Common rail system
A common rail system includes a first common rail, a second common rail, and a control unit. The first common rail is connected to a fuel pump through a fuel feed line and is provided with a first pressure regulating valve and a first pressure sensor. The second common rail is connected to the first common rail through a connecting line and is provided with a second pressure regulating valve and a second pressure sensor. The control unit controls operation of the fuel pump based on signals input from the first and second pressure sensors.
1. A common rail system, comprising:
a first common rail connected to a fuel pump through a fuel feed line and provided with a first pressure regulating valve and a first pressure sensor, the first pressure regulating valve being configured to regulate pressure of fuel in the first common rail, the first pressure sensor detecting pressure in the first common rail and outputting a corresponding signal;
a second common rail connected to the first common rail through a connecting line and provided with a second pressure regulating valve and a second pressure sensor, the second pressure regulating valve being configured to regulate pressure of fuel in the second common rail, the second pressure sensor detecting pressure in the second common rail and outputting a corresponding signal; and
a control unit controlling operation of the fuel pump based on signals input from the first and second pressure sensors, wherein a section of the connecting line has a cross section gradually decreases in area as the cross section approaches the second common rail.
2. The common rail system of claim 1 , wherein a size of the second common rail is less than that of the first common rail.
