Definitions
- the present disclosure generally refers to an injector and more particularly to a nozzle system configured for an injector adapted to be used with alternative fuels and a method for operating an injection nozzle system.
- Alternative fuels replacing fossil fuels are the subject of ongoing interest, in particular with respect to the replacement of, e.g., diesel fuel, light fuel oil (LFO), and heavy fuel oil (HFO).
- Alternative fuels include first generation biofuels (e.g. palm oil, canola oil, oils based on animal fat) and second generation biofuels (e.g. oils made of non food corps, i.e. waste biomass).
- second generation biofuel examples include "pyrolysis oils” obtained from the pyrolysis of, e.g., wood or agricultural wastes, such as the stalks of wheat or corn, grass, wood, wood shavings, grapes, and sugar cane.
- pyrolysis oil is predominantly produced by the "Fast Pyrolysis” technology, which comprises rapid pyrolysation of biomass in a fluidized bubbling sand bed reactor, wherein the solid heat-carrying medium is circulated and, therefore, the residence time of solids is well-controlled and high heating rates (up to 1000 °C/second) are obtained.
- alternative fuels such as pyrolysis oils
- alternative fuels can have poor lubrication properties and usually comprise small size particles in the range of, e.g., 1-5 ⁇ m.
- the temperature of use is generally lower for alternative fuels than for, e.g., HFO.
- a temperature of use of 60°C is common for pyrolysis oil to on the one side provide a viscosity similar to HFO and on the other side avoid becoming paste-like.
- alternative fuels can cause considerable damage, care has to be taken when alternative fuels are used as a substitute for diesel fuels or light fuel oil in, e.g., large internal combustion engines.
- the acidic pH value can cause corrosion that is further increased by the abrasive effect of the small particles when the fuel flows fast through the injection system as it is the case, for example, in the spray holes of an injector nozzle.
- the use of alternative fuels in internal combustion engines affects in particular the supply of the alternative fuel to a combustion chamber.
- the supply path includes usually an injection pump systems and an injection nozzle system.
- Injection pump systems for supplying fuel to the injection nozzle systems are basically known. Injection pumps of conventional systems as well as common rail systems provide fuel under a high pressure and activate the injection process of the nozzle system with the proper timing. Usually, the injection nozzle systems are attached to a nozzle holder at the injection pump system.
- An example for a conventional fuel injection pump system is disclosed, e.g., in GB 2 260 374 A
- an example for a common rail fuel injection system is disclosed, e.g., in WO 2008/027123 Al .
- ceramic materials can be used in nozzle systems for, e.g., insulation purposes at the nozzle tip, see, for example, EP 1 256 715 A2 , EP 0961 024 B1 , and JP 58-143161 .
- Nozzle 10A includes a needle 12A and a one-piece injection nozzle body 14A.
- Nozzle body 14A is mounted via a sleeve nut 16A to a nozzle holder 18A.
- a high-pressure chamber 20A is formed in the center of nozzle 10A between needle 12A and nozzle body 14A.
- Fuel supply channels (not shown) provide, for example, HFO to high-pressure chamber 20A.
- needle 12A is moved to open a fuel path from high-pressure chamber 20A to a blind hole 22A and then through nozzle spray holes 24A into a combustion chamber (not shown).
- Coolant supply conduits 26A provide a coolant for a circular coolant path 28A within the tip of nozzle body 14A.
- Nozzle 10B includes a needle 12B, a needle guide member 14B, and a hardened steel hood 30B.
- a double threaded nut 32B provides a thread to interact with a nozzle holder 18B as well as with hardened steel hood 30B.
- a high-pressure chamber 20B is position close to an injection end of nozzle 10B and connected via a fuel supply conduit 34B with a fuel supply source (not shown).
- a gap 36B in-between needle guide member 14B and hardened steel hood 30B is used for circulating coolant within the injection end of nozzle 10B. The coolant is supplied via coolant supply conduits from a coolant reservoir (not shown).
- the present disclosure is directed, at least in part, to improving or overcoming one or more aspects of the related prior art and particularly to provide a nozzle system for use with alternative fuels.
- an injection nozzle system may comprise a needle, a needle guide member configured to guide the needle between a fuel injection state and a closed state of the injection nozzle system, and a nozzle hood configured to essentially surround the needle guide member with the exception of a face of the needle guide member at a nozzle holder side of the injection nozzle system.
- the nozzle hood may comprise a blind hole fluidly connected to a high pressure fuel path of the injection nozzle system and via a plurality of nozzle spray holes to an outside of the nozzle hood.
- the nozzle hood and the needle guide member may contact each other at a first sealing zone and at a second sealing zone and form a gap between the hood and the needle guide member and the gap may extend from the first sealing zone to the second sealing zone, and the injection nozzle system may comprise further a pressure relief path connecting the gap with an outside of the injection nozzle system at the nozzle holder side.
- a method for operating an injection nozzle system mounted to a nozzle holder may comprise a needle, a needle guide member configured to guide the needle between a fuel injection state and a closed state of the injection nozzle system, a nozzle hood configured to essentially surround the needle guide member with the exception of a nozzle holder side face of the needle guide member at a nozzle holder side of the injection nozzle system, the nozzle hood comprising a blind hole fluidly connected to a high pressure fuel path of the injection nozzle system and to an outside of the nozzle hood via a plurality of nozzle spray holes, wherein in the mounted state, the nozzle hood and the needle guide member contact each other at a first sealing zone and at a second sealing zone, and a gap is formed between the hood and the needle guide member and extends from the first sealing zone to the second sealing zone, and a pressure relief path connecting the gap with an return fuel path within the nozzle holder.
- the method may comprise the steps of supplying pressurized fuel to the blind hole to be ejected through the nozzle spray holes by operating the needle between the fuel injection state and the closed state of the injection nozzle system, and guiding fuel, which leaks from the blind hole through the first sealing zone into the gap, along the pressure relief path to the nozzle holder, thereby avoiding or at least reducing or delaying any buildup of a pressure within the gab.

- the disclosure may be based in part on the discovery that the corrosive and abrasive effects of alternative fuel can affect in particular surfaces subject to fast flowing fuel, e.g., the nozzle spray holes of an injection nozzle system and specifically the transition regions from a blind hole wall to nozzle spray hole walls.
- any modification of the flow parameters due to corrosion and abrasion can affect the combustion process as operating parameters of the injection pump system are usually only set once at the end of the manufacturing process.
- a ceramic nozzle hood configured to be used in an injection nozzle system is disclosed that can provide nozzle spray holes at an injector side and a mounting collar at a nozzle holder side.
- Spray holes in a ceramic hood can provide the required resistance against physical abrasion and chemical corrosion when used with, for example, alternative fuels such as pyrolysis oil.
- the specific configuration of the ceramic nozzle hood and how it is mounted can allow using the injection nozzle system with conventional nozzle holders, thereby simplifying, for example, the adaptation of a nozzle pump system to the use with alternative fuels.
- using the ceramic nozzle hood can allow replacement of the ceramic nozzle hood, if required, without replacing other parts of the nozzle system.
- an injection nozzle system applies a configuration of a two-piece injector body with a high pressure chamber arranged close to a nozzle holder side of the injection nozzle system.
- the high pressure chamber can be connected via a high pressure bore having an angle with respect to a longitudinal axis of about 20° or more.
- the injection nozzle system further can include a needle guided by two needle guiding zones configured to properly centralize the needle with respect to a valve seat.
- an injection nozzle system that provides a pressure relief path partly between the hood and the needle guide member.
- the pressure relief path can avoid braking of a nozzle hood in the case that the sealing between the nozzle hood and a needle guide member cannot be completely achieved or is partly reduced during operation of an internal combustion engine using the injection nozzle system.
- Fig. 1 shows a non-limiting example of an internal combustion engine system with an injection nozzle system.
- the internal combustion engine system can include, for example, an engine with a cam injection pump for a conventional pump-line-nozzle injection or an engine with a common rail injection, which can be operated more flexible, e.g., adjust an injection pressure, a rail pressure, the injection timing, the number and type of injections (e.g., pre- and post-injections).
- the internal combustion engine system can include a reservoir 1 for an alternative fuel such as pyrolysis oil and an internal combustion engine 5.
- Internal combustion engine 5 can be configured to operate, for example, with a mixture of the pyrolysis oil with additives such as mineral oil, synthetic oil, natural oil, and/or a lubricant. Accordingly, the internal combustion engine system can optionally include one or more of reservoirs 2, 3 for the additives.
- the internal combustion engine system can further include a homogenizer 4.
- An inlet 4A of homogenizer 4 can be connected via corresponding lines 1A, 2A, and 3A with reservoirs 1, 2, and 3, respectively.
- Internal combustion engine 5 can include at least one fuel injection pump 5A connected via one or more lines 4C with an outlet 4B of homogenizer 4, at least one nozzle system 5B and at least one combustion chamber 5C.
- Nozzle system 5B can be supplied with the pressurized alternative fuel by fuel injection pump 5A and can be configured to spray, e.g., a mixture of the pyrolysis oil, the mineral oil, the synthetic oil, the natural oil, and/or the lubricant into combustion chamber 5C.
- a stationary or mobile power system can include for inline configurations 4, 6, 7, 8 or 9 combustion chambers with one or more associated fuel injection pumps and respective nozzle systems, while a V-configuration of an internal combustion engine can include 12 or 16 combustion chambers with one or more fuel injection pumps and respective nozzle systems.
- FIG. 2 shows a cut view of an exemplary embodiment of an injection nozzle system 10 adapted for injecting an alternative fuel such as pyrolysis oil into a combustion chamber.
- Injection nozzle system 10 can induce a needle 12, a needle guide member 14 (separately shown in Figs. 3 to 5 ), and a ceramic hood 30 (separately shown in Figs. 6 and 7 ).
- Needle guide member 14 and ceramic hood 30 can form a two-piece injector body. Ceramic hood 30 can surround needle guide member 14 with the exception of a collar 40 of needle guide member 14 at a nozzle holder side of injection nozzle system 10 and the associated end face of needle guide member 14. At an injection side of injection nozzle system 10, ceramic hood 30 can provide a blind hole partly enclosing a blind hole section 22 and comprise nozzle spray holes 24 in the wall of the blind hole.
- the wall of the blind hole may be rotational symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis 23 of injection nozzle system 10, e.g. the wall may be bell-shaped, shaped as a half-sphere, or a closed cylinder. Alternatively, the wall may not be rotational symmetrical, e.g. in the form of a cube that is open at one side.
- Needle 12 can be positioned in a bore 19 of needle guide member 14 (see Figs. 3 and 4 ). Needle 12 can further be movable along bore 19, i.e. needle 12 is guided by needle guide member 14 between a fuel injecting (open) state and a sealed (closed) state of injection nozzle system 10. The sealed state is shown in Fig. 2 .
- a mount 16 can interact with a nozzle holder 18, for example, via a thread connection (not shown).
- Mount 16 can be configured to pull ceramic hood 30 towards nozzle holder 18.
- mount 16 is a one-sided threaded nut such as sleeve nut 16A of conventional nozzle 10A shown in Fig. 12 .
- mount 16 can act onto a mount contact face 27 of a collar 38 of ceramic hood 30.
- ceramic hood 30 can contact needle guide member 14 at first at a first sealing zone 29 at the injection side of injection nozzle system 10 and then at a second sealing zone 31 at the nozzle holder side of injection nozzle system 10.
- Collar 40 of needle guide member 14 can extend between collar 38 of ceramic hood 30 and nozzle holder 18. Applying a force onto collar 40 via collar 38 towards nozzle holder 18 can allow forming a seal by tightly contacting opposing surfaces of needle guide member 14 and nozzle holder 18.
- two blind holes 49 can be provided in needle guide member 14 to hold bolts that ensure the proper relative position between needle guide member 14 and nozzle holder 18.
- Nozzle holder 18 can be configured to interact with injection nozzle system 10 adapted for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber.
- nozzle holder 18 or a pump control system can include elements configured to open and/or close a valve that is formed at the injection side of injection nozzle system 10.
- the valve e.g., comprises a valve seat 44 of needle guide member 14 and the tip section of needle 12.
- nozzle holder 18 can provide a force via a stud 42 onto needle 12 that counteracts the force onto needle 12 caused by the supplied pressurized fuel.
- a spring (not shown) provides the force that acts via stud 42 onto needle 12 to close the valve by pressing needle 12 onto valve seat 44 thereby sealing an opening of valve seat 44.
- the force is applied by a pressurized hydraulic system (not shown).
- Bore 19 can be shaped to form a high pressure fuel chamber 20 between needle 12 and needle guide member 14.
- High pressure chamber 20 can be located close to the nozzle holder side of injection nozzle system 10, e.g. within the first third of the nozzle system 10.
- High pressure chamber 20 can be connected via, e.g., one, two or more high pressure supply bores 46 (two high pressure supply bores are shown, e.g., in the top view of needle guide member 14 of Fig. 3 ) with corresponding high pressure supply conduits 48 of nozzle holder 18.
- High pressure supply conduits 48 can be connected with sources of pressurized fluids, e.g., the alternative fuel and/or additives that are usually provided by an injection pump system.
- Needle guide member 14 can be dimensioned such that it does not deform when fuels under high pressure are supplied into high pressure supply bores 46, high pressure chamber 20, and bore 19.
- high pressure supply bores 46 extend at a steep angle with respect to longitudinal axis 23 of injection nozzle system 10.
- high pressure supply bores 46 can extend at an angle larger than 20°, for example, 25°, 30°, 35° or 40° with respect to longitudinal axis 23.
- the two-piece injector body can result further in that the position of high pressure chamber 20 is close to the nozzle holder side of injection nozzle system 10.
- high pressure chamber 20 is positioned within the nozzle holder half next to nozzle holder 18, e.g. at about one third or one fourth of the length of needle guide member 14.
- the cut view of needle guide member 14 of Fig. 4 illustrates the position of high pressure chamber 20 at about 20% of the length of needle guide member 14.
- needle guide member 14 is cut along the line IV-IV shown in Fig. 3 , i.e. through one of high pressure supply bores 46 and a drainage 70.
- drainage 70 can constitute together with the gap between ceramic hood 30 and needle guide member 14 and leakage passages 72 and 74 (shown in Fig. 5 ) a pressure relief path 76 (shown in Fig. 2 ).
- first needle guiding section 80 at the nozzle holder side of nozzle system 10.
- needle 12 and in particular a needle collar 50 can provide a seal for the pressurized fuel in high pressure chamber 20 in direction of nozzle holder 18.
- first needle guiding section 80 and therefore of collar 50 can be restricted in the configuration of the two-piece injector body, the leakage through the seal towards nozzle holder 18 can be slightly increased compared to a longer needle guiding section.
- an increased leakage can have the advantage that a steady leaking flow of the fuel can be ensured and thereby solidification of the fuel in an outer drainage line (not shown) can be avoided, specifically for the case that the internal combustion engine is not operated and, for example, has cooled down.
- a second needle guiding section 82 at the injection side of needle 12 can be provided to assist the centering of needle 12 on valve seat 44.
- needle 12 can contact needle guide member 14 at first needle guiding section 80 and second needle guiding section 82 and in the sealed valve state additionally at needle seat 44.
- Bore 19 and needle 12 can be further configured to provide a high pressure fuel path from high pressure chamber 20 to valve seat 44.
- the high pressure fuel path accordingly can pass through second needle guiding section 82, which, for example, is formed by two, three or more, e.g. planes or ridges contacting the wall of bore 19 and having fuel channels 84 in between.
- valve seat 44 of needle guide member 14 can be sealed by the tip of needle 12 thereby controlling the injection of the alternative fuel.
- blind hole section 22 can be enclosed by ceramic hood 30 (with the exception of the opening of the blind hole).
- Ceramic hood 30 is shown in detail in Figs. 6 and 7.
- Fig. 6 shows a side view of ceramic hood 30 with collar 38
- Fig. 7 shows a cut view along the line VII-VII indicated in Fig. 6 .
- Blind hole section 22 can be fluidly connected via spray holes 24 to the outside of ceramic hood 30, i.e. in the mounted state to the inside of the combustion chamber (cylinder head).
- a wall of a cylinder head is indicated by dashed lines 56 and 58.
- a high pressure seal can be formed between needle guide member 14 and ceramic hood 30 in first sealing zone 29.
- pressurized fuel can only leave blind hole section 22 through spray holes 24 and the fuel can eject with high speed through spray holes 24.
- the high corrosive and abrasive feature of the alternative fuel can be supplemented with a high mechanical abrasion of the fast flowing alternative fuel and the small sized particles carried along with it.
- Ceramic hood 30 being made of engineering ceramics such as zirconium oxide or aluminum oxide can be configured to resist the chemical corrosive and mechanical abrasive attack.
- the configuration of the two-piece injector body can allow replacing only ceramic hood 30 while keeping needle 12 and needle guide member 14 unchanged.
- injection nozzle system 10 can reach through the wall of the cylinder head.
- a cylinder head contact face 60 of ceramic hood 30 can contact the wall of the cylinder head or a bushing (e.g. a stainless steel sleeve) inserted into a hole of the wall of the cylinder head. Accordingly, only an end face 62 of ceramic hood 30 that includes spray holes 24 can be exposed to the inside of the combustion chamber and can experience directly the heat and pressure caused by the combustion process in the combustion chamber.
- using an engineering ceramic for ceramic hood 30 can provide thermal insulation of nozzle system 10 from heat generated in the combustion chamber.
- the use of a ceramic hood can avoid the necessity of a cooling system adapted for cooling injection nozzle system 10. This can in particular be the case for alternative fuels, which are supplied at a relatively low temperature of about 60°C in contrast to HFO supplied at 150°C.
- ceramic hood 30 can be a separate part with spray holes 24 having a diameter of, e.g., about 0.7 to 0.8 mm.
- the specific shape of spray holes 24 can be essential for the injection process. This can be in particular the case for conventional pump-line-nozzle injection systems, which require an initial adjustment of the pump parameters for a specific spray hole configuration.
- changes of the shape of spray holes 24 due to abrasive and corrosive wear can affect directly the fuel distribution in the combustion chamber and, therefore, the combustion process such as efficiency and soot formation because an adjustment of the pump parameters is usually not possible.
- common rail injection systems can be sensitive for geometrical changes due to abrasive and corrosive wear of the shape of spray holes 24.
- ceramic hood 30 can be mounted as a separate part and can enclose essentially the complete needle guide member 14 with the exception of one face (for contacting the nozzle holder) and collar 40.
- ceramic hood 30 can be not in contact with needle guide member 14 with the exception that there can be contact at first sealing zone 29 and second sealing zone 31 in the mounted state.
- Some loose contact may exist at a first guiding collar 71 and a second guiding collar 73, which include leakage passages 72 and 74, respectively.
- the surface of ceramic hood 30 is, for example, grinded to avoid any force transmission from needle guide member 14 at those collars 71 and 73.
- ceramic hood 30 can be mounted under tensile stress between first sealing zone 29 and second sealing zone 31.
- the length between a first member contact face 90 and a second member contact face 92 of ceramic hood 30 (which are adapted for contacting needle guide member 14) is shorter than the length between s first hood contact face 94 and a second hood contact face 96 of needle guide member 14 (which are adapted for contacting ceramic hood 30) by a predefined amount.
- the predefined amount can be chosen such that when ceramic hood 30 is pulled towards nozzle holder 18 and is in contact with second hood contact face 96 of needle guide member 14, the tensile force within ceramic hood 30 can be preferably still in the range of elastic behavior but can provide a sufficient sealing between hood 30 and needle guide member 14 and needle guide member 14 and nozzle holder 18.
- nozzle holder 18 and needle guide element 14 may be subject to a larger force applied by mount 16, ceramic hood 30 can then only be subject to a predefined tensile stress.
- the predefined tensile stress can be below a critical tensile stress, thereby ensuring safe operation of nozzle system 10.
- hood 30 can comprise, at the nozzle holder side of hood 30, collar 38 that can have a second member contact face 92 and mount contact face 27 on opposite sides. Faces 92 and 27 can extend essentially in a radial direction with respect to longitudinal axis 23. Moreover, hood 30 can comprise, at the injection side of hood 30, first member contact face 90 on an inner surface of hood 30 and first member contact face 90 can have an opening and extending essentially in a radial direction with respect to longitudinal axis 23. Moreover, hood 30 can form blind hole section 22 of the inner chamber at the injection side of hood 30. Blind hole section 22 can be fluidly connected to the inside of hood 30, e.g., via an opening in the first member contact face 90, and to an outside of hood 30 via a plurality of nozzle spray holes 24.
- the blind hall section 22 being a part of the inner chamber formed by the nozzle hood 30 is fluidly connected with the remaining section (volume) of the inner chamber.
- the fluid connection between the blind hole section 22 and the remaining section passes through, e.g. the center of first sealing zone 29 along longitudinal axis 23.
- hood 30 can comprise a region in which the radial extension of hood 30 is changed. There, an inclined face 98 can extend at an angle smaller than 50°, e.g., 40°, 35°, 30°, 25°, 20°, or 15°, with respect to longitudinal axis 23 for providing a smooth change of geometry in that region. In that central region, hood 30 can further comprise cylinder head contact face 60 on the outer surface of hood 30 extending essentially orthogonal with respect to longitudinal axis 23.
- hood 30 can be cylindrically shaped, and at least one of first member contact face 90, mount contact face 27, second member contact face 92 and cylinder head contact face 60 can be ring-shaped.
- an inclined face 98 can provide a smooth transmission of force within ceramic hood 30 and, thereby, smoothens the stress profile.
- first member contact face 90 can be configured to form a high pressure sealing with first hood contact face 94 of needle guide member 14, when a force is applied onto mount contact face 27 in direction of the nozzle holder side of hood 30.
- a distance between first member contact face 90 and second member face 92 of hood 30 can be less than a distance between corresponding faces 94, 96 of the needle guide member 14, thereby providing a tensile stress within hood 30 in a mounted state of injection nozzle system 10.
- drainage 70 can provide together with leakage passages 72 and 74 (shown in Fig. 5 ) a pressure relief path 76 (shown in Fig. 2 ).
- maximum pressures in the range of, e.g., about 1500 bar to 1700 bar can occur within injection nozzle system 10. If a proper high pressure seal can be maintained in first sealing zone 29 during operation, only the small inside surface of the blind hole forming blind hole section 22 of ceramic hood 30 is subject to those pressures.
- those pressures of the pressurized fuel can act onto the large inside surface of ceramic hood 30.
- the relevant surface subject to the maximum pressure along longitudinal axis 23 corresponds essentially to the diameter of ceramic hood 30 (without collar 38). The resulting large force can then destroy ceramic hood 30 if no countermeasures are taken.
- Injection nozzle system 10 therefore can provide pressure relief path 76 to release any leaking fuel along an unpressurized path.
- any fuel leaking through first sealing zone 29 can pass through the gap between needle guide element 14 and ceramic hood 30 in direction of nozzle holder 18.
- drainage 70 can guide the fuel towards collar 50 of needle 12, where pressure relief path 76 can combine with a leakage path through first needle guiding section 80.
- pressure relief path 76 can allow a controlled removal of the fuel.
- a pressure relief path 176 is illustrated in an injection nozzle system 110 that can be applied alternatively or additionally with pressure relief path 76.
- pressure relief path 176 can distinguish from pressure relief path 76 with respect to drainage 70.
- pressure relief path 176 can include an axial pressure relief bore 176A within a needle guide member 114 and a radial pressure relief channel 176B in a contact zone 177 of needle guide member 114 and nozzle holder 18 that can extend radially inward towards needle 12.
- axial pressure relief bore 176A can extend in axial direction parallel to longitudinal axis 23 through collar 140 approximately at a radial distance corresponding to the inner diameter of hood 30 at the nozzle holder side.
- Radial pressure relief channel 176B can be formed, for example, as a groove on the face of needle guide member 114 contacting needle holder 18.
- a pressure relief path 276 is illustrated for an injection nozzle system 210 that can be applied alternatively or additionally with one or both pressure relief paths 76 and 176.
- pressure relief path 276 can distinguish from those paths with respect to drainage 70 and pressure relief bore 176A.
- pressure relief path 276 can include surface pressure relief channel 276A that can extend in the plane of the cut view of Fig. 9 along the surface of collar 240 of needle guide member 214.
- the herein disclosed concept of a pressure relief path can also be applied with two-piece injector bodies that use non-ceramic nozzle hoods.
- the configuration of the two-piece injector body can also allow an additional implementation of a cooling system to provide cooling and prevent any damage to the injection nozzle system.
- a cooling system to provide cooling and prevent any damage to the injection nozzle system.
- Such cooling can prevent, for example, damaging valve seat 44 or weakening the high pressure seal in first sealing zone 29 between needle guide member 14 and hood 30 in Fig. 2 .
- a cooling system can absorb leakage through first sealing zone 29 next to valve seat 44 and, therefore, can include additionally the functionality of a high pressure relief path to avoid destruction of ceramic hood 30 due to over pressure. In that case, a pressure relief path as discussed above in connection with Figs. 2 , 8 , and 9 may not be required.
- a cut view of a nozzle system 310 illustrates an example of an injection nozzle system 310 with exemplary coolant system.
- the coolant system can be based on circulating a coolant along a supply path, a coolant circulation ring, e.g. a gap 336, and a return path similar to the supply path (not shown in the cut view of Fig. 6 ).
- the supply path includes, for example, a coolant supply 332 within a nozzle holder 318, a coolant bore 334 within a needle guide member 314, and a coolant supply channel 335, e.g. a groove on the surface of needle guide member 314.
- the coolant circulation ring can extend at the injection side of nozzle system 310 between a ceramic hood 330 and needle guide member 314.
- a further embodiment of an injection nozzle system 410 is shown.
- a ceramic hood 430 can be reduced in overall length and a collar 440 of needle guide member 414 is made respectively longer. Accordingly, a modified mount 416 (compared to mount 16) may be required when injection nozzle system 410 is used with conventional nozzle holder 18.
- a needle guidance section 480 can have also a longer longitudinal extension and thereby increase its capability to guide needle 412.
- a second needle guidance section 482 may or may not be required.
- the position of a high pressure chamber 420 can be closer to the middle of nozzle system 410 and the angle between a high pressure supply bore 446 and the longitudinal axis 23 can be reduced.
- a pressure relief path 476 is illustrated exemplarily in Fig. 11 but can also be configured similar to the pressure relief paths shown in Figs. 8 and 9 .
- the concept of the pressure relief path is not restricted to the configuration shown in, e.g., Fig. 2 , in which ceramic hood 30 essentially surrounds needle guide member 14, but can also be applied to other configurations of two-piece injector bodies that provide a gap between a ceramic hood and a needle guide member.
- materials for use with alternative fuels can have an increased corrosion resistance.
- the materials preferably are sufficiently resistant with respect to slow flowing fuels (reduced mechanical abrasion compared to the spray holes) and with respect to the chemical exposure to the acidity (i.e., to a low pH value) of e.g. alternative fuels.
- Exemplary materials for needle guide members and for needles include tempered tool steel and, in particular, austenitic steel, e.g. cobalt-chromium steel.
- austenitic steel e.g. cobalt-chromium steel.
- all or selected sections of the surfaces of the needles or needle guide members can be coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC).
- DLC diamond-like carbon
- Exemplary materials for the hoods include engineering ceramics such as oxide ceramics and non-oxide ceramics or other ceramic materials that are resistant against corrosion and abrasion by e.g. acidic alternative fuels (or a combination of two or more of those materials).
- oxide ceramics include aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, aluminium titanate, titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide (including, e.g., partially stabilized (PSZ), fully stabilized (FSZ), and tetragonal zirconia polychristal (TSZ)).
- PSZ partially stabilized
- FSZ fully stabilized
- TSZ tetragonal zirconia polychristal
- non-oxide ceramics examples include carbides and nitrides.
- Exemplary carbides include silicium carbide (SiC) (e.g., recrystallized SiC, nitride bonded SiC, pressureless sintered SiC, silicon infiltrated SiC, hot pressed SiC, hot isostatically pressed SiC, liquid phase sintered SiC), boron carbide, and tungsten carbide.
- Exemplary nitrides include silicon nitride (SN) (e.g., sintered SN, reaction-bonded SN, hot pressed SN), silicon oxy-nitride, aluminium nitride, boron nitride, and titanium nitride.
- the hood may also be made of the materials discussed above for the needle and/or the needle guiding member.
- one or more of the various faces extending in a radial extension in the disclosed embodiments may include sections that do not extend in a radial extension or may even itself extend at an angle of e.g. 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30° with respect to the radial direction (which is e.g. orthogonal to the longitudinal direction 23 shown in Fig. 2 ).
- Exemplary dimensions for an injection nozzle system disclosed herein can include a length of the hood and needle guide element of about 100 mm, an outer diameter of the hood of about 40 mm, a wall thickness of the ceramic hood of about 5 mm.
- the difference in length discussed above for the hood and the needle guide member in the unmounted state is, for example, 1/10.000 of the length of the hood, i.e. the ceramic hood stretches by several ten micrometer.
- the ceramic hood can generally also be shaped to extend at least partly over the collar, e.g., collar 40 in Fig. 4 , specifically beyond second hood contact face 96 onto the radial outside face of collar 40.
- a hood may only not cover the face of the needle guide element directed to the nozzle holder.
- a hood with a distance between the needle guide member contacting faces that is as large as possible to increase the effective length of the hood onto which the tensile stress can be distributed.
- the relative difference in the distance between the respective contact faces of the needle guide member and the ceramic hood can provide a predefined pretension of the hood and, therefore, a predefined sealing force.
- this relative difference can vary for optimal sealing.
- the herein disclosed relative difference in length can take also into consideration that the mounting of, e.g., injection nozzle system 10 to the cylinder head can cause an additional stress onto, e.g., ceramic hood 30 via cylinder head contact face 60, which may also affect the stress profile within ceramic hood 30.
- the disclosed nozzle systems may allow maintaining an outer shape of a conventional nozzle system such as conventional nozzle system 10A shown in Fig. 10 .
- the disclosed nozzle systems can thereby simplify the modification of injection systems adapted for use with alternative fuels such as pyrolysis oil.
- the disclosed nozzle system can fulfill geometric boundary conditions of known nozzle system, thereby simplifying a replacement of a conventional nozzle system with the herein disclosed nozzle systems.
- large internal combustion engine may refer to internal combustion engines which may be used as main or auxiliary engines of stationary power providing systems such as power plants for production of heat and/or electricity as well as in ships/vessels such as cruiser liners, cargo ships, container ships, and tankers.
- internal combustion engine as used herein is not specifically restricted and comprises any engine, in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer to produce high temperature and pressure gases, which are directly applied to a movable component of the engine, such as pistons or turbine blades, and move it over a distance thereby generating mechanical energy.

KG, Kiel, Germany, operated in a range of 500 to 1000 rpm.
- injection nozzle systems may comprise a needle, a needle guide member comprising a bore configured for guiding the needle between a fuel injection state and a closed state of the injection nozzle system, and a nozzle hood, e.g., a ceramic nozzle hood, surrounding essentially the needle guide member with the exception of a face of the needle guide member at a nozzle holder side of the injection nozzle system.
- the nozzle hood may comprise a blind hole fluidly connected via an opening to a high pressure fuel path of the injection nozzle system and via a plurality of nozzle spray holes to an outside of the hood at an injection side of the injection nozzle system.
- the bore of the needle guide member may be configured to provide a high pressure chamber within an upper third of the needle guide member next to the nozzle holder side and a high pressure supply bore may be configured to connect the high pressure chamber with the face of the needle guide member at the nozzle holder side and to be inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the nozzle system at an angle greater than 20°.
- injection nozzle systems can further include, for example, one or more of the following features.
- the supply bore can be connected to the high pressure chamber at a position that is located at 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, or 15% of the length of the needle guide member measured from the nozzle holder side.
- the high pressure supply bore can be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle system at an angle greater than 25°, 30°, 35° or 40°.
