Upcoming Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards are increasing efforts on injection system developments in order to improve mixture quality and combustion efficiency. The target features of advanced injection systems are related to their capability of operating multiple injection with a precise control of the amount of injected fuel, low cycle-by-cycle variability and life drift, within flexible strategies. In order to accomplish this task, injector performance must be optimised by acting on: optimisation of electronic, driving circuit, detailed investigation of different nozzle hole diameter configurations, assessment of the influence of manufacturing errors on hole diameter and inlet rounding on injector performance. The paper will focus on the use of an integrated lump-1D/3D methodology for the design of advanced new fast solenoid Common Rail (C.R.) injector for high speed diesel engines. A lump-model built up in AMESim® environment was used to address the injector design.
