Abstract
AbstractIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in alternative sources of power supply for internal combustion engines. Liquefied petroleum gas injection systems are among the most popular. It becomes necessary to know mathematical descriptions of the operation of individual components. The article presents a mathematical model that describes the operation of the low-pressure gas injector. Valtek plunger injector was chosen as the test object. The mathematical description includes three parts, i.e. electric, mechanical and pneumatic. The electrical part describes the generation of electromagnetic force by a circuit with a coil, in the mechanical equilibrium equation of forces acting on the plunger, and in the pneumatic part the air pressure on the plunger. The calculations were performed in the Matlab/Simulink environment, creating current waveforms, acting forces and plunger displacement. Correctness of mathematical description and determined in the course of opening and closing time calculations were related to the values declared by the manufacturer, showing differences below 3%. The presented mathematical model can be modified for other injector design solutions.
