4. FUEL PRESSURE CONTROL
1) Fuel Pressure Control Elements
Pressure control consists of 2 principle modules.
- Determines rail pressure according to engine operating conditions.
- Controls IMV to make the rail pressure to reach to the required value.
Pressure in the fuel rail is determined according to engine speed and load on the engine. The
aim is to adapt the injection pressure to the engine's requirements.
- When engine speed and load are high
The degree of turbulence is very great and the fuel can be injected at very high pressure
·
in order to optimize combustion.
- When engine speed and load are low
The degree of turbulence is low. If injection pressure is too high, the nozzle's penetration
·
will be excessive and part of the fuel will be sprayed directly onto the sides of the
cylinder, causing incomplete combustion. So there occurs smoke and damages engine
durability.
Fuel pressure is corrected according to air temperature, coolant temperature and atmospheric
pressure and to take account of the added ignition time caused by cold running or by high
altitude driving. A special pressure demand is necessary in order to obtain the additional flow
required during starts. This demand is determined according to injected fuel and coolant
temperature.
2) Fuel Pressure Control
Rail pressure is controlled by closed loop regulation of IMV. A mapping system - open loop -
determines the current which needs to be sent to the actuator in order to obtain the flow
demanded by the ECU. The closed loop will correct the current value depending on the
difference between the pressure demand and the pressure measured.
- If the pressure is lower than the demand, current is reduced so that the fuel sent to the
high pressure pump is increased.
- If the pressure is higher than the demand, current is increased so that the fuel sent to the
high pressure pump is reduced.
