Abstract:
In high horse power engines there are strict energy budgets allotted for each subsystem. It is a challenge for a gaseous fuel pumping system to supply the necessary gaseous fuel mass flow to the engine while staying within budget. A method for pressurizing a gaseous fuel supplied to an engine comprises providing first and second hydraulically actuated pumping apparatus comprising first and second shuttle valves in first and second hydraulic pistons respectively; and selectively communicating hydraulic fluid flow to the first and second hydraulically actuated pumping apparatuses. In a first mode hydraulic fluid is communicated through the first hydraulically actuated pumping apparatus to the second hydraulically actuated pumping apparatus. In a second mode hydraulic fluid is communicated through the second hydraulically actuated pumping apparatus to the first hydraulically actuated pumping apparatus. The method switches between the first and second modes when a pressure drop in hydraulic fluid pressure associated with the hydraulic fluid flowing through the first and second shuttle valves is detected.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a fuel injection system (1) for an internal combustion engine. The fuel injection system (1) comprises a fuel tank (2), a low pressure fuel feed pump (3), a high pressure fuel pump (5) with a suction channel (13) for supplying fuel to a high pressure pumping mechanism, and a first fuel return line (7). The low pressure fuel feed pump (3) is arranged for supplying fuel from the fuel tank (2) to the suction channel (13) and the first fuel return line (7) is arranged for enabling excessively supplied fuel from the low pressure fuel feed pump (3) to be re-circulated to the fuel tank (2). At least one non-return valve (16, 17, 18) is placed in the fuel feed flow from the low pressure fuel feed pump (3) to the suction channel (13) and/or in the fuel return flow in the first fuel return line (7), and the at least one non-return valve (16, 17, 18) is arranged to prevent flow in a direction opposite the feed flow and/or re-circulation flow. The disclosure also relates to a fuel injection system (1) comprising a bleed valve (14) connected by its inlet to the suction channel (13) and by its outlet to the fuel tank (2). The bleed valve (14) is a spring-loaded non-return valve and its spring opening pressure is set lower than an average relative feed pressure of the low pressure fuel feed pump (3).
Abstract:
A method and system is disclosed for delivering a cryogenically stored fuel in a gaseous state into the air intake system of a gaseous fuelled internal combustion engine. The method comprises measuring the pressure in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel, comparing the measured pressure to a required fuel supply pressure and supplying fuel in gaseous state directly from the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel to the fuel delivery line that supplies fuel to the engine, when the pressure measured in the vapor space of the cryogenic storage vessel is equal to or higher than the required fuel supply pressure. The method further comprises activating a cryogenic pump to deliver fuel to the internal combustion engine from the liquid space of the cryogenic storage vessel when the measured pressure in the vapor space is lower than the required fuel supply pressure.

There is an improved method for supplying gaseous fuel from a liquid state to an internal combustion engine comprising employing a second internal combustion engine as a source of energy; pumping the gaseous fuel in the liquid state by transforming energy from the source of energy into mechanical work for the pumping; exchanging waste heat from the second internal combustion engine in a first heat exchange fluid circulating through the second internal combustion engine to a second heat exchange fluid; vaporizing the gaseous fuel pumped from the liquid state with heat from the second heat exchange fluid; and delivering the gaseous fuel vaporized from the liquid state to the internal combustion engine; wherein a pressure of the gaseous fuel delivered to the internal combustion engine is maintained within a predetermined range of tolerance by the pumping.
Abstract:
A pump head (14) for a high-pressure fuel pump is disclosed. The pump head comprises a head housing including a body portion (24), and a turret portion (30) extending from the body portion (24), a pumping chamber (36) defined within the body portion (24), a pumping element bore (34) for receiving a pumping element (32) in use, the pumping element bore (34) extending from the pumping chamber (36) and through the turret portion (30), and a leakage return passage (74). The pump head (14) further comprises a sleeve (70) arranged around the turret portion (70) to define a leakage flow path (72) to allow fuel flow from the pumping element bore (34) to the leakage return passage (74). The pump head is suitable for use in a fuel pump of the type in which a cam drive arrangement of the pump is lubricated by engine oil, since contamination of the engine oil with fuel can be minimised.
