Description

WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -1 FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED ENGINE Field of the Invention 5 This invention relates to a fuel delivery system for measuring fuel usage in an electronically controlled engine. Background of the Invention 10 Our International Application Nos. PCT/AU02/00453 and PCT/AU2003/000971 disclose fuel delivery systems for the concurrent delivery of a liquid gas fuel and diesel fuel to an engine. The primary purpose of adding concurrently liquid gas fuel is to reduce the amount of more expensive 15 diesel fuel which is used without compromising performance. In order to properly deliver both the diesel and liquid gas fuel, it is necessary to measure precisely the diesel 20 usage in the engine. If the correct amount of diesel fuel can be monitored, then the correct amount of liquid gas fuel can then be concurrently supplied. Summary of the Invention 25 The invention provides a fuel delivery system for measuring first fuel usage in an electronically controlled engine, comprising: a fuel delivery device for delivering the first fuel, the device including an injector and a lead for 30 supplying power to the injector to cause the injector to open and close to supply the first fuel to the engine; a second fuel delivery device for delivering a second fuel to the engine; a non-invasive measurement device for monitoring 35 the injector open time; and a processor for calculating the amount of primary fuel supplied to the engine from the open time of the WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -2 injector. Thus, according to the invention, the amount of primary fuel delivered to the engine can be calculated and 5 therefore, a calculation can be made as to the proper amount of secondary fuel which is required. Furthermore, because the measurement device is non-invasive, the monitoring is performed without disturbing the electrical system of the engine which may otherwise cause an 10 electronic control unit of the engine to show an electronic fault. Preferably the measurement device comprises an inductive loop wrapped around the lead. 15 However, in other embodiments, the device may comprise a Hall effect sensor. Preferably the processor comprises a signal processing 20 board which receives a measurement signal from the inductive loop when current pulses are supplied by an electronic control unit to the lead and to the injector to open the injector. 25 Most preferably the measurement of the injector open time is performed by monitoring the signature of an inductive in rush current at the start of injection by the injector and then timing until the end of the pulsing that occurs during the injector opening time, the end of pulsing being 30 determined when no further pulses are detected for a predetermined time period after identification of the inductive in rush current. Preferably the signal processing board supplies an output 35 to a liquid gas control unit for determining the instantaneous first fuel usage and so the control unit can therefore determine the required amount of liquid gas and WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -3 control the second fuel delivery device to deliver that amount of liquid gas fuel. The output may be an analogue voltage, a digital code, a 5 serial communication or an automotive CAN bus signal. The invention may also be said to reside in a monitoring device for monitoring fuel usage in an electronic controlled engine having an injector for delivering the 10 fuel to the engine, and a lead for supplying power to open and close the injector to allow the fuel to be supplied to the engine, comprising: a device for determining injector open time; and a processor for receiving a signal from the 15 device so that the amount of fuel usage can be determined from the opening time of the injector. Brief Description of the Drawings A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described, 20 by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of the invention; Figure 2 and Figure 3 are graphs showing signal 25 pulses for opening an injector in Figure 1. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment With reference to Figure 1, a fuel delivery system for a diesel engine is shown. The diesel engine has an air 30 inlet 1, a combustion chamber 3, an exhaust outlet 4, a crank shaft 5, and a piston 2. An inlet valve 7 is provided for supply of air to the engine, and an outlet valve 9 is provided for exhaust of gas from the engine. These components of the engine are conventional and 35 therefore need not be described in any further detail. A diesel fuel injector 6 is provided for supplying diesel WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -4 fuel to the combustion chamber 3. The injector 6 is connected to a diesel electronic control unit 9 by a lead 11. Typically each cylinder of the engine will have its own injector 6 and therefore its own lead 11. Each lead 5 11 is supplied with an inductive coil 10 which is wound around the lead 11 but otherwise does not interact with the electronic control system of the engine and therefore does not in any way disturb the electronic control system from its usual mode of operation. Thus, the coil 10 is 10 non-intrusive to the electronic circuitry which controls and opens the injector 6. The inductive loop 10 is connected to a signal processing board 12 by a lead 13. The electronic control unit 9 15 supplies pulses on lead 11 for opening and closing the injector 6 so that when the injector 6 is open, fuel is supplied through the injector to the combustion chamber 3. The timing of the pulses and duration of the pulses is set by the electronic control unit 9 depending on the 20 operating conditions of the engine and pre-set parameters in the electronic control unit 9. When current pulses are supplied along the lead 11, these pulses are measured by the inductive loop 10 and the 25 inductive loop 10 produces an output signal on line 13 to signal processing board 12. The signal processing board 12 measures the open time duration of the solenoid 6 so that a calculation can be made as to the amount of diesel fuel usage in real time as the engine is operating. The 30 measurement is done by defining an injector solenoid open time by reading the signature of the inductive in rush current at the start of injection, and then timing until the end of the pulsing that occurs during the injector open time. The end of the injection pulses identified by 35 waiting after each pulse, so that when no pulse occurs for a predetermined period of time, the signal processing board identifies that no further pulses are going to occur WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -5 and at this point, the total length of the injection event is known. The signal processing board 12 then supplies an output 5 which is typically an analogue voltage between 0 and 5 volts as a measure of the open time of the injector 6. Figures 2 and 3 are graphs showing the output signal taken from the inductive coil 10 at engine idle and during 10 revving. The initial long pulse is easily identified in Figures 2 and 3 and represents the in rush current referred to above. The subsequent shorter pulses can also be seen. The signal picked up by the inductor 10 does not include any back EMF pulses and therefore the initial long 15 pulse and subsequent shorter pulses are easy to identify so that the commencement of opening time can be determined from the start of the in rush current and the end of the opening time after the final pulse is received and no additional pulse is received from a predetermined time 20 period. The fuel consumption by the engine from the opening and closing times of the injector 6 is calculated from the width of the injector pulses times the number of pulses in 25 a unit time. The fuel delivery system is also provided with a secondary fuel injector schematically shown at 20. The secondary fuel delivery system is more fully disclosed in our above 30 mentioned International applications, and the content of those applications is incorporated into this specification by this reference. The secondary fuel delivery system is a liquid gas injector for injecting liquid gas into the air inlet of the engine. The injector is controlled by an 35 electronic control unit 21 which may be the same as or different to the unit 9. The control unit 21 receives data from the processing board 12 indicative of the amount WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -6 of diesel fuel which is being used and controls the injector 20 in accordance with that data to supply the required amount of liquid gas fuel to the engine concurrently with the diesel fuel. 5 In the preferred embodiment of the invention the processing board 12 thereby provides an output to a main processor 30 which indicates the instantaneous diesel fuel usage and the processor 30 therefore determines the amount 10 of liquid petroleum gas fuel which is required to control the injector 20 to deliver that amount of fuel. However, if desired the control unit 9, the processing board 12, the control unit 21 and processor 30 could be combined into a single control unit which controls the diesel 15 injector 6 and liquid gas injector 20. In the arrangement shown in Figure 1, the control unit 21 receives separate signals indicative of engine revolutions per minute, manifold pressure, manifold air temperature 20 and fuel temperature and forwards that data to the main processor 30. The main processor 30 initially compares the RPM data and diesel fuel usage data with a stored table (LPG map) to provide a base liquid petroleum gas injection quantity which is required having regard to 25 these operating parameters. The base liquid petroleum gas injection quantity is then trimmed by the other inputs, namely the manifold pressure, manifold air temperature and fuel temperature having regard to respective calibration tables relating to those values to give an actual LPG 30 injection quantity. In practice, the amount of trimming will be very minor in comparison to the base liquid petroleum gas figure determined from engine RPM and diesel fuel usage. When the actual liquid petroleum gas figure is calculated, the information is then sent to the liquid 35 petroleum gas control unit 21 to cause that unit to control the firing of the injector 20 to deliver the required amount of liquid petroleum gas.
WO 2008/113099 PCT/AU2008/000131 -7 As previously mentioned, there is one lead 11 for each injector and each cylinder of the invention. However, only one of the leads 11 need be provided with the 5 inductive coil 10 as each lead 11 will be supplied with generally the same signal and therefore the amount of diesel usage for each cylinder can be calculated from only one of the leads 11. However, it would be possible to monitor each of the leads 11 with a coil 10 or several of 10 the leads in order to provide an instantaneous diesel usage figure for each of the cylinders. In another embodiment of the invention, rather than use an inductive coil 10 to monitor the opening time of the 15 injector 6, a Hall effect sensor could be used which monitors the magnetic field of the injector coil 6 directly. This will provide a similar signal indicative of the opening time of the injector 6. 20 Since modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention may readily be effected by persons skilled within the art, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiment described by way of example hereinabove. 25 In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word "comprise", or variations such as 30 "comprises" or "comprising", is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention.
