A dynamic model of a multi-port electronic fuel injection system, capable of analyzing fast fluid transients in the fuel, is presented. The model consists of distributed parameter models for fuel lines and lumped parameter models for the fuel pump, pressure regulator and injectors. Modal approximation is used to model fuel lines. An experimental test bench has been established, and comparison of simulation and experimental results shows excellent agreement in transient characteristics. Using this experimentally verified model, the effects of injector clogging and vapor in the fuel rail on pressure transients are examined. A bond graph model of the total system is presented to identify the proper formulation of each subsystem model.

Delivery Line

A methodology for the use of passive elements for transient control in pipelines is outlined. The specific objective is the elimination of pressure fluctuations in a fuel delivery line that are created by fuel injector operation. This is accomplished by the appropriate sizing of resistance elements upstream and downstream of the fuel injection system in the delivery line such that no pressure wave reflections occur in the system. The concept of matching the resistance element to the characteristic impedance of the fuel delivery system is described and applied to orifice and laminar flow elements. Experimental evidence is presented to validate the concepts.

Realistic Description

Operating conditions dependent large pressure variations are one of the working characteristics of combination electronic unit pump (CEUP) fuel injection system for diesel engines. We propose a precise and accurate nonlinear numerical model of pressure inside HP fuel pipeline of CEUP using wave equation (WE) including both viscous and frequency dependent frictions. We have proved that developed hyperbolic approximation gives more realistic description of pressure wave as compared to classical viscous damped wave equation. Frictional effects of various frequencies on pressure wave have been averaged out across valid frequencies to represent the combined effect of all frequencies on pressure wave. Dynamic variations of key fuel properties including density, acoustic wave speed, and bulk modulus with varying pressures have also been incorporated. Based on developed model we present analysis on effect of fuel pipeline length on pressure wave propagation and variation of key fuel properties with both conventional diesel and alternate fuel rapeseed methyl ester (RME) for CEUP pipeline.

A high pressure combined air-fuel injection system is designed and tested for an experimental free liquid-piston engine compressor. The application discussed utilizes available high pressure air from the compressor’s reservoir, and high pressure fuel to mix and then inject into a combustion chamber. This paper addresses the modeling, design and control for this particular high-pressure air-fuel injection system, which features an electronically controlled air/fuel ratio control scheme. This system consists of a fuel line and an air line, whose mass flow rates are restricted by metering valves. These two lines are connected to a common downstream tube where air and fuel are mixed. By controlling the upstream pressures and the orifice areas of the metering valves, desired A/F ratios can be achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated by a lumped-parameter model in simulation and validated by experiments.

Atomization Performance

The push towards higher specific fuel consumption and smaller, lighter packaging for aerospace gas turbine engines has resulted in large increases in engine operating pressure and temperature. This is a trend that is expected to continue, and as a result, thermal management of the hot engine section including the fuel nozzle, combustor, and turbine has emerged as a critical technology area requiring further development. For the fuel injection system, nozzle thermal management, turndown ratio, and atomization performance while maintaining correct combustor aerodynamics are the most important performance features that necessitate optimization. Significant advances in fuel injection concepts are required to meet the increasingly demanding combustor requirements. Complex heat-shielded designs are often required to reduce nozzle wetted-wall temperatures and prevent the formation of carbonaceous deposits within the fuel delivery passages. To support the development of advanced combustors and address these increasing performance demands, Parker has developed a new Hybrid Air Blast nozzle. Advanced analytical and experimental design tools were applied to reduce the cut-and-try approach previously used in nozzle development. The developed hybrid air blast design achieved excellent atomization performance over a wide range of fuel flow rates and air pressure drops. Thermal analysis of the nozzle showed that the wetted wall temperatures were reduced considerably when compared to previous designs operating at the same conditions. Eight-port circumferential spray patternation results were outstanding with the patternation factor at various values of liquid flow rate ranging between 0.12 and 0.18. This patternation factor is a significant improvement over those of current state-of-the-art injectors that are typically of the order of 0.25.

This paper presents a comparative experimental study for determining the effect of ethanol on functionality of a high pressure pump of the common rail fuel injection system. For experimental durability tests were prepared two identical fuel injection systems, which were mounted on a test bed for a fuel injection pump. One of the fuel injection systems was feed with diesel fuel; other fuel injection system was fuelled with ethanol–diesel fuel blend. A blend with 12% v/v ethanol and 88% v/v diesel fuel and low sulphur diesel fuel as a reference fuel were used in this study. To determine the effect of ethanol on the durability of the high pressure pump total fuel delivery performance and surface roughness of pump element were measured prior and after the test. Results show that the use of the ethanol–diesel blend tested produced a negative effect on the durability of the high pressure fuel pump. The wear of plungers and barrels when using ethanol–diesel fuel blend caused a decrease in fuel delivery up to 30% after 100 h of operation.

A detailed analysis of a common rail (CR) fuel injection system, equipped with solenoid injectors for Euro 6 diesel engine applications, has been performed in the frequency domain. A lumped parameter numerical model of the high-pressure hydraulic circuit, from the pump delivery to the injector nozzle, has been realized. The model outcomes have been validated through a comparison with frequency values that were obtained by applying the peak-picking technique to the experimental pressure time histories acquired from the pipe that connects the injector to the rail. The eigenvectors associated with the different eigenfrequencies have been calculated and physically interpreted, thus providing a methodology for the modal analysis of hydraulic systems. Three main modal motions have been identified in the considered fuel injection apparatus, and the possible resonances with the external forcing terms, i.e., pump delivered flow rate, injected flow rate, and injector dynamic fuel leakage through the pilot valve, have been discussed. The investigation has shown that the rail is mainly involved in the first two vibration modes. In the first mode, the rail performs a decoupling action between the high-pressure pump and the downstream hydraulic circuit. Consequently, the oscillations generated by the pump flow rates mainly remain confined to the pipe between the pump and the rail. The second mode is centered on the rail and involves a large part of the hydraulic circuit, both upstream and downstream of the rail. Finally, the third mode principally affects the injector and its internal hydraulic circuit. It has also been observed that some geometric features of the injection apparatus can have a significant effect on the system dynamics and can induce hydraulic resonance phenomena. Furthermore, the lumped parameter model has been used to determine a simplified transfer function between rail pressure and injected flow rate. The knowledge obtained from this study can help to guide designers draw up an improved design of this kind of apparatus, because the pressure waves, which are triggered by impulsive events and are typical of injector working, can affect the performance of modern injection systems, especially when digital rate shaping strategies or closely coupled multiple injections are implemented.

Most motorcycles in developing countries use carburetor systems as the fuel delivery method especially for models with the cubic capacity of less than 125cc. However, small gasoline fuelled engines operating using carburetor system suffer from low operating efficiency, waste of fuel and produce higher level of hazardous emissions to the environment. In this study, an electronic control unit (ECU) is designed and simulated for a retrofit fuel injection (FIS) system. The ECU is targeted to have a simple design, reliable and offers all of the necessary functions of the modern ECU. The simulation results shows that the designed ECU can determine the injection period as close to the proposed value and can drive the injector efficiently based on the generated PWM pulse.

Both physical and mathematical models were built to describe the main processes in large-bore gas engines. Based on the detail modeling and analysis of cylinder airflow, fuel injection, mixing, combustion and NOx generation, it was possible to pinpoint the problem of abnormal NOx production, even for lean mixtures, that occurs in these engines. In addition, analysis of the experimental data of jet mixing using high-speed photographic evidence, as well as engine performance data, has helped in the understanding of the mixing process. This has resulted in the development of a new way of the mixing of fuel and air utilizing multiple-nozzle supersonic injection. The fuel injection system is designed to optimize the mixing of the methane fuel with the air in the cylinder of a large bore natural gas engine. The design goals of low-pressure (<130 psi), all-electronic valve actuation, and optimal mixing were all achieved with a unique valve/nozzle arrangement. Later, a laser induced fluorescence method was used to take high-speed photographs of the development of the fuel jet exiting the newly developed supersonic electronic fuel injector (SSEFI). This result, together with the results of numerous experimental testing of SSEFI on different engines (GMVH-6, GMW-10, V-250, UTC-165) are presented as evidence of the success of the SSEFI application for the improvement of engine performance, engine control and NOx reduction.

Fuelling system is one of the crucial variables that must be focused on, in order to achieve good fuel efficiency and low engine out emissions. Fuel injection system seems a promising technology as a medium to supply suppressed fuel because of its high fuel delivery efficiency, enhanced fuel economy and reduced engine out emission. Port-fuel injection (PFI) system has been used widely on small four-stroke gasoline engine because of its simplicity compared to direct injection (DI) system. In this study, the effects of intake manifold angle of a PFI retrofit-kit to the engine performances and emission characteristics were investigated. Experimental works comprised wide-open throttle with variable dynamometer loads for two different angles: 90° and 150°. From this study, it was observed that 150° was the best angle, which produced high brake power (BP) and brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and hydrocarbon (HC) emission.

A survey of study on dimethyl ether engine fuel supply system at home and abroad was described, including pump-pipe-nozzle system and common-rail fuel supply system. The main trouble of practical application of dimethyl ether engine is wear and leakage problems in the fuel delivery system caused by low viscosity of dimethyl ether. For controllable premixed combustion of dimethyl ether engine, a fuel injection system is developed which is consisted of a diaphragm pump and a wear self-compensation nozzle or an independent lubrication nozzle. The system is expected to solve the above problems essentially and becomes a development direction for the future.
