High-pressure fuel injection

Lubricity Additive - used to help prevent wear of high-pressure fuel injection equipment. Use is not permitted in aviation gasoline and can be used only by permission in civil jet fuel. Use is mandatory in military jet fuel grades. Topically, the corrosion inhibitor also functions in providing adequate fuel lubricity performance. 

If a diesel fuel is low in viscosity due to kerosene dilution or solvent dilution, its lubricity is probably poor. The possibility of wear of the high-pressure fuel injection pump parts will increase. The effect of kerosene dilution on the lubricity of a typical low sulfur diesel fuel is shown in FIGURE 5-2. 

Lubricity is a term used to describe the ability of a fluid to minimize friction between, and damage to, surfaces in relative motion under load. Fuel helps to lubricate and prevent wear of high-pressure fuel injection pump components, especially under boundary lubrication conditions. Boundary lubrication is defined as a condition whereby friction and wear between two surfaces in relative motion are determined by the properties of the surfaces and the bulk properties of the contacting fluid. The bulk viscosity of the fuel or oil is not a critical factor under boundary lubrication conditions. 

A typical fuel injection system is composed of the following components fuel tank, injection pump, mechanical or electronic governor, timing device, fuel supply pump, high-pressure fuel injection lines, and fuel injectors. The high-pressure fuel injection pump is the core of the fuel injection system. The in-line pump and distributor pump are the most common in fuel systems. 

In order to develop rehable products with a long lifespan, it is necessary to predict possible causes of future damage in the use phase during the early construction phases already. Over the whole product life cycle, mechatronic products (e.g. electronic coolant pumps, high pressure fuel injection pumps, alternators) exhibit highly complex damage causes due to the interactions between the different subcomponents. 

From the 1980s to early 2000s, control of PM was mainly accomplished using technologies that improved engine combustion, most successfully with the common-rail system, i.e., an electronically controlled high-pressure fuel injection system. However, as more severe emission regulations have been enforced worldwide, the adoption of after-treatment systems that directly remove exhausted PM has become inevitable. 

At Point 2, the air intake is closed, but compression does not begin until the exhaust port is covered also. Shortly after the exhaust port is closed and compression of the trapped air begins, fuel is injected at Point 3 into the cylinder through a high pressure fuel valve. At Point 4, just prior to completion of the compression stroke, a spark ignites the fucl/ iir mixture and the pressure rises rapidly through the remainder of the compression stroke and the beginning of the power stroke. 

Diesel fuel prevents wear of high-pressure fuel pumping and injection equipment parts. If the viscosity of diesel fuel is low, its ability to form a hydrodynamic lubricating film between moving metal parts diminishes. The term lubricity is used to describe the wear-inhibiting capability of distillate fuels. 

A P- Vq diagram for a four-stroke diesel cycle is shown inFig. 11.8. In this case, air is compressed to a high pressure. Fuel is then injected under pressure and burns with extreme rapidity. The pressure remains constant during the fuel injection phase [from (a) to (b) inFig. 11.8], and then falls as the gas expands and as the piston does work. 

Oxygen injection equipment. Oxygen is needed in the high-pressure fuel system to maintain chemical stability of the uranyl-sulfate solution and to reduce corrosion of the stainless steel container. This oxy-... 

The necessity of carrying out injection at high pressure and the atomization into fine droplets using an injector imposes very precise volatility characteristics for the diesel fuel. French and European specifications have established two criteria for minimum and maximum volatility therefore, the distilled fraction in volume % should be ... 

This standard could be adapted to the fuel compressor for the natural gas to be brought up to the injection pressure required for the gas turbine. Covers the minimum requirements for reciprocating compressors and their drivers used in petroleum, chemical, and gas industry services for handling process air or gas with either lubricated or nonlubricated cylinders. Compressors covered by this standard are of moderate-to-low speed and in critical services. The nonlubricated cylinder types of compressors are used for injecting fuel in gas turbines at the high pressure needed. Also covered are related lubricating systems, controls, instrumentation, intercoolers, after-coolers, pulsation suppression devices, and other auxiliary equipment. 

Manifold barriers confine the radioactivity to the 1) ceramic fuel pellet 2) clad 3) cooling water, as demonstrated by the TMI-2 accident 4) primary cooling loop 5) containment and 6) separation from the public by siting. Further protection is provided by engineered safety systems pressurizers, depressurization, low pressure injection, high pressure injection and residmil heat removal systems.
