Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fuel delivery system for the supply of fuel from the Fuel tank to the motor vehicle engine with one of Fuel tank up to an injection system of the motor vehicle engine or up to this self-reaching Fuel supply line, one the excess fuel fuel return line returning to the fuel tank and at least one high pressure fuel pump to deliver fuel from the fuel tank to the engine or the injection system, according to the generic term of claim 1, and a suction jet pump for this, after the preamble of claim 8, as well as a suitable one Method according to the preamble of claim 15.
- cooling circuits such as one on the underbody of the motor vehicle arranged, additional lamella fuel cooler, by means of which the excess returned from the motor Fuel can be cooled specifically before this is returned to the fuel tank.
- a thermal switch valve is required to the cooler switch out of the fuel return flow or into to be able to switch it in, depending on the heating of the Fuel and depending on the outside temperature, because too low Heating of the fuel, for example in the branch area, and when the outside temperature is too low or too cold hypothermia of the fuel can be avoided should.
- the fuel temperature should not fall below 3 ° C if possible should.
- Fuel tank a fuel reservoir is used.
- the Fuel reservoir with a defined volume provides sure that even when the fuel tank is empty always sufficient fuel for the supply to the high-pressure fuel pump is available so this does not run dry or even draws air.
- a suction jet pump interposed that by means of a Venturi nozzle and one of these downstream suction jet pump opening fuel from the Sucks the fuel tank and into the intermediate storage or promotes the fuel reservoir.
- the thermal switch the task the temperature of the returned, heated fuel to monitor and if necessary to a predetermined Cool down limit.
- This temperature limit the fuel is determined among other things according to the material properties of the high pressure fuel pump and the material properties of those in the fuel supply system installed parts.
- the thermal switch the function to determine whether the of the High pressure fuel pump or from the injection system recirculated fuel either to the tank or in the Intermediate reservoir or fuel reservoir located in the tank can be fed directly, or whether the reverse flow via the finned cooler.
- the thermal switch is designed so that under normal operating conditions the fuel flowing back through the radiator or heat exchanger is cooled.
- the object of the present invention is therefore while avoiding the above disadvantages Fuel supply system for the supply of fuel to propose from the fuel tank to the automobile engine, that is much simpler. In particular, should on the additional thermal switch and the additional one Coolers or heat exchangers can be dispensed with entirely.
- a fuel supply system for the supply of fuel from the fuel tank to the motor vehicle engine with one from the fuel tank to the motor vehicle engine or to an injection system of the motor vehicle engine reaching fuel supply line, one return the excess fuel to the fuel tank Fuel return line and at least a fuel pressure pump to deliver the fuel provided from the fuel tank to the motor vehicle engine, in the in the fuel tank between the fuel return line and the fuel supply line a fuel buffer to maintain sufficient Amount of fuel for the fuel pressure pump, and a Suction jet pump for supplying the fuel buffer with fuel from the fuel return line and the tank is arranged, the first time Fuel supply line at least one opening into the tank and fuel branching and before the suction jet pump or the nozzle arrangement arranged opening such has only a portion of the returned fuel the suction jet pump for supplying the fuel buffer flows.
- the relative proportion of that pumped by the suction jet pump Fuel from the tank against which the suction jet pump continuous recirculated and to the Fuel passed on to intermediate storage increased significantly becomes.
- the fuel supply system according to the invention uses this the capacity of the tank and / or Tanks to absorb the heat of the returned fuel and give it to the environment in the sense of a heat exchanger.
- the opening with respect to the suction jet pump which comprises a nozzle arrangement comprising a Venturi nozzle and a catching nozzle, a suction jet opening being introduced between the two nozzles, is arranged such that the opening lies opposite the Venturi nozzle ,
- the fuel partial flow that can be traced back by the engine or by the injection system is divided into two partial flows, one of which can be fed to the Venturi nozzle of the suction jet pump, and of which the other fuel partial flow can be returned to the fuel tank in such a way that a kinetic energy is used to generate a Swirling of the fuel in the fuel tank can be forced to mix with the returned fuel.
- the invention not only makes it possible only drastically reduced the number of necessary components , but also the time clearly required for the assembly of the motor vehicle reduced, sources of error during assembly eliminated and thus the total costs are significantly reduced. In addition, the risk of damage to an im State of the art arranged on the motor vehicle underbody Finned cooler or the like.
- the fuel is a diesel fuel.
- the fuel supply system of the present invention discussed above works particularly well with diesel fuels heating problems occurring outstanding and at the same time cost-effective to control. Nevertheless this is not exclusively on diesel fuels limited, but can also apply to everyone else Fuel systems find application where one Heating of the fuel, for example, due to the Use of high pressure pumps can be determined.
- the injection system is a common rail injection system. On this way can take advantage of the present invention to the most modern variant of diesel fuel engines be transmitted.
- the opening into two parts of the returned, heated fuel flow compared to the Venturi nozzle in the rear wall or in the housing of the suction jet pump is arranged.
- This offers the advantage of one particularly compact design of the suction jet pump according to the invention. It is also ensured that the im Fuel sump at a point as low as possible Suction jet pump arranged with fuel tanks is relatively safe from running dry, at the same time over has the opening for dividing the volume flow, so that the branched volume flow in turn in the area of a the lowest possible point in the fuel tank can be returned. It also starts from there a good swirling and mixing of the whole Fuel tank content achievable.
- the cross section of the opening is variable or with a constant opening cross-section of the opening a valve is arranged downstream of it, for variation the volume of the partial fuel flow returned in the fuel tank.
- a valve is arranged downstream of it, for variation the volume of the partial fuel flow returned in the fuel tank.
- variable opening or a control unit is assigned to the valve, by means of which can actively regulate the volume flow.
- variable opening or the valve integrated directly into the control loop of the engine management and addressed by it as needed, so that about the assigned control unit of each Operating state according to the desired opening cross-section or valve position can be set.
- the fuel return line from the opening in front of the suction jet pump the fuel tank is extended into it. So that the volume flow of the heated in the fuel tank Fuel in the most suitable place in the Fuel tank are guided so that the desired optimal Mixing and swirling of the heated returned fuel and cool in the fuel tank fuel under consideration the special geometrical conditions of each Tank variant can be selected.
- the suction jet pump be pressure controlled is. This in turn can quickly turn to the applicable boundary conditions of the respective operating state Be taken into account and by the Suction jet pump amount of fuel supplied to the fuel reservoir adapted to or corresponding to the corresponding need can be set. It also prevents the partial flow of recirculated fuel that should flow through the Venturi nozzle, whose throughput exceeds and to a defect of the suction jet pump or too could cause malfunction.
- a suction jet pump in particular for a fuel supply system discussed above proposed with a suction jet pump inlet downstream Venturi nozzle, one in the direction of flow suction jet pump opening downstream of the Venturi nozzle, a further subordinate catch nozzle, which in a suction jet pump outlet opens, the suction jet pump inlet a connection for a fuel return section and the suction jet pump outlet either opens into the fuel reservoir or a connection for a fuel transfer line section.
- the Suction jet pump according to the invention provided that the Opening for volume flow distribution opposite the Venturi nozzle is arranged in the rear wall of the suction jet pump. Furthermore, it is provided that the cross section of the Opening variable or with constant opening cross-section a valve is arranged downstream of the opening, so that a variation of the volume of the recycled into the fuel tank Partial current is possible. Furthermore is provided that the variable opening or the valve a control unit is assigned to regulate the volume flow. Last but not least, it is provided that the fuel return line from the arranged in front of the suction jet pump Opening out into the fuel tank is extended. Finally, it is envisaged that the Suction jet pump is pressure controlled. With that, too already above on the fuel supply system according to the invention discussed benefits in synergistic Way achieved.
- the suction jet pump according to the invention is proposed that to form the opening for the volume flow division a small one in the back wall of the suction jet pump Hole is drilled.
- the hole forming the opening in the The rear wall is at the same height and central to rearward extension of the axis of symmetry of the suction jet pump or the Venturi nozzle.
- the opening or that Hole is preferably 1.5 mm in diameter. This corresponds to the diameter in the present embodiment the Venturi nozzle and thus leads to a division of the return flow into two partial flows of approx. 50 each %.
- the degree of division depends on the most diverse Requirements or factors. Determining factors are, for example, the consumption of the motor vehicle engine, the total amount of fuel to be pumped, the minimum and maximum throughput of the high pressure pump as well the cooling or temperature requirement etc.
- the distribution of the recirculated, heated fuel volume flow in two partial flows means that half of the Return flow remains in the suction jet pump and to Intake of fresh, cool fuel from the fuel tank can be used so that this fresh Fuel along with the proportionate heated recirculated Fuel supplied to the fuel reservoir can be. The other part of the returned fuel is delivered directly to the tank. In this way the proportion of fresher and cooler fuel increases at the to be pumped into the fuel reservoir Amount of fuel, so that the desired temperature limits are easily compliant.
- the ratio of the mixing can not only statically using a hole, but also flexibly adjusted by a regulated or controllable valve become.
- a regulated or controllable valve For. B. targeted for different Load conditions of the motor vehicle engine or the motor vehicle high pressure pump different mixing ratios can be set, creating a defined Temperature band, if not a constant temperature level, can be regulated, which subsequently the Temperature load of the high pressure pump significantly reduced or with appropriate temperature control in the for High pressure pump optimizes the optimal temperature range, and resulting in less wear and tear and thus lower fuel consumption can be achieved become.
- Another advantageous aspect of the invention is that optimized by the above Position of the hole a particularly intensive mixing of the fuel emerging from the opening the remaining fuel tank content can be done. This is related among other things to the fact that the so positioned Always open below the normal fuel level is in the tank. Furthermore, the branched off through the opening Partial flow mainly due to the aligned position of the Opening relative to the venturi opening with a relative high pressure, which is a reaction the accelerated flow rate of the fuel through the venturi opening. hereby the branched partial flow flows with a comparatively high speed in the in the fuel tank yet fresh fuel. This causes an extreme Swirling of the heated recirculated fuel in the fuel tank and thereby intensifies the Mixing, so disproportionate local heating be avoided.
- the present invention leads among other things as a result of the replacement of comparatively extremely expensive components and a considerable Simplification of the fuel supply system, which at Savings in large series not to be underestimated multi-digit range.
- the advantages of the present discussed above Invention is therefore a) one if possible easy compliance with all temperature limits of the Fuel system and the engine, b) a cost reduction by eliminating a cooler, especially one Finned cooler and the associated thermal switch, c) ensuring quality for life No additional components due to minor changes of a series part, namely the suction jet pump, and d) compliance with strict crash requirements, such as for example the new so-called "pile test", because on risky positioning of a diesel cooler on Underbody can be dispensed with entirely.
