 The QSK19 Fuel System

The QSK19 fuel system is the newest in fuel technology from Cummins. The QSK19 fuel system
offers infinitely variable injection timing using a simple, efficient design, with injection pressures
beyond any current Cummins fuel system
Applications

Currently, the QSK19 fuel system is

being used on the New QUANTUM
System K19 (QSK19) engine which is
intended for heavy-duty industrial
applications. In the future, Cummins will
bring the efficiency of the QSK19 fuel
system to other engine platforms as well.
Applications

The QSK19 fuel system

features a mechanically
actuated, open nozzle
type injector.
 Applications

and using the latest

generation of Cummins
electronic controls, provides
precise fuel management and
infinitely variable injection
timing.
 The QSK19 Fuel System Components

The QSK19 fuel system can be divided into:

• Hydro-mechanical components
• Electronic control system components
 Hydro-mechanical components

Let's start by looking at the hydro-mechanical components.

Hydro-mechanical components

This schematic provides an overview of the

hydro-mechanical system of the QSK19 fuel
system.
1. Fuel filter head and fuel filter element
2. Fuel pump
3. Fuel control valve assembly
4. Fuel manifolds
5. QSK19 injector
6. Fuel cooler
 Fuel filters

Fuel flow from the supply tank is directed

to the dual fuel filter head. The fuel filters
have water separators and elements that
filter down to 10 microns. Water separator
elements are mandatory as the actuators
in the control valve body are sensitive to
water. The maximum inlet restriction at
the filters is 4 inHg with a clean filter and
8 inHg with a dirty filter
Fuel pump components

From the filters, fuel flow is directed to the

inlet of the gear pump. The fuel pump is a
version of the current PT fuel pump
family.The gear pump generates the system
flow and pressure. The fuel inlet is on the side
of the gear pump housing.
Control valve assembly

The core of the QSK19 fuel system is the

control valve assembly. Fuel flow produced
by the pump is delivered to the control valve
assembly. The assembly consists of a shut
down solenoid valve, two fuel actuator valves,
and two fuel pressure sensors. The ECM
mounts on the front of the assembly housing.
