CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIAL FEATURES OF
THE SOURCE AND RESERVE OF PRESSURE
High pressure pump: Fig. I
- Five-piston volumetric-type pump.
- The pump rotates at half engine speed
- Pump delivery per turn (for information) : 4 cm3
- Maximum pressure: Theoretically, there is no limit to the maximum pressure. In practice, the maximum pressure
is controlled by the pressure regulator. Priming the five-piston HP pump can only be carried out when the pressure-
release screw of the regulator is open.
