The high-pressure hydraulic circuit of the Multi-jet Common Rail (C.R.) system has thoroughly been investigated in the last few years by researchers of the automotive field. However, shortage of knowledge is still present about the high-pressure pump performance. Hydraulic-mechanical efficiency of the pump is only known as mean value and no published data are available on the Radial-jet compression volumetric efficiency. Due to the fact that part of the pumped fuel is partially expelled by the pressure-control valve and because of the presence of the oil flowing in the cooling and lubrification circuit, the determination of the compression volumetric efficiency seems to be a hard task. In the present paper a detailed description of the Radial-jet performance has been provided. The dependence of the flow rate sucked by the high-pressure pump, on speed and load has been studied and the characteristic curve of the cooling-lubricant circuit has been determined. A special procedure was designed and applied for the experimental evaluation of the fuel leakages from the pumping chambers, so as to allow the calculus of the volumetric efficiency. The actual head-capacity pump curves at different revolution speeds were plotted and compared with the electroinjector flow-requirements so as to allow the evaluation of the efficiency of the pressure-control strategy. Furthermore the pump mechanic-hydraulic efficiency dependence on head and speed was also experimentally assessed.

Hasan Basri-382 Indonesian warhip (KRI) use MTU 16 V 4000 M 90 diesel engine with common rail technologythat uses a High Pressure Fuel Pump. The pump has a vital function because it provides fuel up to a pressureof 1400 bars on the common rail. The problem is that there is pump compilation or damage (leakage), then thefuel pressure at the High Pressure Pump input drops and risks the output pressure of the fuel High PressurePump towards the common rail, where the pressure drops dramatically, so that the fuel pressure is below 4 baror fuel pressure inside the common rail below 700 bar Engine Control Unit (ECU) accepts the engine to stop theengine. The price of the pump is too expensive. In addition, this pump cannot be repaired or in other words itmust be replaced by the new one. Based on the pump for life, it must be replaced every 4500 hours or in onceW5 maintenanc period. But this lifetime schedule has never been approved. Therefore, it is expected to causedamage to the pump so prevention efforts can be made. In addition, the author has also used the SWOTmethod to find the best strategy in finding solutions to the problems of this High Pressure Pump. And of course,these strategies are used for advice at the end of this settlement.Keywords: Common Rail, Damage, High Pressure Pump, Parchim Class, and SWOT Method

A mechanical model of a high-pressure pump of a common rail fuel injection system is presented and validated by comparison with experimental instantaneous pump shaft torque and pump piston lift data. The instantaneous torque has been measured with a high-performance torque meter installed on a hydraulic rig for testing pieces of injection apparatus. In the model, the mechanics of the piston plunger and the forces exchanged between pistons and cam are simulated, and friction losses between mobile parts are taken into account. The numerical tool is used to investigate the dynamical performance of the high-pressure pump and to analyse the impact of the rail pressure control strategy on instantaneous torque, energy saving and flow rate ripple. The rail pressure control strategy, based on the application of a fuel metering valve at the pump inlet, gives rise to an improved hydraulic efficiency of the injection system at part loads and to a moderate rate of pressure increase in the pumping chamber at part loads. However, the rail pressure control strategy based on the installation of a pressure control valve at one rail extremity leads to a reduction in the pump flow rate ripple and to a diminution in the fatigue stress. Furthermore, cavitation problems can occur during intake and early compression phases of the pump cycle when the fuel metering unit is working.

A fully predictive model of a Common Rail fuel injection apparatus, which includes a detailed simulation of rail, pump, piping system, injectors and rail pressure control system, is presented and discussed. The high-pressure pump and injector sub-models have been validated separately and then coupled to the rail and pressure control system sub-models. The complete predictive model has been validated and applied to investigate the effects of the dynamics of each component of the injection apparatus on the rail pressure time history. Variable timing of the high-pressure pump delivery phases has also been considered, and the influence of this parameter on the injection performance has been analysed for both single- and multiple-injection events. Furthermore, the injection system dynamics during the transients between steady-state working conditions has been investigated in order to highlight the role played by the dynamic response of the pressure control system on the rail pressure time history.
