Abstract
Common rail injection systems are becoming a more widely used solution in the fuel systems of modern diesel engines. The main component and the characteristic feature of the system is rail injection of the fuel under high pressure, which is passed to the injector and further to the combustion chamber. An important element in this process is the high-pressure pump, continuing adequate pressure in the rail injection system. Common rail (CR) systems are being modified in order to optimise their work and virtual simulations are a useful tool in order to analyze the correctness of operation of the system while varying the parameters and settings, without any negative impact on the real object. In one particular study, a computer simulation of the pump high-pressure CR system was made in MatLab environment, based on the actual dimensions of the object – a one-cylinder diesel engine, the Farymann Diesel 18W. The resulting model consists of two parts – the first is responsible for simulating the operation of the high-pressure pump, and the second responsible for simulation of the remaining elements of the CR system. The results of this simulation produced waveforms of the following parameters: fluid flow from the manifold to the injector [m3/s], liquid flow from the manifold to the atmosphere [m3 /s], and manifold pressure [Pa]. The simulation results allow for a positive verification of the model and the resulting system could become a useful element of simulation of the entire position and control algorithm.
Highlights
Nowadays, diesel engines are becoming more and more popular; modern diesel drives combine both driving dynamics and economy, which for many vehicle users is a key advantage
The aims of the study were: 1. To create a simulation of the processes occurring in the working fluid in a high pressure system in an engine with the common rail fuel system, based on a test stand to study the combustion process at the Department of Production Engineering at Warsaw University of Life Sciences
The simulation model was made in the Matlab Simulink environment
Summary
Diesel engines are becoming more and more popular; modern diesel drives combine both driving dynamics and economy, which for many vehicle users is a key advantage. It is the dominant power unit in the heavy vehicles sector, vehicle fleets, and machinery and equipment. It is possible to achieve stricter emission reduction targets in terms of CO2 into the air [1]. To optimise the operation of these engines and their emissions requires constant modifications and design improvements. Nowadays computer simulations of the work of individual components as well as whole appliances are becoming increasingly popular
