Abstract: |
||||
A proper and synchronized fuel injection is paramount for a good engine performance, since it provides a homogeneous combustion among the cylinders. The use of alternative fuels such as Ethanol, Methanol and Natural Gas in automotive applications has increased due to the strict environmental regulations. These are used to reduce automotive emissions, especially in heavy trucks and city bus fleets. Most of these vehicles use diesel fuel as their primary fuel. Trucks and buses with Detroit Diesel engines have the option to operate using methanol as their primary fuel instead of diesel fuel. Due to the low lubricity of methanol fuel, the unit fuel injectors injecting methanol fuel have a shorter operating life than those injecting diesel fuel do. Using the computational fluid dynamics programs CFX and CFX obtained the pressure and velocity profiles for pre-selected locations in the fluid path of the injector. Locations of high and low velocity areas were determined to be performance inhibitors and possible failure points and Find the way to minimize failure points. |
