Abstract

The current problem of operating automotive equipment at low temperatures associated with the loss of diesel fuel’s properties (reducing the cloud point and crystallization of the fuel) is being considered, resulting in equipment failures due to failure of the power system and direct freezing of the fuel in the tubes, paraffin deposition leading to clogging of fuel filters. Domestic automotive vehicles do not have any effective means of heating diesel fuel, which forces drivers operating equipment in harsh climatic conditions to use their own individual developments. For these purposes, a device has been developed that allows you to heat all the diesel fuel poured into the fuel tank. The drive of the device (fuel priming pump) is proposed to be electric (from a linear electric motor), from the vehicle's on-board network, the type of pump used is piston, double-acting. A comprehensive calculation of the fuel priming pump is presented in order to determine its main characteristics and design dimensions. A schematic diagram of the installation of the developed device and all elements in the diesel engine power system is presented. The implementation of the proposed technical solution was carried out in the power system of the YaMZ-238 diesel engine installed on a load stand under conditions of its operation in low temperatures (the Far North, etc.). The obtained results of tests on a bench engine confirm the relevance of the research and showed that the use of the developed technical solution will allow heating all the diesel fuel poured into the car tank to a temperature of plus 50 °C, thereby eliminating the possibility of its crystallization and cloudiness and, in general, reducing the number of vehicle failures. techniques related to this problem.
