Better injection systems for diesel engines

One of the elements modern diesel engines require to become energy-efficient and clean are precisely controllable injection nozzles using piezo crystals. How exactly these crystals work has not been fully understood to date. A group of researchers from Leoben has now managed to make this technology more reliable and efficient. Their results are also of […] Continue reading “Better injection systems for diesel engines”
