Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for dampening the pressure vibration of the fuel feed system of a piston engine.
  • injection pumps are used for introducing pressurized fuel into the cylinders via injector nozzles.
  • the injection pump comprises a cylinder element having a reciprocating piston arranged in a pressure chamber thereof. The movement of the piston causes the increase of the pressure of the fuel.
  • the cylinder element usually includes one or two inlet channels through which fuel is introduced from the low pressure side of the fuel feed system into a pressure plenum as the piston is in its bottom dead center. The piston moving upwards in the pressure plenum covers the fuel inlet channels and pressurized fuel flows from the pressure plenum to the high pressure pipe leading to the injector nozzle.
  • the fuel flow to the injector nozzle stops as a screw-like cut in the piston moves to the inlet channel and uncovers the inlet channel, whereby fuel in high pressure is discharged via the inlet channel to the low pressure side of the fuel feed system. This, in turn, causes a pressure pulse on the low pressure side of the fuel feed system.
  • injection pumps are in flow connection with the main fuel pipe of the low pressure side, whereby the pressure in the pipe will continuously vibrate as the engine is running.
  • a gas dampener comprises a gas space separated from the fuel feed system by means of a membrane. As the fuel pressure is changed, the membrane moves and the volume of the fuel space is changed, whereby the pressure vibration in the fuel feed system is dampened. The service life of such a dampener is limited, as the membrane can easily be broken, whereby the dampener is unusable.
  • a mechanical dampener comprises a piston or other intermediate piece arranged inside a space in the dampener.
  • the space is in flow connection with the fuel feed system, whereby the piston moves and thus the volume of the fuel feed system is changed as the pressure fluctuates.
  • the piston is supported by the dampener by means of at least one spring dampening the movement of the piston. The service life of this kind of mechanical dampener is limited by the durability of the springs.
  • the object of the invention is to produce an improved arrangement for dampening the pressure vibration of the fuel feed system of a piston engine.
  • the arrangement according to the invention for dampening the pressure vibration of the fuel feed system of a piston engine comprises a vibration dampener having a body part inside which is a space containing a movably arranged intermediate piece.
  • the body part has a first opening arranged to open to the first side of the intermediate piece for connecting the space with the fuel feed system and a second opening arranged to open into the space on the other side of the intermediate piece, the opening being in flow connection with the source of pressurized gas.
  • the intermediate piece comprises a first surface limiting the space in the part on the side of the first opening and a second surface limiting the space in the part on the side of the second opening. Further, the area of the first surface is larger than that of the second surface.
  • the pressure of the gas applying a force on the intermediate piece can be smaller than the pressure of the fuel for maintaining an equilibrium of the intermediate piece. Due to the low pressure the load on the gas system is low, whereby the design of the system can be simple.
  • Figure 1 is an illustration of a part of a fuel feed system of an internal combustion engine, the system being provided with a pressure vibration dampener according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the vibration dampener of figure 1 in a cross-sectional view.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a part of a fuel feed system 1 of an internal combustion engine.
  • the internal combustion engine is, for example, a large multi- cylinder diesel engine used in ships or power plants.
  • crude oil can be used as fuel.
  • Fuel is fed from the fuel tank 2 with a fuel pump 3 in a relatively low pressure via the low pressure piping 4 to each injection pump 5.
  • the low pressure piping 4 extends from the high pressure side of the fuel pump 3 to each injection pump 5.
  • the low pressure piping 4 comprises a main line 6 from which a branch line 7 extends to each injection pump 5.
  • Each injection pump 5 is connected to the injector nozzle 9 via high-pressure pipes 10.
  • the injection pump 5 carries out the injection of fuel together with the injector nozzles 9.
  • the injector pump increases the fuel pressure to such a level that a sufficient injection pressure is achieved at injector nozzles 9.
  • the fuel feed system also includes low-pressure return channels 8 returning from each injection pump 5 back to the fuel tank 2. Fuel is directed from the injection pumps 5 back to the fuel tank 2 through return channels 8.
  • One or more pressure vibration dampener(s) 1 1 is arranged in the fuel feed system.
  • the vibration dampener By means of the vibration dampener the fuel pressure fluctuations occurring in the fuel feed system 1 are dampened. Pressure fluctuations are caused, for example, as the high-pressure fuel in the injection pumps 5 is discharged into the low-pressure piping 4 when the injection stops. Because a number of injection pumps 5 are in flow connection with the same main line 6, the pressure in the main line 6 vibrates rapidly.
  • the vibration dampener 11 is arranged in connection with the low-pressure piping 4, for example. In the embodiment of figure 1 there are two dampeners 1 1 and they are arranged in the main line 6, preferably near the openings of the branch lines 7 leading to the injection pumps 5. Alternatively or additionally pressure vibration dampeners 1 1 can be installed in other places of the low pressure piping 4 or other places of the fuel system, such as in connection with the injection pump 5.

  • the pressure of the gas in gas pipe 20 is higher than the ambient pressure.
  • the cross-sectional area of the space 13 on the side of the first opening 14 is smaller than on the side of the second opening 15.
  • the space 13 includes an intermediate piece arranged to reciprocate, such as a piston 16.
