The regulation of the Diesel engine with PLD occurs entirely electronically, based on
the signals of the crankshaft and camshaft revolutions. Furthermore, the unit of
control has information from the following sensors: Liquid temperature sensor
coolant, Fuel temperature sensor, Air temperature sensor of
overfeeding, Air boost sensor and Atmospheric pressure sensor. And to
Based on this information, the service performance of the engine is taken into account.
1- The individual regulation of each fuel injection pump attached to the engine block.
2- The free choice of the start of the injection and the injection flow rate
Operation
PLD and UIS are diesel injection systems with timing control through solenoid valves.
integrated.
The moment of activation of the solenoid valve - and with it the closing of the valve - determines
the beginning of feeding; the duration of activation is a determining measure of
injection flow rate. The timing and duration of activation are determined by the unit
control electronics according to the programmed characteristic fields.
At the same time, the current service status of the engine and the environmental data are taken into account.
the temperature of the intake air, the coolant, and the fuel,
These data are detected by sensors and processed in the control unit. With the information
obtained, the control unit is capable of controlling and regulating the vehicle to provide a service
of optimal march.
SYSTEM
CUMMIN
S PT
The PT concept is due to the primary variables that affect the amount of fuel dosed and injected.
For each piston cycle, these variables are pressure and time; that is, the pressure of fuel delivered to
the injectors and the period of time during which the fuel enters them.
The fuel supply to the injectors is controlled by the injection pump, while the timing
is controlled by the rotational speed of the camshaft with the operation of the engine. The system of
Cummins PT injection uses simple injectors that are mechanically operated. Each injector has an orifice.
of dosing which carries the fuel to the pressure chamber, the injector's piston is actuated from the
camshaft through a pushrod and a rocker arm. The fuel flows through the opening of
dosage into the pressure chamber only during the final part of the piston stroke of the engine.
Fuel is supplied through a feed pump (gear pump) which increases the pressure to a
intermediate level and supplies it to the gallery in the butt where are: the throttle area, the regulator, the
shutdown system and the Air Fuel Control (CAC) mechanism that adjusts the pressure accordingly
the needs of the engine speed. Approximately 70% of the fuel flows through the
injectors not being used towards the return gallery, allowing the cooling of the injector and preventing the
paraffin precipitation and air accumulation in the system.
The fuel pressure is controlled by the regulator and the throttle position, the timing is related
with the speed of the engine (the higher it is, the shorter the injector's charging time), therefore the
fuel pressure is very variable but must be very precise. For this reason, this pump assembly is
more complex than a common lifting pump because it also must:
Supply fuel at sufficient pressure to meet high speed and full load conditions
Limit the pressure to control the maximum speed of the engine.
Adjust the pressure between maximum speed and idle.
Provide a manual method (throttle) to control the fuel flow.
The pump contains a unique set of gears that transfer fuel from the tank to
deliver it to the injection system. The fuel flows from the pump to a pulsation damper,
installed at the back of the pump; it consists of a flexible steel diaphragm that absorbs the pulsations
of the fuel stabilizing the pressure.
Regulator
The centrifugal force acts on the counterweights and extends them outward, this movement in turn moves the
embolo longitudinally against the springs. The plunger acts as a hydraulic pump that rotates with the
counterweights and also slides axially within the governor sleeve. The movement opens or
close the holes in the sleeve to control the flow of fuel in the governor and in this way the
motor speed.
Injectors
The PT injector is a simple mechanical unit that receives fuel, doses it, injects it, and atomizes it in different ways.
pressures from the set of injection pumps.
All injectors have a plunger that moves alternately in the injector body, driven
through the camshaft via the rocker arm.
Dosing: When the piston rises, the dosing hole opens and the fuel fills the injector.
Injection: The plunger moves down due to the action of the rocker, covers the intake hole and pushes the fuel through the
spraying holes
Once the injection is finished, the plunger settles in the collector space of the injector and the fuel passes through the
return ducts.
