The Development of a New Interface for Intelligent Control of Energy Supply in Dynamic Environment with Process Digitization

Abstract

In the last 20 years, the port fuel injection systems have been designed and optimized for various types of applications in thermal engines and industrial sectors, but in order to keep up their performances and to boost the power output when decreasing masses and inertia it has to be analyzed and digitally controlled. Potential of fuel supply systems is yet to be uncovered and implemented due to the multitude of recent discoveries in electronic injection control and digitalization of fluid dynamics. The challenge for researchers and industrial specialists is to design an optimal structured and operational digital map. The first objective of the present research is to point out the correlation in the fluid control and the electronic or digital mapping in order to track the trend-line for features of the electronic control module. Specific targets of the research are as follows: analyze of fuel spray load, input fluid mixture pressure before the engine, electronic control module auxiliary load and ignition spark timing in relation to the engine speed. Research on the digitized powertrain was conducted after installment of a sensor hub and actuator hub, which constituted the hardware assembly. Results were showing a slight improvement in some regimes of engine’s operation with 5% ethanol mixt with standard gasoline in a volume blending. Practical results highlighted that optimal eco-performance working regime of the engine was in proximity of 1600-1800 revolutions per minute at the crankshaft, providing a small amount of gasoline fuel. Manifold pressure of the air intake has resulted in proximity of the 90 kPa. Correlating all the parameters was mapped the eco-performance pole for the tests analyzed in the current research.
