Simulation Study on the Influence of Injector Coupling Leakage on Fuel Injection

Abstract

Abstract In order to study the effect of fuel leakage of an ultra-high pressure common rail injector control valve coupling on fuel injection performance, a simulation model was established by AMESim and the accuracy was verified by fuel injection test data. The leakage law of couples with different clearances was analyzed by using numerical simulation method and then the influence of control valve coupling on fuel injection performance was analyzed. The results demonstrate that the increase of the matching clearance of the slide valve coupling makes the start time of needle valve advanced and delay its end time. The injection rate and injection duration increase with the increase of the matching clearance of slide valve coupling. The increase of the matching clearance of the control plunger coupling keeps the start time of the needle valve unchanged at first, and then delay slightly, while the end time remains unchanged at first, and then show the trend of advance. The injection rate and injection duration decrease with the increase of the matching clearance of plunger coupling.
