Detroit Diesel Series 60 Fuel Injector (05237099)
Application: Used in Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines, which were commonly found in heavy-duty trucks, buses, and industrial applications.
Function: Delivers precise amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber at high pressure for efficient engine performance.
Compatibility:
The Detroit Diesel Series 60 fuel injector (Part #05237099) is a critical component in the fuel injection system of the Series 60 engine, a heavy-duty diesel engine widely used in commercial trucks, buses, and industrial applications. Below is a breakdown of its structure and application scenarios:
Structure of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 Fuel Injector (05237099)
The fuel injector is a precision-engineered electromechanical (or hydromechanical, depending on the variant) device that delivers atomized fuel into the combustion chamber. Its key components include:
Nozzle Assembly
Contains a precision-machined tip with tiny orifices for fuel atomization.
Opens at high pressure (typically 3,000–5,000 psi in mechanical injectors, higher in electronic versions).
Injector Body
Solenoid (if electronically controlled)
Spring & Pressure Adjustment Mechanism
Fuel Inlet & Return Ports
O-Rings & Seals
Application Scenarios
The Series 60 fuel injector (05237099) is used in heavy-duty diesel engines in the following applications:
1. Commercial Trucking (Long-Haul & Vocational)
Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Volvo, Mack trucks with Series 60 engines.
Ensures fuel efficiency, power, and emissions compliance (especially in pre-2007 engines before ultra-strict EPA standards).
2. Public Transportation (Buses)
Used in transit buses (e.g., MCI, Gillig, Nova Bus) with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines.
Provides smooth operation and reliability for stop-and-go driving.
3. Industrial & Marine Applications
Found in generator sets, construction equipment, and marine propulsion.
Must withstand continuous high-load operation.
4. Military & Emergency Vehicles
