CRDI (Explained In Very Simple Words)

CRDI - Common Rail Direct Injection (Hyundai)

CRDI means a common rail direct injection system. It is a type of fuel delivery system used in most cars and vehicles. In this system, fuel is taken out and delivered into the engine's combustion chamber. CRDI is the name used by Hyundai and other brands that call the same system different names. Like, DICOR, CRDE, and DDIS, the three are the same but are used by various companies like TATA, Mahindra, and Maruti.

What is CRDI?

CRDI is the most advanced form of fuel delivery system which is fully automatic and controlled by ECU. And here, ECU works on the data provided by the actuators and sensors. This system is mostly used by Hyundai( a motor company). 

Is CRDI and MPFI the same?

No, both are different. CRDI is used in diesel engines whereas MPFI is used in petrol engines.

Parts/components used in the CRDI system

The main working components of the CRDI are:

  1. Fuel tank
  2. Fuel filter
  3. Pump
  4. Pressure Regulating Valve
  5. High-pressure Pump
  6. A common rail
  7. Injectors 
  8. ECU
  9. And Few sensors and Actuators.

Working of CRDI | How this system works?

The whole setup is operated electronically and automatically with the help of some sensors and actuators. It all starts from APS (acceleration pedal position sensor)

ECU Which is the electronic control unit of the engine finds the position of the acceleration pedal and allows the injectors to open for a particular time so the only required fuel can be delivered inside the cylinder.

The fuel travels from the tank via strainer, filter, pump, PRV value, high-pressure pump, common rail, and the injector to the cylinder.

As seen in the image It contains a common rail that is connected with different injectors. The high-pressure pump creates high pressure in the common rail which ranges from 1600-2200 bar. This high pressure helps the injectors to inject the fuel easily. And injectors are solenoid based which is opened and closed by the ECU. ECU calculates the duration of injection and opens the injectors only for the required time so that the only desired amount of fuel can be delivered inside the cylinder.

Advantages Of CRDI (Common Rail Direct Injection)

Here are some main advantages of CRDI.

  • Pre-Main and Post-injection timing.
  • Better utilization of fuel.
  • A high-pressure injection is achieved.
  • Better mileage and Pickup of vehicle.
  • CRDI also Lowers the pollution level of the vehicle.

Disadvantages of CRDI system

  • Higher manufacturing and maintenance costs.

Tachometer Odometer Speedometer | Instrument Cluster Tools Explained The tachometer , Odometer , and Speedometer are the main tools present in the instrument cluster panel in the vehicle dashboard. The tachometer shows us the RPM of the engine. The odometer is a reading show unit that says how much distance the vehicle has traveled till now. And Speedometer indicates the speed of the running vehicle. These are the main instrument cluster devices. Apart From this there any many others like, fuel gauge , engine temperature, and all signal lights, and indications that are present in the dashboard of the vehicle. In this article, I have covered everything detailed about essential devices like tachometer odometer, and speedometers. See the below image to get an idea of what an instrumental cluster panel looks like.  What is Tachometer? A Tachometer is also known as an  RPM (Rotation Per Minute) gauge.

What is Turbocharger? Turbo Lag, WasteGate Valve

What is Turbocharger? Turbo Lag, WasteGate Valve Getting a turbocharged vehicle is exciting but before you start the first thing that comes into your mind. In this article, I have shared the topics like What is Turbocharger , Turbo Lag , WasteGate Valve , and many other short questions and doubts related to the turbocharger. What is Turbocharger? How Does it Work? A turbocharger is a forced induction device which added to the engine to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine. It is powered by the flow of exhaust gases coming out of the engine. It does not require any additional power or battery to run.  It compresses the intake air and forces more air into the intake manifold. Compressed air is cooled down with the help of an intercooler before sending it to the engine intake. Which helps to produce more power. A turbocharger helps to reduce emissions at high RPM. It is also known as a high-altitude compensation kit. Turbocharger Construction The design of the turbochar...
