  • large combustion engine in this context means an engine such as those which may, for example, be used as main or auxiliary engines of ships or in power plants for production of heat and/or electricity.
  • the fuel injection system comprises a fuel pipe system provided with double walls.
  • the pipe system comprises an inner flow channel for fuel and an outer flow channel for possibly leaking fuel.

  • the leaking fuel detection arrangement comprises means for selectively connecting or disconnecting the outer flow channels of the pipe system with or from each other. In this manner, each section of pipe system to be inspected may be separated from the rest of the pipe system during the inspection, so that the locating of the leak is efficient.
  • the arrangement for locating the fuel leak comprises means for guiding the leaking fuel in the closed flow channel of the pipe system selectively forward or out of the pipe system for locating the leak.
  • the arrangement for locating the fuel leak comprises a configuration in which the fuel pipe system is branched.
  • the outer flow channels of several branch pipes are connectable to an outer flow channel of a common fuel supply pipe feeding fuel to the branch pipes or respectively to a common leaking fuel discharge flow channel.
  • the fuel injection system preferably comprises at least one pressure accumulator unit provided with the leaking fuel detection arrangement, the pressure accumulator unit comprising connecting channels arranged in the pressure accumulator.
  • the connecting channels are selectively connectable to outer flow channels of fuel pipe sections connected to pressure accumulator unit.
  • At least one action means may be provided in connection with the or each pressure accumulator unit, the operation of the leaking fuel detection arrangement being governed by co-operative action of said action means and/or said connecting channels.
  • the outer flow channels of fuel supply pipes and fuel delivery pipes are selectively connectable with the outer flow channel of fuel connection pipes.
  • An action means comprises an annular device surrounding the pressure accumulator unit.
  • the pressure accumulator unit includes flow channels capable of being selectively connected with the connecting channels by rotating the annular device, by co-operative action of which the flow of leaking fuel may be guided in the outer flow channel forward or out of the pipe system for locating the leak.
  • An action means comprises a screw, pin or the like provided in connection with a wall of the pressure accumulator unit and its connection pipes.
  • the position of the action means in relation to the pressure accumulator and the connecting channels is changeable. Based on said position, flow spaces for the leaking fuel are connectable or disconnectable with each other for guiding the leaking fuel selectively forward in the outer flow space of the fuel pipe system.
  • the position of the action means in relation to the pressure accumulator may also be arranged to be changed by the effect of the pressure of the leaking fuel.
  • the fuel detection arrangement according to the invention is particularly suitable for a fuel injection system which comprises a high pressure pump, by means of which fuel may be fed to a pressure supply comprising at least one pressure accumulator unit.
  • the fuel may be further fed from the pressure accumulator unit by means of injectors to cylinders of the engine.
  • the fuel supply pipes interconnect the high pressure pump and the pressure supply
  • fuel delivery pipes interconnect the pressure accumulator units and the injectors
  • a fuel connection pipe possibly interconnects several pressure accumulator units with each other.

  • the outer flow spaces are preferably selectively connectable with or disengageable from each other by means of at least one fuel leak detection arrangement in connection with the outer flow space of the pipe system.
  • the fuel pipe system is branched at the pressure accumulator unit, whereas the outer flow channels of several branch pipes are connectable with an outer flow channel of a common fuel supply pipe feeding fuel to the branch pipes or in some cases with a common leaking fuel outlet flow channel. In this way, a possible leak may be centralised and guided forward and is further detectable.
  • the fuel connection pipe of the fuel injection system is provided with a partition wall or the like, by means of which the outer flow channel is divided into two compartments.
  • One of the compartments has a pressure accumulator unit and injectors connected thereto as well as a fuel pump and the other compartment has another pressure accumulator unit and injectors connected thereto as well as fuel pump.
  • Both of the compartments are connected with a leaking fuel detection arrangement, which comprises means for selectively guiding the flow of leaking fuel forward in a separate discharge flow channel to a leaking fuel alarm device or out of the flow space for locating the leak. In this manner it is possible to find out in a very safe and assured manner from which pipe or from which pipe section the leaking fuel is coming by means of the leaking fuel detection arrangement.
  • the arrangement may also comprise two or several injection systems connected with each other by means of fuel connection pipes.
  • the invention provides several advantages.
  • the operational security of the engine is clearly better and on the other hand, the locating of leaking fuel is achieved in a safe manner. Additionally the leaking area may be isolated from the remainder of the pipe system and thus the locating of the leak is faster than by using known solutions.
  • FIG 1 schematically shows a section of a fuel injection system 1 of a large combustion engine 5, particularly a large diesel engine.
  • the combustion engine 5 has been illustrated in this context very schematically for clarity's sake, and it may be a commonly known large combustion engine.

  • the fuel injection system preferably comprises an assembly in which fuel is fed by means of a high pressure pump 6 to the pressure supply 10, which comprises at least two separate pressure accumulator units 9, and from which fuel is further fed into the cylinders of the engine 5 by means of injectors 8.
  • Each of the pressure accumulator units 9 is connected to at least two injectors 8 and is provided with a high pressure pump 6 of its own.
  • Fuel supply pipes 12 interconnect the high pressure pump 6 and the pressure supply 10
  • fuel delivery pipes 11 interconnect the pressure accumulator units 9 and the injectors 8, and fuel connection pipes 13 interconnect the pressure accumulator units 9 with each other.
  • At least the fuel supply pipes 12, delivery pipes 11 and fuel connection pipes 13 are provided with double walls 15, the outer flow spaces 16 of which are connectable with each other. In this manner, in the case of a leak at any location in the system the leaking fuel can be carried along the outer flow space 16 and a discharge flow channel 23 until the leaking fuel is detected at a fuel leak alarm device 17.
  • the fuel connection pipe 13 is provided with at least one leaking fuel detection arrangement 18 in connection with an outer flow channel 16 of the pipe system.
  • the leaking fuel detection arrangement 18 comprises means for selectively connecting or disengaging the outer flow channels of the pipe system with or from each other.

  • One of the compartments has a pressure accumulator unit and injectors connected thereto, as well as a fuel pump, and the other compartment has another pressure accumulator unit and injectors connected thereto as well as fuel pump.
  • the outer flow channel 16 of both of the compartments is connected with a leaking fuel detection arrangement 18.
  • the fuel detection arrangement 18 connected to the fuel connection pipe 13 is not, however, always necessary, as in some fuel feeding systems and engines the locating of the leak may be accomplished mainly by fuel detection arrangements 18', 18" or 18''' provided in connection with the pressure accumulator units 9 only.
  • FIGS 2 and 3 show two different mode of operation of the leak detection arrangement 18 provided in connection with the fuel connection pipe.
  • the leak detection arrangement 18 comprises a body-part 20, in which inlet flow channels 21a, 21b are arranged.
  • the inlet flow channels 21a, 21b are connected with outer flow space 16 of respective compartments.
  • the leaking fuel detection arrangement 18 further comprises an outlet flow channel 23 for guiding possible leaking fuel to the fuel alarm device 17, as well as connecting means 24 provided between each inlet flow channel 21a, 21b and outlet flow channel 23.
  • the connecting means serve to connect or disconnect flow either between inlet flow channel 21a, 21b and outlet flow channel 23 or between inlet flow channel 21a, 21b and leak detection channel 22a, 22b.
  • the connecting means 24 are movable between different connection positions, for example by means of threads, when the connecting means 24 are rotated.
  • the connection means 24 are at a position shown in Figure 3 i.e. at an outer position, in which possibly leaking fuel may flow from inlet flow channels 21a, 21b via outlet flow channels 23 down to leak alarm device 17.
  • the connecting means are provided with a means, such as gasket 25, for ensuring that possibly leaking fuel flows to the outlet flow channel in the situation shown in Figure 3, and is thus further detectable at the leak alarm device 17, and on the other hand also that in the checking mode of operation the flow connection is only between a pipe section to be checked and the leak detection channel 22a, 22b.
  • This kind of leak detection arrangement of different compartments may also be called a pre-detection arrangement, because it firstly enables a systematic survey of leaking compartments.
  • each connecting means 24 in the leak detection arrangement 18 is moved in turn into the checking position shown in Figure 2, by rotating the connecting means 24. In this way information is obtained, as to in which compartment(s) of the fuel injection system the leak is located. This may be shown as a light leaking fuel flow from the leak detection channel 22a, 22b.
  • the connecting means 24 has been designed such that in the position of Figure 3 the gasket 25 is at a position in which leaking fuel may not flow into outlet flow channel 23 and that possible leaks from other compartments in connection with the detection arrangement may not flow into the leak detection channel 22a, 22b of the compartment in question.
  • the locating of leak may be accomplished mainly by leaking fuel detectors 18', 18", 18"' provided in connection with pressure accumulator units 9 only, as will be later explained.

  • Connection channels 31 provided in the pressure accumulator units comprise the leaking fuel detection arrangement 18', the operation of which is governed by co-operative action of a separate action means and/or connection channels 31.
  • connection ring 26 In connection with the pressure accumulator unit a connection ring 26 is provided, comprising channels and grooves, by means of which the following operation may be accomplished.
  • the ring-like means i.e. the connection ring 26 comprises flow apertures 27, 28 to be brought into connection with connection channels of the pressure accumulator unit by rotating the ring.
  • the flow apertures By means of the flow apertures the flow of the leaking fuel may be guided forward in the outer flow channel of the fuel pipe system or out of the pipe system for locating the leak.
  • the connection ring In the normal situation the connection ring is at position A-A ( Figure 6), which corresponds to Figure 4.
  • the outer flow channels of the fuel pipes 11a, 11b, 12a are connected by a groove or corresponding channel 27 of the connection ring 26 with a channel 31 in pressure accumulator unit 9, through which the flow of leaking fuel is guided in the outer flow channel of the fuel pipe system further forward to leak alarm device 17.
  • the leaking fuel detection arrangement 18' comprises a branched fuel pipe system, in which the outer flow channels 16 of several branches are connected with an outer flow channel of a common fuel supply pipe 12 feeding fuel to the branch pipes. In this manner, it is possible to accomplish a very effective centralised leak detection.
