Pressure sensors for rails. The Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor (RPS), which is installed in the fuel rail close to the injectors, is used on Common Rail Diesel and Direct Injection Petrol applications to provide the pressure reading in the fuel rail to the vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The position of the actuator used to control the rail pressure is referred to as the system input and the rail pressure is referred to as the system output in control terminology.
There are several methods for regulating the pressure in the common rail. The gasoline rail’s centre contains a rail pressure sensor that is connected to the vehicle’s main computer.
To locate the fuel injectors, open the hood and look near the intake manifold at the head of the engine.
The Global Rail pressure sensor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The common-rail system gets its name from the high-pressure rail, which also serves as the main hydraulic link between the pump and injectors.
It supplies the injectors with the compressed fuel that is stored there. Independent of the system configuration, a rail pressure sensor and an additional pressure control valve or pressure limiting valve are always installed as rail-assembled components on the high-pressure rail.
The rail is made up of a forged steel tube into which the pressure control valve (PCV) and rail pressure sensor (RPS) are screwed. The rail contains one or two fuel lines that can be connected to the high-pressure pump, regardless of the high-pressure pump that is being used. Additional high-pressure connectors for the fuel lines leading to the injector are present in accordance with the number of cylinders.
The low-pressure connection is used to transfer the PCV-controlled fuel back to the tank. The main hydraulic component that connects the pump and injectors is the high-pressure rail. It keeps the compressed gasoline in storage and delivers it to the injectors. As a result of the injection procedure, pressure pulses develop in the high-pressure rail.
These are minimised by the volume of stored high pressure. This improves injection quantity accuracy, which significantly aids in cutting emissions and consumption.
