing belt driven injection pump, common rail's major advantage
is consistent fuel pressure and fuel injection totally independent of cam timing or engine rpm. A
change from 8 valve to 16 valve cylinder heads and better fuel atomization from common rail
diesel injection (CRD) can let the cars achieve a cleaner burn compared to earlier cars. A major
reason for the change to common rail injection is to meet the ever improving emissions
standards.
5.0 CONCLUSION
TDI engines are economical and smooth with high levels of torque (pulling power) and
good energy efficiency. TDI engines offer refined power delivery from low engine speeds all the
way up the rev scale. They provide high torque levels over a wide rev range and a high
maximum output.
All of the new of Volkswagen TDI clean diesel models are warranted to run on a
biodiesel blend known as B5, which consists of 5 percent biodiesel and 95 percent petroleum
diesel. Thus they seem to be cheaper on running costs and at the same time protect environment.
TDI diesel engines are comparable to Hybrid Electric Vehicles upto some level. Hybrid electric
is an expensive and unproven technology compared to the simplicity of the TDI. On the plus side
for Hybrid Electric Vehicles is the fact that they do very well in stop-and-go urban traffic, while
TDI engines perform better on long trips and their mileage decreases in the city.
To sell a diesel cars in the United States, Volkswagen had to pass the toughest emissions
standard in the world—Tier 2 Bin 5. Common rail is a high-pressure fuel injection system. The
injection pressure is stored in a high-pressure fuel reservoir that supplies all fuel injectors. In this
system the generation of pressure and the fuel injection processes are separate. The advantage of
common rail is that fuel can be delivered at higher pressure, giving better mixing with air for a
more efficient and cleaner combustion. Most Bluemotion vehicles control NOx emissions—one

of the biggest environmental hurdles facing diesels, along with particulate matter—by injecting a
urea-based solution into the exhaust system upstream from the catalytic converter, where NOx is
then converted into nitrogen and water. The new TDI Common Rail will instead use a NOx-
storage catalyst, which is basically a reservoir that temporarily holds the noxious emissions, like
a particulate filter, until they can be burned off during one of the engine cycles. To conclude, it
seems that TDI engines have always been ahead in terms of performance and fuel consumption
compared to the CRDI engines. However to meet the stricter emission norms the TDI engines
fall short, which are fulfilled by the CRDI engines. The best option to achieve optimal of the two
engine technologies was to combine them, which leads us to the Common Rail TDI engines. So
we can now achieve greater fuel efficiency along with meeting the highest emission standards.
