    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for measuring pressure drop through a filter in the flow path and then using the measured pressure drop, possibly at a normalized state and in conjunction with time and/or other data from the system, to estimate characteristics of the fluid, the filter, and/or a working component supplied with the filtered fluid. Such characteristics could include an operating condition of the filter, the remaining useful life of the filter, the relative contaminant concentration in the fluid, and/or the remaining useful life of a working component supplied with the filtered fluid.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for adjusting a gear in a gear train assembly. A first gear with a first rotational center and a second gear with a second rotational center are coupled to an engine. A third gear with a third rotational center is provided to form a first mesh with the first gear. The first mesh has a predetermined minimum backlash. The third gear also forms a second mesh with the second gear. The third gear includes an adjustable positioning mechanism which allows the rotational center of the third gear to be adjusted along a predetermined adjustment path that is substantially tangent to the first mesh. The adjustment mechanism of the third gear allows the minimum backlash of the first mesh to be maintained while the second mesh is adjusted to likewise achieve a generally minimized backlash.

    摘要: In an internal combustion engine, a barring adapter member is mounted on an auxiliary engine component, such as an air compressor shaft which is geared to the engine crankshaft. The barring adapter member is configured to receive a barring tool, permitting manual rotation of the air compressor shaft for desirably positioning engine crankshaft-driven components during engine repair or adjustment. In an arrangement according to the invention, the air compressor gear is enclosed by a gear casing, but the adapter is accessible through an aperture closeable by a removable cap. The barring adapter member facilitates barring the engine from a convenient position and is particularly advantageous in an engine designed to eliminate most externally-exposed rotational shaft seals and associated external pulleys conventionally used as barring locations.

    摘要: A sliding friction- and wear-resistant elephant's foot or swivel pad adjusting screw assembly for contacting an actuating member interface in an internal combustion engine is provided to transmit arcuate motion into reciprocal motion. The assembly includes a metal screw element configured to move along an arcuate path in a correspondingly configured socket in a ceramic pad element. A retainer element secures the pad element to the screw element loosely to allow this relative motion. The ceramic pad element includes a planar contact face for contacting a corresponding planar contact surface on an internal combustion engine actuating member, such as a valve, a valve crosshead or a unit fuel injector.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to open nozzle type unit fuel injectors, and more specifically to an improved lower plunger and cup design of an open nozzle unit injector to minimize trapped volume and reduce unburned hydrocarbons in vehicle emissions. The lower plunger includes at least a major and a minor diameter sections with the minor diameter section extending within a bore of said cup at least partially between the fully advanced and retracted positions of the plunger. Moreover, the labyrinth flow area between the cup bore and the minor diameter section of the plunger is designed to reduce the trapped volume of fuel that results in the advanced plunger position while reducing sensitivity to fuel metering in the retracted plunger position. In one embodiment, the cup bore and minor diameter section are stepped. In another, both the bore and the minor diameter section are tapered. In yet another embodiment, only the cup bore is modified.

    摘要: A fuel supply system and method of controlling fuel flow through a supply system is provided including a variable flow, i.e. speed, electric fuel transfer pump and a control system adapted to variably control the transfer pump based on fuel demand of the engine. The system provides improved transient response by providing the transfer pump with a feed forward speed/flow command based on engine fueling demand determined based on engine operating conditions. The transfer pump is controlled based on fuel demand not necessarily achieved yet by the high pressure pump and injectors. Therefore, this system controls the EFTP substantially simultaneously with controlling the high pressure pump and injectors to optimize fuel flow through the entire system ensuring the minimum required fuel flow is passing through the second the fuel filtration system, hence maximizing steady state fuel filtration efficiency, and minimizing surge effects on filtration efficiency.

    摘要: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for enhancing the filtration of small particles from liquid stream. The apparatus includes a fuel filter bank having with at least one fuel filter. The fuel filter bank is mounted on a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket couples to an internal combustion engine with a plurality of vibration dampeners. The engine may have a high pressure common rail fuel system. The vibration dampeners vibrationally isolate the fuel filter bank from the internal combustion engine, reducing the particle slip and degradation of the fuel filter bank.
