Let’s get started.
Hydraulically Actuated Electronic Unit Injectors The injector plungers are no longer actuated by a cam. The computer is now in control of timing and metering, through control of the injector, and injected fuel pressure, through control of the injection pressure regulator. By having high injection pressures throughout the RPM band, HC emissions are reduced as the injected droplet size is smaller.

500 to 4000 psi of oil pressure 40 to 60 psi of fuel pressure
The Caterpillar HEUI System
Low pressure engine oil enters here. High pressure engine oil to manifold Plunger fuel supply pump Injection Pressure Regulator Low pressure oil return to sump
Stand pipe prevents siphoning of oil back to sump on shutdown High pressure relief 4500 psi 7 piston axial piston pump with fixed swash plate
Cat ET Actuation Pressure Test
Solenoid de-energized High pressure oil inlet is closed Drain to top of cylinder head is open Plunger and intensifier piston move up Charge fuel enters at 40 to 60 psi
Solenoid is energized by ECM. The length of time controls the volume of fuel metered Drain is closed High pressure oil inlet is open Intensifier Piston and plunger are pushed down As the surface area of the intensifier piston is 6 times that of the plunger, fuel pressure is 6 times the high pressure oil Needle valve opens at 5000 psi
