Abstract:
Provided is a configuration which prevents an engine from being unable to start in the state in which dew condensation occurred in a fuel injection pump and froze. The present invention relates to a fuel injection pump which is provided with a pump body and a hydraulic head and driven by an engine, and is characterized in that while the engine is in operation, the temperature of the hydraulic head is increased to a dew-point temperature or higher. Consequently, it is possible to increase the temperature of the hydraulic head and remove water in the fuel injection pump while the engine is in operation. Accordingly, the engine can be prevented from being unable to start in the state that dew condensation occurred in the fuel injection pump and froze.
Abstract:
A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes an electric fuel pump; a conduit which defines a flow path through which fuel flows from the electric fuel pump to the internal combustion engine; a fuel pump control module with electronics which drive the electric fuel pump, the fuel pump control module being disposed within a compartment defined by a wall; and a heat sink in thermal contact with the fuel pump control module and extending out of the compartment through an aperture of the wall and into the flow path such that the heat sink is sealed to the wall, thereby preventing fluid communication through the aperture.
Abstract:
A plug-in pump for a common-rail system has a pump housing having a cylinder formed therein and a piston guided in the cylinder, a fuel inlet, and a fuel outlet. The pump housing also includes a plug-in section for inserting the pump housing into an opening of an engine component, and a flange that delimits the plug-in section, for fastening the pump housing to the engine component. To cool the plug-in pump, the pump housing has at least one flow duct with a separate fluid inlet and a separate fluid outlet. The fluid inlet is connectable to a fluid-discharging line of the internal combustion engine, and the fluid outlet is connectable to a fluid-receiving line of the internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
A fuel injection device is equipped with a fuel injection valve that is mounted in an engine body and injects fuel containing air bubbles, and void fraction adjustment means that changes a void fraction of the fuel that is to be injected from the fuel injection valve. The void ratio adjustment means increases the fuel pressure of the fuel to be injected from the fuel injection valve when an increase of the void fraction is requested. The void fraction adjustment means adjusts the void fraction of the fuel by changing temperature of the fuel to be injected from the fuel injection valve. By appropriately controlling the void fraction, both fuel atomization and securement of the net amount of fuel can be achieved.
Abstract:
In a fuel system of an internal combustion engine, a low-pressure delivery unit for the fuel, at least indirectly delivers fuel to at least one low-pressure injection device. The fuel system further provides a high-pressure delivery unit, which has a drive region and a delivery region and at least indirectly delivers fuel to at least one high-pressure injection device. According to the invention, the fuel is first delivered by the low-pressure delivery unit to the drive region of the high-pressure delivery unit and from there onward to the low-pressure injection device and/or to the delivery region of the high-pressure delivery unit.
Abstract:
A high-pressure fuel injection pump for pressurizing fuel and delivering it for injection into a internal combustion engine is provided. The high-pressure fuel injection pump has an inlet, at least one plunger and a suction channel positioned between the inlet and the at least one plunger, wherein at least a part of the suction channel is thermally insulated from the remaining part of the high-pressure fuel injection pump. A fuel injection system including such a high-pressure fuel injection pump is also provided. Alternatively to, or in combination with, the thermal insulation of the suction channel, a bleed valve can be connectively arranged at the suction channel of the high-pressure fuel injection pump.
Abstract:
A fuel flow measuring apparatus comprises a fuel conditioning cabinet, a fuel supply delivered through a fuel supply line, a fuel measurement cabinet, a fuel transfer line to transfer fuel from the fuel conditioning cabinet to the fuel measurement cabinet, a fuel delivery line extending between the fuel measurement cabinet and the internal combustion engine and to deliver fuel thereto, a first fuel return loop extending from the fuel delivery line to the fuel measurement cabinet, a second fuel return loop extending between the fuel measurement cabinet and the fuel conditioning cabinet and an intermediate cooling system comprising an intermediate cooling tank containing an intermediate coolant, an intermediate coolant line in serial thermodynamic communication with the first fuel return loop and the second fuel return loop to thermally connect the fuel flowing through both of the fuel conditioning cabinet and the fuel measurement cabinet to define an isothermic fuel stability.
Abstract:
A test stand for testing a fluid injection pump and/or a fluid injector has a device for conditioning a test fluid used for the testing. The device has a tank to accommodate and store the test fluid, a first fluid removal line to withdraw test fluid from the tank and to convey it to the fluid injection pump, and a cooling circuit for cooling the test fluid stored inside the tank. The cooling circuit has a second fluid removal line and a return line. The fluid removal line is to withdraw test fluid from the tank and is connected to a heat exchanger, which cools the test fluid withdrawn from the tank. The return line is connected to the heat exchanger and returns the test fluid from the heat exchanger back into the tank.
Abstract:
A fuel supply system for supplying a bi-fuel engine with a first fuel type, e.g., gasoline, includes a cooling circuit. The cooling circuit circulates the first fuel type through a direct injection pump assembly to prevent the first fuel type from overheating within the direct injection pump assembly.
