This paper presents comparative experimental study’s results of diesel fuel and aviation fuel effect on operational properties of a high-pressure fuel pump of a common rail injection system. The two identical fuel injection systems mounted on a test bed of the fuel injection pumps were prepared for the experimental durability tests. The lubricity properties of diesel fuel and aviation fuel (Jet-A1) were studied using the High-Frequency Reciprocating Rig (HFRR) method. The values of wear scar diameter (WSD) obtained with Jet-A1 fuels were compared to the respective values measured with the reference diesel fuel. The microscopic photographs of the wear scar diameters obtained on above mentioned fuels are presented in the paper. The test results showed that long-term (about 300 hours) using aviation fuels produced a negative effect on the durability of the high-pressure fuel pump. Due to the wear of plunger-barrel units the decrease in the fuel delivery rate occurred of about 6.7 % operating with aviation fuel. The average friction coefficients of Jet-A1 fuels were higher than that of the normal diesel fuel. Keywords: diesel fuel, aviation Jet-A1 fuel, lubricity, plunger-barrel units, wear scar diameter

This paper presents comparative experimental study’s results of ethanol-diesel fuel blends made effects on operational properties of a high-pressure fuel pump of a common rail injection system. The two identical fuel injection systems mounted on a test bed of the fuel injection pumps were prepared for the experimental durability tests. The lubricity properties of ethanol-diesel fuel blends E10 and E20 blends were studied using a four-ball tribometer. The test results showed that long-term (about 100 hours) using of ethanol-diesel blends produced a negative effect on the durability of the high-pressure fuel pump. Due to the wear of plunger-barrel units the decrease in the fuel delivery rate occurred of about 39% after the 100 h of continuous operation with ethanol-diesel fuel blends. The average friction coefficients of ethanol-diesel fuel blend E10 was lower than that of the normal diesel fuel. After the 100 hours of operation with ethanoldiesel fuel blend E10, the measured wear scar diameter was 10% higher than that of a fossil diesel fuel.

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.

The development of a very high pressure diesel fuel injection system has been one of the key solutions to improve engine performance and to reduce emissions. The diesel fuel management in the injector directly affects how the fuel spray is delivered to the combustion chamber, and therefore affects the mixing, combustion and the pollutants formation. To design such a very high pressure diesel fuel injection system, an advanced CFD tool to predict the complex flow in the fuel injection system is required in the robust design process. In this paper, a novel 3D CFD dynamic mesh with cavitation model is developed to simulate the dynamic response of the needle motion of a diesel fuel injector corresponding to high common rail pressure and other dimensional design variables, coupling with the imbalance of the spring force and the flow force (pressure plus viscous force). A mixture model is used for cavitation resulting from high speed flow in fuel injector. Due to the lack of experimental data, the model presented in this paper is only validated by a limited set of experimental data. Required meshing strategy is also discussed in the paper.

Increasing attention has being paid to alternative fuels that have the potential to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependence. The alcohol fuel n-butanol, as one of the advanced biofuels, can be potentially utilized as a partial or complete substitute for the diesel fuel in diesel engines. Experimental results from literature, as well as from the authors’ previous research, have shown promising trend of low soot and nitrogen oxides emissions from the combustion with n-butanol high pressure direct injection. However, due to the significant fuel property differences between n-butanol and diesel, the fuel delivery mechanism and combustion control algorithm need to be optimized for n-butanol use. A better understanding of the high pressure n-butanol injection characteristics, such as the injector opening/closing delays and spray droplet sizes, can provide the guidance for the control optimization and insights to the empirical observations of engine combustion and emissions. Meanwhile, the experimental data could be used for the model development of the n-butanol high pressure fuel injection events. In this work, injection rate measurement, high-speed video direct imaging, and phase Doppler anemometry (PDA) analysis of neat n-butanol and diesel fuel have been conducted with a light-duty high pressure common-rail fuel injection system. The injection rate measurement was performed with an offline injection rate analyzer at 20 bar backpressure to obtain the key parameters of the injector opening/closing delays, and the instantaneous pressure rise. The spray direct imaging was carried out in a pressurized chamber, and the PDA measurement was conducted on a test bench at ambient temperature and pressure. The injector dynamics and spray behavior with respect to the different fuels, variation of injection pressures, and variation of injection durations are discussed.

To expedite the application of fuel injection equipment to diesel engines, powertrain engineers are simulating the rate of injection with computer models. Many of the simple models give quite substantial errors if fuel cavitation in the high pressure system and the variations in bulk modulus with temperature and pressure are not included. This paper discuses cavitation and a companion paper discusses the treatment of non-linear bulk modulus. Diesel fuel injection nozzle hole size has been reduced and the injection pressures have been raised, to improve combustion, and the termination of the injection has been accelerated, to reduce carbon particle mass in the exhaust. High injection pressures and rapid termination set up very large hydraulic waves in the pipes and drillings of the fuel injection system, be it pump-pipe-nozzle or accumulator/common rail in type. The fuel momentum generated in these vigorous wave actions leaves such low pressures in parts of the system that vapour bubbles form in the fuel. Cavitation changes the bulk modulus of the fuel and the collapse of the cavities imparts sudden high pressure pulses to the fuel columns in the system and changes injection characteristics significantly. When modelling devices to control injection rate, the cavitation and non-linear bulk modulus have to be incorporated into the model. To this end, the concept of ‘condensation’ has been useful. The cavitated pipe section is divided into liquid and liquid + vapour mixture columns and modified momentum and mass conservation equations are applied separately. The model has been validated with a particular application of a rotary distributor pump to a high speed direct injection diesel engine, which is one of the more difficult fuel injection systems to model in which cavitation occurs at several operating conditions. The simulation results show the cavitation characteristics very well. This cavitated flow calculation model may be applied to other one-dimensional flow systems In addition, a more comprehensive injector model is introduced, which considers two loss factors at the needle seat and holes, sac volume, and viscous drag and leakage. This enhanced injector model shows some improvement at low load conditions

The paper presents the experimental test results of a common rail injection system operating with biodiesel and the diesel fuel. The three fuel split injection strategies were implemented to investigate the effects made by biodiesel and a fossil diesel fuel on the history of injector inlet pressure and the injection rate. In addition, the three intervals between split injections and the different injection pressures were used to obtain more information about the studied subjects. The obtained results showed that the peak mass injection rates of the main injection phase were slightly higher when using biodiesel than the respective values measured with the normal diesel fuel. Because the first injection phase activated the fuel pressure fluctuations along the high-pressure line and in front of the injector, the time-span between injections has an impact on the injector inlet pressure and thus the fuel injection rate during the second injection phase. Since the nozzle closes little later for biodiesel, the injector inlet pressure also occurred latter in the cycle.
