Bosch offers injection equipment for large diesel
engines in all regions and to many well-known custom-
ers. Large diesel engines are usually defined by a rated
power larger than 560 kW.

Large diesel engines with a displacement of more than

2.5 liters per cylinder can be equipped with a Modular
Common Rail System (MCRS). This system features a
wide range of possible applications and offers all
benefits of Common Rai injection technology.

The Bosch MCRS is a Common Rail System in modular
design for large diesel engines which does not require
a separate rail. The electronically controlled and
oil-lubricated CP9.1-type high-pressure inline pump
generates high pressure. Depending on the perfor-
mance requirements, one or two pumps with integrat-
used.
The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber by a
CRIN-LE-type injector. Each injector is equipped with
a high-pressure accumulator, a safety flow limiter and
a solenoid valve. The injectors are connected one to
another using short high-pressure lines (also double-
walled), therefore MCRS is particularly flexible. Its
special design incorporating high-pressure accumula-
tors inside the pump and inside the injector plus short
high-pressure lines minimizes pressure pulsations. This
secures constant injection pressure at the nozzle, even
for multiple injections.

The Bosch EDC17CV41 electronic control unit is

suitable for installation close to the engine.

types on the basis of a modular system: the number
and size of injectors and pump elements is varied
accordingly.
