Definitions

  • the invention relates to a test stand for testing a fluid pump and / or a fluid injector, with a device for conditioning the test oil used for the test, such as from DE 102006013634 known.
  • test oil For testing fluid pumps, particularly high-pressure fuel pumps, and fluid injectors (fuel injectors) in a test bench, it is desirable that the fluid used for testing (test oil) has a defined temperature. Depending on the prevailing environmental and operating conditions, it is necessary to heat or cool the fluid used.
  • a heater is often provided in the fluid tank to heat the fluid when needed.
  • An inventive test stand has a tank for receiving and storing the fluid and a first fluid removal line, which is adapted to remove fluid from the tank and a fluid injection pump to be tested, which may be in particular a high-pressure fuel pumps supply.
  • a test stand has a first cooling circuit for cooling the fluid stored in the tank, the first cooling circuit having a first fluid removal conduit adapted to remove fluid from the tank and hydraulically connected to a heat exchanger for removal from the tank during operation Supply fluid to the heat exchanger.
  • the heat exchanger is adapted to cool the fluid withdrawn from the tank.
  • the first cooling circuit additionally has a return line connected to the heat exchanger, which is designed to return fluid, which has flowed from the tank into the heat exchanger through the second fluid removal line, into the tank.
  • a test stand according to the invention makes it possible to condition the fluid better by tempering the fluid in the tank compared with the known prior art. Since the amount of fluid in the tank has a greater heat capacity than the amount of fluid which is passed in a conventional method through the heat exchanger, which is located immediately in front of the fluid injection pump, temperature fluctuations of the fluid can be reduced in the inlet to the fluid injection pump. On the one hand, higher requirements can be met for the temperature stability in the testing of fluid injection pumps and fluid injectors, in particular high-pressure fuel pumps and fuel injectors, as used in particular in diesel engines. On the other hand, the heat exchanger can be dimensioned smaller than before with constant demands on the temperature stability, so that the manufacturing cost and space requirements can be reduced.
  • the thermal energy E m * c * T of the test fluid stored in the tank is significantly greater than the thermal energy of the volume flow through the heat exchanger a conventional device.
  • a tank typically used in a test bench contains fluid having a mass of about 40 kilograms. During testing, this mass corresponds to a delivery time of approx. 10 minutes for a test with a high pump delivery rate and a delivery time of approx. 20 minutes for a test with a smaller pump delivery rate.
  • a second cooling circuit is provided which is connected to the heat exchanger and which is configured to cool the fluid flowing through the heat exchanger.
  • a control valve is provided in the second cooling circuit, which is suitable to regulate the flow of coolant in the second cooling circuit.
  • the cooling capacity of the second cooling circuit can be adjusted.
  • the temperature of the fluid in the tank can be adjusted to a desired value.
  • a coolant pump is arranged in the second cooling circuit, which is designed to support the circulation of coolant through the cooling circuit.
  • the efficiency of the refrigeration cycle can be improved by such a pump which assists the circulation of refrigerant through the second refrigeration cycle.
  • the coolant circulating in the second refrigeration cycle is water.
  • Water is an effective and inexpensive coolant.
  • a heater is arranged in the tank, which is suitable for heating the fluid stored in the tank.
  • the desired temperature of the fluid in the tank can in particular be set to the desired value even if the desired value is above the current fluid temperature or the ambient temperature.
  • a temperature sensor is arranged in the first fluid extraction conduit and / or in the tank, which is designed to measure the temperature of the fluid. By measuring the temperature of the fluid, a desired fluid temperature can be adjusted particularly efficiently and accurately.
  • Measuring the fluid temperature in the first fluid extraction conduit provides a particularly accurate value of the temperature of the fluid supplied to the fluid injection pump.
  • a measurement of the temperature of the fluid in the tank makes it possible to control the cooling circuit and / or the heating particularly efficiently and precisely in order to set the desired temperature of the fluid in the tank.
  • An embodiment of a method according to the invention also comprises regulating the cooling and / or heating of the fluid in the tank on the basis of the measured temperature.
  • the figure shows a schematic representation of a device according to the invention for conditioning and in particular tempering a fluid, which is used for testing a fluid injection pump and / or a fluid injector.
  • a device 2 comprises a tank 4, which is designed for receiving and storing the fluid to be conditioned.
  • a first fluid removal conduit 6 is provided to remove fluid from the tank 4 and supply it to a fluid injection pump 8.
  • the fluid injection pump 8 increases the pressure of the fluid withdrawn from the tank 4 and supplies the fluid to a pressure accumulator (test rail) 40.

  • the pressure accumulator 40 is hydraulically connected to a fluid injector 10 to be tested via a fluid pressure line 9 in order to supply pressurized fluid to the fluid injector 10 during operation.
  • the fluid discharged by the fluid injector 10 during the test operation is collected by a collecting device 11 and returned to the tank 4 by a fluid measuring unit 50.
  • the fluid measuring unit 50 has an evaluation and display unit 52, which is designed to evaluate and display the quantities of fluid measured by the fluid measuring unit 50 and to pass them on to a diagnostic device, not shown in the figure.
  • the pressure accumulator 40 is additionally hydraulically connected to the fluid measuring unit 50 via a bypass line 48, which can be closed by a bypass valve 46.
  • a bypass valve 46 For checking the fluid injector 10, the bypass valve 46 is closed.
  • the bypass valve 46 is opened and the fluid injector 10 is not driven, so that the fluid metering unit 50 measures the amount of fluid delivered by the fluid injection pump 8.
  • a first fluid delivery pump 32 is provided within the tank 4, which is designed to assist in the removal of fluid from the tank 4 and to supply the withdrawn fluid to the fluid injection pump 8.
