Possible applications The MCRS with CP9.1 high-pressure pump is the first fully-modular Common Rail System for operation in large off-highway diesel engines. Typical applications for large high-speed diesel engines include, for instance, yachts, fast ferries and service craft with engine power up to 2.2 MW. In order to guarantee reliable operation even with fuels of low lubricity, high-pressure pumps and injectors are designed to be particularly robust. Operating principle The MCRS-specific fuel-storage volume in the highpressure pump and the injectors minimizes hydraulic

pulsation in the high-pressure system. This makes it easy to design a modular system for requirements ranging from a 4-cylinder in-line engine to a 20-cylinder V-engine. The fuel accumulator in the injector also ensures a nearly constant pressure even during injection and maximum flexibility for multiple injections. For reasons of robustness, the MCRS of the second generation is equipped with a ball valve which increases the injectors robustness with the fuel qualities available in the markets. For mediumspeed diesel engines, one of the changes to the

Bosch is the only company worldwide to offer diesel injection equipment for applications ranging from the smallest passenger-car engines right up to the largest medium-speed heavy-fuel-oil engines. Bosch offers injection equipment for large diesel engines in all regions and to a large number of well-known customers. Large diesel engines are all off-highway engines with a rated power of over 560 kW. High-speed engines with a displacement of more than 2.5 liters per cylinder are equipped with the Modular Common Rail System (MCRS) developed in Hallein. This system features a wide range of possible applications and offers all the benefits of Common Rail injection.

MCRS platform is the addition of larger solenoid valves and nozzles. The MCRS opens potentials for the development of fuel-efficient engines. This leads to a significant competitive advantage for our customers. Further increasing pressure to 2,200 bar enables engine manufacturers to react even more flexible to upcoming requirements regarding optimiziation of emissions and fuel consumption.

System design 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 oillubricated CP9.1 high-pressure inline pump generates the high pressure. It can be used with two to five cylinders and integrated high-pressure accumulator, pressure sensor and pressure safety valve depending on the performance requirements. The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber with CRIN-LE-type injectors. These are each equipped with their own high-pressure accumulator, safety flow limiter and solenoid valve for multiple injection. Our

CRIN-LE was developed for typical large-diesel appli cations. Because the injectors are connected with one another using short high-pressure lines (also doublewalled), the MCRS is particularly versatile. Its special design incorporating high-pressure accumulators

in pump and injector plus short high-pressure lines minimizes pressure pulsation. This guarantees constant injection pressure at the nozzle. The Bosch EDC17 CV41 electronic engine control unit is suitable for installation close to the engine.

Modular system The system can easily be adapted to suit engines with different numbers of cylinders as it does not require a rail. The number of injectors and pump elements varies correspondingly. Outlook In order to fulfill future emission targets, Bosch is engaged in the further development of the existing Common Rail platforms for large diesel engines with a pressure increase to 2,200 bar.
