Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0896144A2] A fuel injection control apparatus for an accumulator type engine (1) efficiently reduces fuel pressure in an accumulator pipe (4) if the fuel pressure exceeds a target pressure, thereby ensuring stable combustion. Injectors (2) of a diesel engine (1) are connected to a common rail (4) provided commonly for all the cylinders (#1-#4) of the engine. The common rail (4) is connected to a supply pump (6) by a supply pipe (5). Each injector (2) has a mechanism that injects fuel into the corresponding one of the cylinders (#1-#4) when an electromagnetic valve (3) provided in the injector (2) is driven, and that releases fuel to reduce the fuel pressure in the common rail (4) during an early period (ineffective injection time) after the start of the driving of the electromagnetic valve (3). An electronic control unit (51) executes an ineffective injection control during the ineffective injection control time to reduce the fuel pressure in the common rail (4), if the target injection amount is "0" and the actual fuel pressure is greater than the target fuel pressure. The ineffective injection control time is set to greater values as the fuel temperature decreases. <IMAGE>
