Question 19 UFIV01 - Chief Engineer - UFIV

The Correct Answer is D **Explanation for why Option D (Unit injector type system) is correct:** The Unit Injector (UI) system, sometimes called the Pump-Nozzle system, integrates the high-pressure fuel pump and the injector into a single assembly located directly in the cylinder head. In this design, the fuel is supplied to the unit injector at low pressure (the supply or transfer pressure). The extremely high pressures necessary for injection are generated *within* the unit itself, immediately before the nozzle. Because the high pressure is created right at the point of injection, there is no need for high-pressure fuel lines running from a separate high-pressure pump (like an injection pump or a rail) to the injector. Therefore, the system is characterized by a complete absence of high-pressure fuel lines. **Explanation for why the other options are incorrect:** * **A) Rotary plunger type system:** This system (e.g., a distributor pump system) uses a single pumping element that pressurizes and distributes the fuel to all cylinders. It requires **high-pressure lines** running from the outlet ports of the rotary pump to each individual nozzle holder/injector in the engine. * **B) Common rail type system:** This system is defined by its use of a high-pressure pump that feeds a rigid, shared reservoir (the "common rail"). This common rail stores fuel at constant, extremely high pressure. **High-pressure lines** must run from the common rail to each individual injector to deliver the pressurized fuel. * **C) In-line multi-plunger type system:** This traditional mechanical injection pump system features a separate high-pressure pumping element (plunger/barrel assembly) for each engine cylinder. It requires **high-pressure lines** to transport the pressurized fuel from the outlet fitting of each pumping element to its corresponding injector in the cylinder head.
