    摘要: A fuel delivery system for a vehicle having an engine includes a fuel injection system, a fuel supply line configured to supply fuel from to the fuel injection system, and a fuel pressure sensor. An active expansion chamber (AEC) accumulator is fluidly coupled to the fuel supply line and includes a housing defining an interior chamber and an adjustable expansion chamber, a plunger assembly separating the interior chamber and the adjustable expansion chamber, and an actuator configured to selectively move the plunger assembly to actively adjust a volume of the adjustable expansion chamber. A controller is configured to detect a pressure change condition in the fuel delivery system and, in response, automatically adjust the volume of the adjustable expansion chamber to maintain the pressure of the fuel delivery system below a predetermined threshold to thereby facilitate preventing fuel leakage at the fuel injectors when the engine is shut off.

    摘要: A port fuel injection system includes a fuel pump configured to produce a flow of pressurized liquid fuel at a pressure between 10 and 50 bar. A fuel rail is connected to receive the flow of pressurized liquid fuel from the fuel pump, the fuel rail. A plurality of fuel injectors, including one fuel injector positioned in the intake port of each engine cylinder upstream of the intake valve for the engine cylinder are connected to receive pressurized fuel from the fuel rail. An engine control unit (ECU) receives signals from sensors on the internal combustion engine and is programmed to actuate the fuel injectors to deliver fuel to each engine cylinder over a full range of engine operating conditions. A port fuel injection system with high pressure and fast acting fuel injectors improves fuel delivery and performance over the full range of engine operating conditions.
