The paper presents the methodology of testing common rail fuel injectors, which consisted in extending the standard diagnostic proce-dures with the analysis of the resulting fuel delivery fields. The calculations were carried out in a popular spreadsheet, using Gauss's formulas (the so-called shoelace formula). In this way, the necessity to modify the test bench software was eliminated, as the analytical process took place after the end of the active experiment phase. It has been shown that the proposed solution should be particularly useful in problematic situations where clear-cut verification and assessment of the technical condition of the fuel injectors is sometimes difficult, as shown in the example. In addition, implementation in a digital environment allows the presented algorithms to be reused in research with a similar profile.

Problematic Situations

The paper presents a simplified methodology for generating the characteristic curve of fuel doses for common rail injectors, which consists in limiting the number of measurements on the test bench and calculating missing data using predefined (array) functions of the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. This allows checking the method of fuel delivery in a wide spectrum of predefined pressures and atomiser opening times, while reducing the arduousness and time-consumption of the active experiment phase. The proposed solution is particularly useful in problematic situations when standard manufacturer's tests, referred only to selected work points, make it impossible to clearly assess the technical condition of the injector.

The paper presents the author's own method for testing piezoelectric common rail fuel injectors, which for many years were considered non-repairable components. This was mainly due to the lack of availability of spare parts and dedicated measuring equipment, enabling full diagnostics under test bench conditions. As a result, their workshop and laboratory servicing was very limited, as effective disassembly concerned basicaly only the plunger and barrel assembly (needle with nozzle) for selected reference models. The situation has now improved to such an extent that an author’s own regeneration procedure has been proposed with the replacement of the most important controls and actuators. The tests were carried out on the example of Siemens VDO Continental PCR 2.3 fuel injectors from one engine, listing the most important stages of this process, including the correction of fuel dosage and returns.

According to such properties of DME as high saturated vapor pressure, low viscosity and easy formation of mixture with air, a CPC (Controllable Premix Combustion) low-pressure common rail electrical control fuel injection test bench of DME engine is developed through this research. In addition, an overall design of the test system, hardware and software development of electrical control unit (ECU) and a test on the test bench are undertaken. The software of ECU is programmed by using real time modular programming. It has the advantages of flexible programming, convenient transplantation and wide extending possibility. Test results show that the injector switch timely, spray powerfully and pulverize perfectly. The software accomplishes many tasks such as signal acquisition as well as real-time control requirement of engine operation. Test result also shows the feasibility and good comprehensive performance of low-pressure common rail electronic system for DME fuel.

This paper describes how a complete test bench for a Common Rail™ injection system has been built by means of hardware/software codesign techniques. The test bench is made up of two main components: a HW component running mainly on a FPGA device, interacting directly with the electromechanical components (namely, a high pressure pump, six electrical injectors, an electrical discharge valve, two pressure sensors), for high speed signal acquisition and generation, and for closed loop control; and a SW component, written in Visual Basic™, running on a PC, including a graphical user interface for parameters setting and system characterization. An additional signal acquisition board is also used for monitoring six load cells and for temperature control. The two components communicate through the standard PC's parallel port operated in Enhanced Parallel Port mode. The test bench is totally designed, simulated and implemented under the CodeSimulink hardware/software codesign environment, which runs as a plug-in of The Mathworks™ Simulink™ design tool. A few other commercial HW/SW codesign tools have also been considered, but none of them offered either enough performance or flexibility or, more importantly, ease of use and compatibility with existing Simulink simulation models of the various components of the test bench.

Analysis of technical condition of diesels with accumulator Common Rail power supply system shows that the largest share of fuel equipment failures is associated with malfunction of high-pressure fuel injectors. The electronic engine control unit generates commands for biphasic fuel injection from each injector. Due to the wear of the injector elements, there is an uneven fuel supply to the engine cylinders and, as a rule, deterioration of its operation. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in studying the process of adjusting the fuel supply in the Common Rail system when diagnosing the engine of a Ford Transit vehicle. (Materials and methods) The most relevant method of commissioning Common Rail fuel system injectors are various service procedures, such as the Low Injection Training procedure. Authors used a scanner and appropriate software to estimate total fuel delivery at idle mode. Authors performed the study on a 2.4 liter Duratorq diesel engine. (Results and discussion) The article presents the engine parameters before and after adjustment (Small Injection Procedure). Before adjustment, two cylinders of the engine received more fuel than the other cylinders. It manifests in an increase in crankshaft speed. After the adjustment, the fuel supply to the cylinders was equalized, resulting in an equalization of crankshaft RPM, reduced vibration and noise. (Conclusions) The study showed that fuel adjustment and Low Injection Training should be a must for engine diagnostics. Correction is effective if the value of injection discrepancy is no more than 5 mg/stroke.

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.

Article describes the results of researches fuel injectors on the test bench with using infrared camera. During researches has been verified various fuel injectors (working order and faulty). In results inner leaks fuel injectors have increased return dosages. Few elements influence on this. It is difficult to determine which element could be uses after disassemble. It is possible to determine the source of leaks during analysis decomposition of temperature fuel injector body.
