i-ART SYSTEM |
By incorporating a pressure sensor into the injector, any changes in the internal pressure of the injectors can be confirmed at a point close to where fuel is injected.
The i-ART injector directly detects its internal fuel pressure and fuel temperature.
The ECM receives the pressure waveform signal from the pressure sensor and detects the fuel injection volume to perform so that the fuel injection volume matches the target.
Due to this system, the fuel injection precision even in the smallest amount has been improved and precise control of multilevel injection (three-stage pilot injection) has been made possible. In turn, combustion is more stable and the noise made during combustion has reduced.
The i-ART injectors automatically perform learning when they are replaced. Therefore, injector compensation code registration and pilot quantity learning is not necessary. Learning is performed while the engine is running.

COMMON RAIL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |
Common rail system:
The common rail system uses high-pressure fuel for improved fuel economy. This system also provides robust engine power while suppressing engine vibration and noise.
This system stores fuel in the common rail, which has been pressurized and supplied by the fuel supply pump assembly. By storing fuel at high-pressure, the common rail system can provide fuel at stable fuel injection pressures, regardless of engine speed or engine load.
The ECM, using the injector driver, provides an electric current to the piezo actuator in each injector to regulate the fuel injection timing and volume. The ECM also monitors the internal fuel pressure of the common rail using the fuel pressure sensor built into each injector. The ECM causes the fuel supply pump assembly to supply the fuel necessary to obtain the target fuel pressure.
In addition, this system uses a piezo actuator inside each injector to open and close the fuel passages. Therefore, both fuel injection time and fuel injection volume can be precisely regulated by the ECM.
The common rail system allows for a two stage fuel injection process. In order to soften combustion shock, this system performs "pilot-injection" prior to the main fuel injection. This helps to reduce engine vibration and noise.Text in Illustration *1 Common Rail Assembly *2 Pressure Discharge Valve *3 Fuel Supply Pump Assembly *4 Suction Control Valve *5 Injector Driver *6 ECM *7 Injector Assembly *8 Fuel Cooler *9 Fuel Filter *10 Fuel Filter (w/ Secondary Fuel Filter) *11 Fuel Tank *12 Fuel Check Valve High Pressure Fuel Line Return Fuel Line Suction Fuel Line - - - HINT:

INJECTION CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |
The ECM determines the injection volume and injection timing based on signals from the accelerator pedal position sensor, crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. Based on the signals from the ECM, the injector driver controls the injectors. The injector driver also controls the suction control valve installed on the fuel supply pump assembly to help regulate fuel pressure.
The piezo type injector used in the 1KD-FTV engine makes noise when the engine is idling because this injector operates at high speed. Therefore, the injector driver controls the injector to operate at low speed when the engine is idling based on signals from the ECM to achieve noise reduction.
The feed pump is used to pump fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel supply pump assembly.

FUEL SUPPLY PUMP OPERATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |

SUCTION CONTROL VALVE OPERATION SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |
- HINT:
- The ECM controls the suction control valve operation to regulate the fuel volume that is produced by the fuel supply pump assembly for the common rail assembly. This control is performed to regulate the internal fuel pressure of the common rail to the target injection pressure.
Small opening of the suction control valve:
When the opening of the suction control valve is small, the volume of supplied fuel is small.
The suction volume becomes small due to the narrow path despite the plunger stroke being full. The difference between the geometrical volume and suction volume creates a vacuum.
Pump output will start when the fuel pressure at (A) becomes higher than the common rail pressure (B).
Large opening of the suction control valve:
When the opening of the suction control valve is large, the volume of supplied fuel is large.
If the plunger stroke is full, the suction volume becomes large because of the wide path.
Pump output will start when the fuel pressure at (A) becomes higher than the common rail pressure (B).
