In recent years, since the demands for comfortable operation and low fuel consumption are increasingly enhanced on the industrial machines, non-road engines as power sources on agriculture, landscape and construction applications are required to be achieved high power, low fuel consumption and low noise. Also, even for small engines, it is necessary to keep up with the trend of electronic control devices on these machines. Based on such backgrounds, we developed new non-road direct injection diesel engines with common rail system to satisfy those demands. This paper reviews the technologies to achieve the adoption of common rail system onto such small displacement industrial engines and to optimize the combustion system and injection characteristics.

The simulation techniques play important role on contemporary engine design. In this study, computer fluid dynamics approach (CFD) was focused to design the intake and combustion system of the direct injection diesel engine for versatile use. A practicality was stressed as much as an accuracy to correspond to designer and researcher's requirements, such as close relationship to the engine performance and short period of computation. The correlation of the trapping efficiency and the swirl ratio was mainly focused. A steady flow rig tests and engine operation data were combined to improve their quality mutually.
