Experimental Analysis of Diesel Engine Performance Using the Intelligent Common Rail CR/EDC15 Injection System
Modern diesel engines are increasingly equipped with intelligent electronic control systems aimed at improving engine performance, optimizing fuel consumption, and reducing exhaust gas emissions. This paper analyses the “Common Rail Diesel Injection System – CR/EDC15” controlled by the Bosch EDC15 electronic control unit. The research was conducted using the AutoEDU laboratory platform installed in the Automotive Mechatronics Laboratory at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The platform enables real-time monitoring of engine operating parameters, OBDII diagnostics, and analysis of intelligent sensors and actuators used in modern diesel engines. The study investigates the influence of the electronic control system on fuel injection optimization, acceleration response improvement, combustion efficiency, and emission reduction. The obtained results show that the CR/EDC15 system provides higher engine performance, improved operational stability, lower fuel consumption, and reduced environmental pollution compared to conventional mechanical injection systems.
