Ferronordic is the official dealer for Volvo Construction Equipment, Dressta, Mecalac and Rottne. In addition to sales and after-sales support for Volvo Construction Equipment, the company is a dealer for servicing Volvo and Renault Trucks, as well as a dealer for Volvo Penta for servicing industrial and marine engines in some regions of Russia. The company collaborates with other well-known brands and several suppliers of attachments. The Swedish concern Volvo Group supplies to the Russian market trucks equipped with diesel engines with Common Rail injection system, as well as with pump nozzles. Diesel mechanical and electronic pump nozzles perform timely and metered injection of the working mixture into the combustion chambers of the cylinders of a diesel engine. The mechanical nozzles are driven by a high-pressure fuel pump, while the electronic ones are controlled by the Common Rail electronic injection system and are constantly under intense mechanical stress. Poor quality diesel fuel leads to: loss of power, lack of traction and instability of the engine; overexpenditure and fuel leakage from sprayers; change in spray angle and time; change in the amount of injected mixture; the appearance of knocks and noises, black and bluish smoke during exhaust. The results of research work on the study of the quality of diesel fuel of the company LLC Ferronordic Trading House are presented. The physicochemical properties of diesel fuel were studied experimentally, such as: density, fractional composition, mass fraction of sulfur, mass fraction of water, flash point, limiting filterability temperature and cloud point.

Common Rail Injection System

Present paper couples the use of a modified version of the KIVA-3V code including a model for detailed chemistry to an experimental investigation performed on an optically accessible diesel engine. The engine is equipped with a commercial four valves cylinder head and a Common Rail injection system. Digital images and UV-visible flame emission measurements are compared with the visualization of the numerical results. The diesel fuel surrogate is considered within the numerical code, namely a blend consisting of n-heptane and toluene, approximating the physical and ignition properties of the diesel oil. Products, soot and NOx formation is described by a chain of 283 reactions involving 69 species. The Partially Stirred Reactor (PaSR) assumption is adopted to maintain the computational cost within acceptable limits. The collections of digital images of the spray evolution, the mixture formation and the combustion processes are undertaken by running the engine at 1000 rpm. Commercial diesel fuel is injected by using a single injection.

Common Rail Injection

This research paper presents a comparative experimental study for determining the functionality of a common-rail injection system used in light-duty diesel vehicles. Two Bosch fuel-injection systems were chosen to be tested using a low sulphur diesel fuel and an ethanol–diesel blend (7.7% v/v). Both systems were composed of a high-pressure injection pump Bosch (320 CDI), a common-rail and a Bosch piezoelectric fuel injector, and were tested during an accelerated durability test. In both cases, the injection systems were mounted in an injection test bench and run for 12 hours/day for 600 hours. An injection pressure of 1500 bar, a pump rotation speed of 2500 min−1 and an injection time of 1 ms were selected to simulate critical engine operating conditions. The selected test conditions were equivalent to driving a light-duty vehicle for over 120,000 km. This work employed several analysis equipment and techniques, including a surface tester for surface roughness characterization of the elements, an optical microscope for observation of the workpiece surface microstructure, a shadow comparator for geometrical characterization of elements, an analytical balance for weighing parts and, finally, a scanning electronic microscopy to determine nozzle dimensions. In both cases, the total fuel delivery was determined using an injection test bench. Results show that the use of the ethanol–diesel blend tested produced a similar effect on the durability of the injection pump parts as that produced when using diesel fuel. However, the effect on the injector nozzle was dissimilar.

The presented paper aims to study the influence of mineral diesel fuel and synthetic Gas-To-Liquid fuel (GTL) on the injection process, fuel flow conditions, and cavitation formation in a modern common-rail injector. First, the influence on injection characteristics was studied experimentally using an injection system test bench, and numerically using the one-dimensional computational program. Afterward, the influence of fuel properties on internal fuel flow was studied numerically using a computational program. The flow inside the injector was considered as multiphase flow and was calculated through unsteady Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations using a Eulerian–Eulerian two-fluid approach. Finally, the influence of in-cylinder back pressure on the internal nozzle flow was studied at three distinctive back pressures. The obtained numerical results for injection characteristics show good agreement with the experimental ones. The results of 3D simulations indicate that differences in fuel properties influence internal fuel flow and cavitation inception. The location of cavitation formation is the same for both fuels. The cavitation formation is triggered regardless of fuel properties. The size of the cavitation area is influenced by fuel properties and also from in-cylinder back pressure. Higher values of back pressure induce smaller areas of cavitation and vice versa. Comparing the conditions at injection hole exit, diesel fuel proved slightly higher average mass flow rate and velocities, which can be attributed to differences in fluid densities and viscosities. Overall, the obtained results indicate that when considering the injection process and internal nozzle flow, GTL fuel can be used in common-rail injection systems with solenoid injectors.

No Emissions

Advanced electronically controlled diesel engines require a feedback signal to the ECU to adjust different operating parameters and meet demands for power, better fuel economy and low emissions. Different types of in-cylinder combustion sensors are being considered to produce this signal. This paper presents results of an experimental investigation on the characteristics of the ion current in an automotive diesel engine equipped with a common rail injection system. The engine is a 1.9 L, 4-cylinder, direct injection diesel engine. Experiments covered different engine loads and injection pressures. The relationships between the ion current, combustion parameters and engine out NO emissions and opacity are presented. The analysis of the experimental data identified possible sources of the ion current produced in diesel engines.
