  • the invention relates to a method for operating a fuel system for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a method is known from DE 100 61 856 Al. In the known method, it is checked during a rest state of the internal combustion engine and the fuel system, whether a cooling water temperature is greater than a limit value. If this is the case, an electric
  • Fuel pump of the fuel system is turned on and off again after a certain time interval. At the same time, activation of one of two pressure relief valves increases the limit pressure in the fuel line. Due to this increased pressure in the fuel line already formed vapor bubbles are compressed and the formation of new vapor bubbles reliably prevented.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a method of the type mentioned so that the formation of vapor bubbles in the fuel line is reliably prevented.
  • vapor bubbles can not only occur due to the vapor pressure exceeding the current pressure due to a temperature increase of the fuel, but that vapor bubbles can occur during cooling of the fuel enclosed in the fuel line mainly because during cooling, the specific volume of the trapped fuel and thus also its pressure decreases and therefore there is a risk that the actual pressure falls below the vapor pressure.
  • the conveyor is switched on in the idle state of the fuel system when a state variable that at least indirectly characterizes a state of the fuel in the fuel line, a threshold value falls below, so if the cooling of the in the fuel line enclosed fuel reaches or exceeds a certain level.
  • the described thermal behavior of the fuel enclosed in the fuel line is caused by the fact that, in particular in those fuel systems which are used for gasoline direct injection, the components of at least part of the fuel system are very well connected to a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine, during operation of the internal combustion engine So warm significantly. After switching off the internal combustion engine then cool the engine and with her the fuel system slowly.
  • the present invention contributes, since the pressure in the fuel system is kept above the vapor pressure and the ambient pressure during the entire idle state.
  • the state variable is a fuel temperature
  • the limit value is a limit temperature, which is determined using a vapor pressure curve and a current fuel pressure or a corresponding size.
  • a fuel temperature can be detected directly by a sensor; but it can also be modeled on the basis of, for example, a cooling water temperature.
  • the temperature of the fuel is a quantity which directly characterizes the cooling, the use of which makes vapor bubbles reliable can be prevented.
  • the state quantity is a fuel pressure
  • the limit value is the higher pressure from ambient pressure and current vapor pressure. This method has the advantage of immediate significance, but requires the presence of a knowledge of the fuel pressure. However, this is known in many cases from a sensor or a modeled value.
  • Modern common rail fuel systems typically include a low pressure region and a high pressure region.
  • a switchable at rest conveyor is usually associated only with the low pressure area, but not the high pressure area. Especially in the latter, however, steam bubbles should be prevented, because in the high pressure region, the high pressure should be available when starting the engine so that the fuel can be optimally introduced from the injectors in the combustion chambers of the engine. It is therefore proposed according to the invention that a low-pressure region and a high-pressure region of the fuel system are connected to one another before or during the switching on of the delivery device. The effect of the conveyor is thus not limited to the low pressure area, but is also transferred into the high pressure area, so that even there the formation of vapor bubbles is prevented.
  • the conveyor be switched off again when the state quantity exceeds a limit value.
  • This should normally be higher than the limit value described above, in the sense of a hysteresis, in order to avoid a permanent switching on and off of the conveyor.
  • the conveyor is simply turned off after a predetermined rigid operating time.
  • At least one activation parameter of the delivery device in particular a duty cycle and / or a variable corresponding to a delivery rate, at least temporarily depend on at least one state variable which depends at least indirectly on the state of the enclosed fuel, or is rigidly predetermined. This reduces the energy consumption required for maintaining the printer. If the comparison of the state quantity with the limit value is carried out at predetermined time intervals, the programming is particularly simple. If, on the other hand, the comparison of the state variable with the limit value is carried out at time intervals which depend on at least one operating variable of the fuel system, the energy input can be reduced again.
