Description
- The present invention relates to a fuel injection valve in accordance with the preamble of
claim 1 and a method for fuel injection in accordance with the preamble of claim 8. - In fuel injection so-called needle valves are commonly utilized referring to valves generally used in the art having an elongated and relatively thin valve body. Fuel feed systems especially based on the use of a common pressure supply have become more popular and for instance heavy oil can also be used as a fuel. Particularly in said fuel feed systems based on a common pressure supply it is very important to have a well-controlled injection process. In order to secure operational safety it is also essential to be able to control the start of the injection and the combustion process efficiently.
- A common pressure supply system is disclosed in EP 959 245, in conjunction of which system the present invention can be applied with success and thereby the system disclosed herein improved. In this kind of a system there is always a high pressure prevailing in the common pressure supply, whereby a possible malfunction of the injection valve can cause fuel leakage into the cylinder.
- The aim of the present invention is to provide a new fuel injection valve and a method for fuel injection. The aim of the present invention is especially to provide a new injection valve arrangement applied particularly in fuel feed systems based on the use of a common pressure supply of a piston engine, which arrangement is reliable and enables enhanced control and monitoring of the combustion process.
- The aims of the invention are achieved principally as is described in more detail in
claims 1 and 8 as well as in the other independent claims. - A fuel injection valve according to the invention comprises a needle valve assembly arranged in a valve body and having a valve needle arranged to control the fuel injection into the cylinder of an engine from a fuel chamber located in the valve body. The fuel injection valve comprises a pressure sensing chamber arranged in communication with the fuel chamber of the needle valve assembly. In addition, pressure measuring means are arranged in communication with the pressure sensing chamber.
- The pressure sensing chamber is in conjunction with the fuel return conduit for conducting the discharged fuel away from the injection valve, whereby fuel is allowed to flow away from the pressure sensing chamber, according to need.
- The pressure sensing chamber is arranged to interact with the fuel chamber via first pressure reducing means, whereby the pressure in the pressure sensing chamber can be reduced to a level optimum for measuring the pressure. Preferably the pressure measuring means are within the pressure sensing chamber so that only substantial pressure loss is caused by the first pressure reducing means. Thus the pressure measuring means may be selected substantially based on circumstances provided by the first pressure reducing means in the pressure sensing chamber. Further, a check valve or similar is mounted between the pressure sensing chamber and the first pressure reducing means. Similarly, second pressure reducing means are mounted between the pressure sensing chamber and the fuel return conduit. The pressure reducing means generally comprise a bore, a nozzle, a flange or similar, of appropriate size. Especially the first pressure reducing means include a replaceable nozzle element or similar, where an orifice of appropriate size is arranged for providing a desired pressure loss.
- By the arrangement according to the invention the starting and ending moment of the injection can be monitored. The arrangement according to the invention is especially applicable to an injection arrangement utilizing a so called common rail pressure supply, whereby possible fuel leaks from the common rail pressure supply into the injection valve can be monitored by means of the invention. With the present invention it is possible to avoid dimensioning the pressure measuring means for excessively high pressures due to the utilization of the pressure reducing means between the fuel chamber and the pressure sensing chamber. This way the sensitivity of the arrangement remains high enough.
- In the following the invention is described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a needle valve assembly according to the invention; and
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a detail of the needle valve assembly according to the invention.
- In the figure the
reference number 1 indicates a valve body containing aneedle valve assembly 2. The valve body consists of two parts, and the lower part abutting acylinder 11 of an engine comprises a fuel chamber 5, from where the fuel is injected into thecylinder 11. The valve needle 2' of the needle valve assembly is arranged in connection with the fuel chamber 5. The fuel chamber 5 is via aduct 3 connected to a fuel supply 4 preferably being a common rail pressure supply. Based on its position the valve needle guides the fuel injection from the fuel chamber 5 into theengine cylinder 11. The valve needle assembly can include a solution known per se, operating in a known manner, and thereby the structure, operation or the control thereof is not disclosed herein. - According to the invention a
pressure sensing chamber 6 is arranged in thevalve body 1 and apressure measuring device 7 is mounted in conjunction therewith. The pressure measuring device measures the pressure in thepressure sensing chamber 6 and sends the measuring data to further processing in the engine control system (not shown). - The
pressure sensing chamber 6 is in connection with the fuel chamber 5 through an annular groove 5" and a duct 5'. The annular groove 5" can be uniform, i.e. open along its whole length around the longitudinal axis of the valve body, whereby thepressure sensing chamber 6 is in connection with the fuel chamber 5 through the duct 5', and with theduct 3 through the groove 5". The annular groove 5" can also be arranged to extend only partly around the longitudinal axis of the valve body, whereby thepressure sensing chamber 6 is in connection with theduct 3 through the fuel chamber 5. The annular groove is arranged between the upper and lower part of the valve body. In addition, thepressure sensing chamber 6 is connected to a fuel return conduit 8, through which the fuel discharged from the valve can flow out, e.g. back to the fuel tank (not shown). In thevalve body 1, between the fuel chamber 5 and thepressure sensing chamber 6, are arranged first pressure reducing means 9, by means of which the pressure in thepressure sensing chamber 6 can be reduced to a substantially lower level than the pressure prevailing in the fuel chamber 5. This way the sensitivity of the pressure measurement may be maintained adequately high. In this case, the pressure reducing means 9 may be accurately dimensioned and its effect on the pressure drop may be accurately predicted. Also by using the pressure reducing means 9, it is possible to select the operation range of thepressure measuring device 7 - Similarly, after the
pressure sensing chamber 6 second pressure reducing means 9' are provided. By choosing the first 9 and the second pressure reducing means 9' correctly, i.e. by dimensioning their flow resistances adequately, the pressure level in thepressure sensing chamber 6 can be adjusted to a level creating optimum conditions for pressure measuring. - The pressure reducing means 9, 9" can include for instance a bore, a nozzle, a flange or similar of appropriate size, by which some pressure loss is brought about in the fuel flow. Appropriate throttling can be determined experimentally for each nozzle and/or engine type, i.e. in each case individually. The first pressure reducing means 9 preferably comprise a nozzle/flange element, which can be replaced according to the application. The second pressure reducing means 9' preferably comprise an orifice of appropriate size in a flow channel. The interaction between these provides an advantageous overall solution.
- The valve body is preferably also provided with
check valves 10, 10'. Thefirst check valve 10 is mounted between the first pressure reducing means 9 and thepressure sensing chamber 6. Thefirst check valve 10 prevents the fuel from flowing back to the fuel chamber 5. The second check valve 10' is mounted after thepressure sensing chamber 6, preferably after the second pressure reducing means 9'. The second check valve 10' also enables the monitoring of fuel leaks, since no fuel can flow from the return conduit 8 to thepressure sensing chamber 6. - In some cases the operation of the system according to the invention can be improved by means of a
piston member 21 shown in fig. 2. This piston member comprises afirst section 22 arranged to fit inside the first pressure reducing means 9, and asecond section 23 whose cross section in the direction of its longitudinal axis is larger than thefirst section 22. Accordingly, the diameter of the piston member is different in various points along its longitudinal axis. Thepiston member 21 is arranged to move by the action of the fuel flow and the pressure variations between the positions, in which thefirst section 22 is located inside the pressure reducing means 9 or thefirst section 22 is situated outside the pressure reducing means 9, respectively. Thus thepiston member 21 is arranged to operate like a check valve. The piston member can operate as an element replacing thecheck valve 10 and it can also contribute to the reduction of fuel pressure. - The method according to the invention operates in such a way that as the needle valve assembly is by the
duct 3 connected to the fuel supply 4, preferably to a common rail pressure supply, the pressure in the fuel chamber 5 rises up to injection pressure. Hence, the fuel flows along the duct 5' to the annular groove 5" and further to thepressure sensing chamber 6 via the first pressure reducing means 9 and thecheck valve 10. From the pressure sensing chamber a small amount of fuel is allowed to flow through the second pressure reducing means 9' and the check valve 10' to the fuel return conduit 8. Due to this arrangement the pressure in thepressure sensing chamber 6 behaves in such a way that pressure monitoring can be performed with sufficient accuracy. By monitoring the pressure being on a lower level than the injection pressure it is possible to get information on the state of the valve assembly and its operation, on the basis of which information the combustion process of the engine can be controlled better than before and even the operation and performance thereof will thus improve. - The present arrangement enables accurate measuring of the pressure variations in the
pressure sensing chamber 6, where a pressure substantially lower than that in the fuel chamber 5 prevails. The fuel injection valve according to the invention is preferably dimensioned so that the pressure in thepressure sensing chamber 6 rises when the valve is in operation typically to less than 50 bars, the maximum being though only some hundreds of bars, whereas the injection pressure in the fuel chamber 5 can be typically in the range of 1000 to 1500 bars. - The pressure measuring means 7 can also in some cases be a separate device being only operationally connected to the valve body. The invention can be applied to such arrangements, where the fuel pressure in the injection valve prevails between the injections, or to arrangements where the pressure is not maintained between the injections.
- It is thus evident that the above-described technical solutions are only exemplary, whereby the invention is not limited to the above application, but several other modifications are conceivable in the scope of the appended claims.
