Description
- The present invention relates to a fuel injection arrangement for a piston engine in accordance with the preamble of
claim 1. - The fuel injection systems of compression ignition piston engines can be divided into common rail systems and systems that comprise a separate fuel injection pump for each cylinder of the engine. In common rail systems, fuel pressurized by a high-pressure pump is supplied into a storage, from which it can be fed to several cylinders of the engine. The amount of the injected fuel and the fuel injection timing is controlled by the fuel injectors, which are usually electrically controlled. In fuel injection systems with individual fuel injection pumps, each cylinder of the engine is provided with an own fuel injection pump, which also controls the amount of the fuel to be injected and the fuel injection timing. The fuel injectors are opened by the pressure of the fuel. A feed pump supplies fuel to the fuel injection pumps. In the systems with individual fuel injection pumps, which are commonly called as jerk pumps, pressure peaks occur in the low pressure part of the fuel injection system, i.e. in the fuel supply line and in the return line that collects clean excess fuel from the fuel injection pumps.
- Pressure peaks can be lowered by using large diameter pipes, but this is not always sufficient and often leads to a need to provide the pipes with pulsation dampers. Often several different pulsation dampers need to be used. This increases the costs and the need for service.
- The object of the present invention is to provide an improved fuel injection arrangement for a piston engine. The fuel injection arrangement comprises a number of fuel injection pumps, each fuel injection pump being configured to inject liquid fuel into a cylinder of the engine, at least one feed pump for supplying fuel to the fuel injection pumps, a fuel supply line connecting the fuel injection pumps to the feed pump, and a return line for receiving excess fuel from the fuel injection pumps. The characterizing features of the fuel injection arrangement according to the invention are given in the characterizing part of
claim 1. - According to the invention, the fuel injection arrangement is provided with a branch line having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the return line and the second end being closed.
- The arrangement according to the invention effectively reduces pulsations in the fuel injection system. The reliability of the engine and the lifetime of the components can thus be increased. The need for more expensive pulsation dampers can be avoided and manufacturing costs can thus be reduced. By means of stable low pressure piping, the feeding pressure and circulation flow can be reduced. This can lead to higher efficiency of the overall system.
- The return line can be provided with pressure regulating means, in which case the branch line is connected to the return line upstream from the pressure regulating means. The pressure regulating means can be a pressure regulating valve.
- According to an embodiment of the invention, the inner diameter of the branch line is 30 to 200 percent of the inner diameter of the return line.
- The length of the branch line can be selected using formula LT = a/(4*f), where LT is the length of the branch line, a is the speed of sound in the fuel in the branch line and f is the firing frequency of the engine.
- Embodiments of the invention are described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a fuel injection arrangement according to an embodiment of the invention.
- In
figure 1 is shown schematically a fuel injection system of a piston engine. The engine is a large internal combustion engine, such as a main or an auxiliary engine of a ship or an engine that is used at a power plant for producing electricity. In the embodiment offigure 1 , the fuel injection system is configured for a four-cylinder engine, but the invention is applicable to engines with any number of cylinders. In the embodiment of the figure, the cylinders are arranged in line, but the invention is also suitable for V-engines and other cylinder configurations. The fuel injection system offigure 1 is configured to inject liquid fuel directly into the cylinders of the engine. The fuel can be, for instance, light fuel oil (LFO), heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine gas oil (MGO), crude oil or marine diesel oil (MDO). The engine can be provided with additional fuel injection systems, such as a gas injection system for introducing gaseous fuel into the engine and a pilot fuel injection system for introducing liquid pilot fuel into the cylinders when the engine is operated using a gaseous main fuel. - The fuel injection system of
figure 1 comprises a number offuel injection pumps 1. Onefuel injection pump 1 is provided for each cylinder of the engine. Thefuel injection pumps 1 are conventional fuel injection pumps, which are preferably cam-operated. Thefuel injection pumps 1 can also be called as jerk pumps. Eachfuel injection pump 1 is connected to afuel injector 6, which is arranged to inject fuel directly into a cylinder of the engine. Eachfuel injector 6 is provided with an injector needle, which is opened by the pressure produced by thefuel injection pump 1. As opposed to a common rail system, the fuel injectors are thus not electrically controlled, but the fuel injection timing and the amount of the injected fuel is determined by thefuel injection pumps 1. The injection pressure is typically 1000 to 1800 bar. - The fuel injection system is provided with a
feed pump 2 for supplying fuel from atank 10 to thefuel injection pumps 1. Thefeed pump 2 is a low-pressure pump that raises the pressure of the fuel to the range of 5 to 15 bar. A fuel supply line 3 connects thefeed pump 2 to the inlets of thefuel injection pumps 1. During each cycle of afuel injection pump 1, thefuel injection pump 1 takes in substantially the same amount of fuel. However, the amount of the fuel that is supplied to thefuel injector 6 depends on the load of the engine. The fuel injection system is provided with areturn line 4 for receiving the excess fuel that is not supplied to thefuel injector 6. In the embodiment offigure 1 , all the cylinders are connected to thesame return line 4. However, more than onereturn lines 4 could be provided, for instance in a V-engine aseparate return line 4 could be arranged for each bank of the engine. Via thereturn line 4, the excess fuel can be returned to thetank 10. Thereturn line 4 comprises pressure regulating means 8. In the embodiment of the figure, the pressure regulating means is apressure regulating valve 8. Thepressure regulating valve 8 is a normally closed valve, which is arranged to open when a certain threshold pressure is exceeded. The opening pressure of thepressure regulating valve 8 can be adjusted. Typically, the nominal pressure in thereturn line 4 is kept in the range of 6 to 12 bar. With that nominal pressure, the actual pressure in thereturn line 4 typically varies in the range of 2 to 20 bar. Instead of thepressure regulating valve 8, a throttling device could be arranged in thereturn line 4 to regulate the pressure. - The fuel injection system is further provided with a
leakage line 7. Theleakage line 7 collects clean fuel leakage from thefuel injectors 6 and thefuel injection pumps 1. The clean leakage is caused by the clearances of thefuel injection pumps 1 and thefuel injectors 6 during normal operation of the engine. The clean fuel leakage can be returned to thetank 10. The engine is also provided with a separate leakage line for dirty fuel (not shown). Via the leakage line for dirty fuel, the fuel that is mixed with other substances can be collected to a separate tank. - For reducing pressure pulsations in the
return line 4, the fuel injection system is provided with a branch line 5. The branch line 5 is a pipe, which in fluid communication with thereturn line 4 but closed at the opposite end. The branch line 5 has a first end and a second end. The first end of the branch line 5 is connected to thereturn line 4 on the upstream side of thepressure regulating valve 8. The branch line 5 is thus in fluid communication with thereturn line 4. The second end of the branch line 5 is closed. -

- f is the firing frequency [1/s].

return line 4. The fuel injection system could comprise more than one branch lines 5. For instance, in a V-engine each bank of the engine could be provided with an own branch line 5. - It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may vary within the scope of the appended claims.
