Research on fuel injection characteristics of common rail system based on high pressure pipeline integration and matching

Abstract

AbstractThe modular prediction model of high pressure common rail system was established to study the influence of high‐pressure pipeline integration matching on the fuel injection characteristics of common rail system. The influence of common rail volume on pressure building and pressure fluctuation in common rail tubes was analyzed. The influence of common rail volume on the matching of fuel injection frequency (number of fuel injectors) and fuel supply frequency (number of plunger pumps) was studied by using the control variable method, and the basic optimal solution of the system was obtained. The influence of the common rail structure on the fuel flow characteristics of the system was also studied. The matching relationship between high pressure tubing and common rail system is studied by introducing dimensionless numbers such as length‐diameter ratio of pipeline. The results demonstrate that the increase of the storage space of the accumulator can effectively reduce the fluctuation in the system, so that the injection volume increases slowly and then decreases rapidly, with a slope of −5.70 × 10−3 mm3. The increase of the diameter of the common rail makes the fuel flow characteristics become good first and then bad, and the increase of the length of the common rail can soothe the pressure fluctuations. The increase of the diameter of the link tube (LT) makes the fuel injection volume of the injector increase first and then decrease. The optimal VR solution for the LT is 0.0249 and the optimal ratio of the length to diameter of a pipeline solution is 55.10. The structure of the distribution tube and its matching to the common rail have little effect on the fuel flow characteristics. When the diameter and length of the injection tube are too large, the influence on the injection pressure of the injector is negatively correlated.
