Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fuel supply system in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 comprising at least a fuel source and a high-pressure pump in flow communication therewith for raising the fuel pressure up to an increased pressure, at least two fuel injectors arranged in conjunction with engine cylinders, each of which injectors is in flow communication with the high- pressure pump, and where an individual pressure accumulator unit is connected to each fuel injector, respectively.
- an elongated pressure accumulator unit causes, among other things, vibration problems in the fuel pressure.
- EP 968367 B1 discloses a fuel injection arrangement, where a large uniform 20 space is divided into high-pressure lines leading to their respective injectors, where a pressure accumulator is provided. Even if this kind of an arrangement as such would decrease the pressure vibration in the fuel, it is not applicable in large engines using high-viscous fuel. When the engine is not running, fuel is stored in each separate accumulator and when chilled, the fuel becomes 25 stiff and does not flow freely enough for providing a troublefree running of the engine, when it is restarted.
- An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a fuel supply system, where the problems related to the prior art are minimized. ,30
- the fuel supply system in accordance with the invention comprises at least a
- the invention is mainly characterized in that at least one pressure accumulator unit is in connection with both the fuel injector and at least one other pressure accumulator unit for fuel.
- each of the latter pressure accumulator units for fuel in the flow direction of the fuel is preferably in flow communication with the pressure-increasing pump only via the former pres- sure accumulator unit in the flow direction of the fuel.
- the last pressure accumulator unit for fuel is in controllable flow communication with the fuel source via a separate return channel or the like, and provided with a valve.
- the fuel supply system comprises a plurality of pressure accumulator units, each of which is connected to its respec- tive fuel injector and to the next pressure accumulator unit in the flow direction of the fuel, except for the last one.
- the pressure-increasing pump is substantially in direct flow communication with only one pressure accumulator unit and each of the other pressure accu- mulator units is connected to the pressure accumulator unit preceding it in the flow direction of the fuel.
- the fuel supply system comprises preferably at least a third pressure accumulator unit after the pressure-increasing pump, through which accumulator unit all the fuel to be supplied is arranged to pass.
- the fuel circulation it is possible to arrange the fuel circulation so that in the flow circuit only very short ducts connecting the pressure accumulator units and the injectors will remain outside the circuit.
- most of the fuel may be circulated by the fuel supply system e.g. for preheating the fuel before the engine start.
- an efficient and quick-operated injection is provided by the adjacent location of the pressure accumulator units and in- jectors, and further, this may be combined with the efficient fuel circulation brought about by the interconnection.
- a highly applicable and advanta- geous arrangement is provided by this solution, especially for fuels with high viscosity.
- an equal injection rate to each cylinder is achieved, as the size of the pressure accumulator unit for each individual injection valve may be dimensioned optimally. When this kind of an arrangement is used, also the pressure vibrations are very small.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 2 shows schematically another embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a highly schematic illustration and it only shows the necessary elements for describing the basic idea of the present invention.
- the reference number 1 refers to the cylinders of the application of the invention, i.e. of a piston engine.
- the number of cylinders is four, but it is evident that the number of cylinders may vary, and it is also evident that for instance in so- called V-engines there are two cylinder rows next to each other.
- a fuel injector 2 is arranged in conjunction with each cylinder 1 .
- the supply system comprises a fuel source 3, such as a fuel tank, from which fuel is pumped through a fuel pipe 4 with the aid of a high-pressure pump 5 further on in the system to a pressure, which is higher than the pressure of the fuel source.
- the high- pressure pump 5 is via a fuel pipe 8 connected to a pressure accumulator unit 6, through which all the fuel to be supplied passes.
- the pressure accumulator unit 6 is provided with a connection to the pressure accumulator unit 7.1 of the first injector 2.1 in the flow direction of the fuel.
- the fuel passes to all injectors 2.1 - 2.N also through this pressure accumulator unit 7.1 .
- Each injector 2.1 . - 2.N is provided with its respective pressure accumulator unit 7.1 - 7.N connected by a relatively short duct 9.1 - 9.N.
- the pressure accumulator unit connected to the injector is in connection with both the fuel injector and another pressure accumulator unit for fuel in the flow direction of the fuel, except for the last pressure accumulator unit, whereby the pressure accumulator units 7.1 - 7.N are located in the branch point of a section of the fuel supply duct 8 and a section of the fuel duct 8 taking fuel to the next pressure accumulator unit, except for the last pressure accumulator unit 7.N, and the fuel duct 9.1 - 9.N taking fuel to the injector 2.1 - 2.N.
- a duct 9 from the last pressure accumulator unit 7.N leading back to the fuel source 3 is provided.
- the duct 9 is provided with a valve 10, by which the quantity of fuel circulating through the system may be adjusted. In V-engine application two rows would be connected to the pressure accumula- tor 6.
- the high-pressure pump 5 When the engine is started after a longer shut-down period the high-pressure pump 5 is started and valve 10 is opened and the fuel starts flowing.
- the fuel may be circulated by a fuel transfer pump, not shown here. While circulating through each accumulator unit 6, 7.1 ,7.N and duct 9 back to the tank 3 fuel heats up and it will run fluently enough for trouble-free operation of the engine.
- FIG 2 there is shown an embodiment which is otherwise corresponding to embodiment of Figure 1 but where several fuel injectors 21 ., 2.2,2.3;2.4, 2.5,2. N are connected to one pressure accumulator 7.1 ;7.N.
- This may be advantageous e.g. in smaller engines where the fuel ducts 9.1 - 9.N taking fuel to the injectors 2.1 - 2.N may still be substantially short.
