Introduction.

Vehicles equipped with Diesel engines are increasingly important in sales.


new vehicles. The reasons for customers choosing this type of engine are multiple:

The fuel used is still much cheaper than that for gasoline engines.

The efficiency of diesel engines is superior to that of gasoline engines.


the consumption is therefore lower,

The usurpation of leadership and the performance of diesel engines make them used by
car manufacturers and the equipment of convertibles.
2. Generalities.
2.1. The principle of the Diesel engine.

Different from the gasoline engine where ignition is controlled, the Diesel engine operates
due to the spontaneous ignition of the fuel while it is injected into the combustion chamber. For
this, several conditions are necessary:

The air temperature at the time of injection must be approximately 600° C (400°)
C minimum). This temperature is reached by compressing the admitted air in
motor.

Diesel is injected under high pressure (from 130 to more than 1000 bars) for

For high-speed diesel engines, a cycle is used that allows burning in two strokes: a part

2.2.1. Temperature at the end of compression.

The compression of the admitted air must allow for the necessary temperature to be achieved at the end of the compression.
There is data on the start of fuel injection.

Several factors influence this temperature:

•The pressure at the end of compression. It must be at least 20 bar with a difference
a maximum of 4 bars between the cylinders. The volumetric ratios used are approximately
15/1 for direct injection engines and 22/1 for indirect injection engines.

•Allowed air temperature. In certain operating cases, it is necessary.

The heat exchange surface between the combustion chamber and the exterior (engines with
direct injection has a lower volumetric ratio.

2.2.2. Burning phases.

The fuel enters the chamber, being sprayed through the injector. Each particle of diesel
comes into contact with superheated air.

Each gas fuel molecule begins to mix with the air, the combustion phases being

• The oxidation of diesel and the formation of peroxides. The fine particles of fuel that

2.4. Solutions for optimizing engine operation.


2.4.1. Direct injection / indirect injection.

There are two types of Diesel engines:

Direct injection engines.

The injection is done directly into the chamber of


burn, which is usually found in the piston.
It is used for these engines
injectors with holes that require pressures of
high injections for spraying
of the fuel.

Indirect injection engines.

The injection is carried out in a antechamber that


it can be of three types:

Preparation room,
Turbulence chamber ("Ricardo"
was used in Renault engines)
Auxiliary camera.

The constructors choose a certain type of engine.

The fundamental parameters for managing fuel dosage are engine speed and load.

Electronic management allows the integration of multiple parameters and thus the achievement of a flow.

Vehicle speed: allows for the calculation of the engaged ratio (performance optimization).
• Diesel engine temperature: Allows for the calculation of the volumetric mass of diesel (emissions of
smoke).
Airflow: Allows the calculation of the mass of air admitted into the engine (dosage).

Atmospheric pressure: Allows for altimetric correction.


Water temperature: Allows the calculation of the flow rate at startup (overload)

The constraints regarding pollution and customer demands make management impossible.
mechanics as it has been realized up to now.

2.4.3. Management of the injection start (advance).

The injection advance is necessary to compensate for delays:

Injection delay: the times that elapse between the start of the injection at the pump and the start
injector injection (constant times).
•Delay of combustion: the times required for igniting diesel (variable times).

It is necessary to compensate for these delays by starting the injection at the pump before the Point.
Higher mortality than the engine.

Synopsis of progress.

The advance evolution must primarily take into account the engine speed, as for a
the same delay, the angle made by the crankshaft varies depending on the regime.

Depending on the application, other parameters may be considered such as:

Motor load: The corrections are necessary depending on the pumping principle.
In radial piston rotary pumps, there is a
natural variation of advancement depending on the load that
it must be considered to avoid smoke emissions and
of the engine noises. That is, the beginning of the injection is
variable because the pulleys attack the cam ring depending on
the amount of diesel (load) that enters between the
two diving pistons.
Water temperature: In the case of cold operation, the combustion delay is longer.

the advance.
Air temperature: The air temperature has a direct influence on
the temperature at the end of compression and thus the delay

Atmospheric pressure: If the intake pressure drops, the pressure at the end

3. Low pressure power supply circuit.
3.1. The principle of operation.

The operation of the injection system requires continuous supply of low-pressure fuel and
for air, the high pressure pumping element.

The diesel is drawn from the tank through a low-pressure pump (the diesel from the pipe)
the food is found under pressure; due to the internal resistances created by pipes and filters,
the low pressure pump has difficulty sucking) then filtered, then used by the high pressure pump
Pressure. The return to the tank is made once the regulation of the low pressure has been carried out and
the injectors have been fueled.
3.2. The component elements.
3.2.1. The reservoir.

Just like the gasoline tank, the diesel tank uses several valves.

The main valves are:

•The depression safety valve installed in the tank through which the creation is avoided
depression in the tank due to the blockage of the vent valve.
Ventilation of the tank.
Anti-leak valve for overturning installed at the filling plug.

The diesel intake area in the tank is usually closed to avoid emissions (cap
etans).

a) The filter.
The main functions of the filter are:

Filters out micron-sized impurities,

Filter component elements:

1 Filter outlet coming from the tank.

2 filter valves going towards the pump.

3 water drain screws.


4 screws for circuit upstream purging.

There are several types of filters:

Without heating,

With electric heating,

b) The role of fuel heating.

For negative temperatures, the quality variables of the fuel and additives, paraffin
The content in the diesel crystallizes and clogs the filter.

The heating has a preventive role, warming the diesel that circulates throughout the circuit and
prevent the paraffin from crystallizing in the pipes that run under the vehicle.

3.3. Low pressure pump.


Low pressure pump (pump of
transfer) is of volumetric type.
This allows, on the one hand,
suction of diesel from the tank and on
in high part, generating a flow

The pressure is controlled by a

3.4. Control of the low pressure circuit of a rotary pump.

The control of a circuit is achieved by measuring the pressure upstream and downstream of the filter. The values
obtained provide an overview of the loss of the circuit allowing for diagnosis.

To be relevant, the controls must be carried out while the flow in the circuit is at its maximum.
For this purpose, it is necessary to measure the pressure when the engine is at maximum rpm (attention to

b) Dosage adjustment for the Bosch axial pump

Mechanical management of dosing

The parameters considered for mechanical management are the following:

motor speed control through a centrifugal governor

the load is moved by means of the load lever position

the pressure in the intake manifold when the engine is supercharged

-atmospheric pressure, when the engine is equipped with an altimeter compensator

The position of the injection end ring depends on the balance of the adjustment lever. The position
the lever depends on the intensity of the forces exerted on one side by the regulator (the information from
engine speed) and on the other hand through the load lever via the springs of
regulate.
Electronic management of dosing.

Dosage management can also be done electronically, this time taking into account a lot
multiple parameters. The command for the injection end ring position is executed through
the medium of an electromagnet controlled by an R.C.O. type signal. The computer is informed in
the permanence of the position of the injection end ring.

balance that determines the position of the dosing valve.

4.1.3. Advance correction for cold operation (overheating)

During cold operation of the engine, the temperature in the combustion chamber does not reach
always the necessary value of the self-ignition of the fuel mixture, and therefore the burning period
It is possible for the ignition to occur after the engine's T.D.C.
To compensate for this effect, the increase of the advance at injection is called superheating.

Two types of corrections are possible:


advance correction by mechanical means

the advance correction by hydraulic means

The mechanical correction consists of operating a drawer or a part connected to it. The command can be
mechanical or electrical, and the necessary information is the engine temperature. This type of correction has the drawback
It acts during the engine starting phase, when too much advance can prevent it from starting.
For certain applications, it is necessary to disable this system before the initial calibration control.

The hydraulic correction (a system called KSB) consists of increasing the injection advance by increasing
transfer pressures during cold operation. Information about the liquid temperature of
the engine cooling is determined through a thermostatic probe located in the circuit
by water or of a thermal contact, when the command is electric:
1. axis lever

2. boson

3. control lever

Upon reaching the normal operating temperature, the shutdown of this device is commanded.
element, and the advance for injection reaches the reference value. This correction system of
the advance during the engine's cold operating period can be controlled as follows:

1. direct through a probe arranged on the engine's cooling circuit


2. through a pre-preheating box
3. on the accelerated gear lever
4. on the injection computer
4.1.4. Advance adjustment based on the load

Radial pumping element

The principle of the radial pump has the disadvantage of having a variable advance depending on
load (the higher the suction flow rate, the earlier the chamber attacks the buckets). For
In certain operating regimes of the engine, it is necessary to adjust the timing to eliminate
this natural disadvantage. The advancement increase for the engine's small tasks is achieved
in the increasing, progressive or not, transfer pressure. The load information allows control
reduction of transfer pressure at high engine loads, the information being taken from the lever
of the injection molding load. This system is called AFC (advance for small loads) or
ACP (advance for progressive pregnancy). When the advance is managed electronically this
the correction is mapped.
Axial pumping element
In order to have a smoother and quieter engine, it is necessary to reduce the injection advance for light loads.
The pressure during combustion decreases when the fuel flow is reduced. The maximum pressure in the combustion chamber is
advanced in relation to the engine's P.M.S.

For BOSCH rotary pumps, the system consists of reducing the transfer pressure (and thus the advance) when it
it returns to idle, and it is called the L.F.B. reflux initiator. It uses the position of the throttle regulator sleeve in this
operating phase to reduce transfer pressure.
Electronic management of the advance

This type of management allows for the optimization of the injection start adjustment. Whatever the type may be.
Pompe operate at the level of the transfer pressure applied to the advance drawer.

Depending on
Based on the operating parameters of the engine, the computer controls the advance actuator according to a stored map. It
It imposes that the commanded advance be the real one thanks to a position translator of the injector needle. The system works in
closed loop and thus a correction is allowed if this is necessary. If it no longer receives information from
the injector needle position sensor, the computer will operate in open loop.

4.1.5. The overload function (increased diesel flow at startup)


The Lucas pump system
suprasarcina allows for easy starting of the engine by increasing the flow of diesel injected during this phase. The flow
it must return to the initial value after the engine has started (approximately 150 rpm at the pump).

The increase in flow during the startup phase is achieved due to the increase in the stroke of the plunging pistons. This variation of
this course is obtained by the axial displacement of the bucket supports. The overload is canceled when the transfer pressure
this is transmitted to the overload drawer.

The BOSCH pumps overload is achieved with a blade-type spring integrated into the load lever, which allows
the displacement of the injection end sleeve towards high flows when the regulator is not actuated.
4.1.6 Speed Regulator

The DIESEL engine operates with excess air. Regardless of the engine load, a variation in the engine speed cannot
is obtained only by varying the injected fuel flow rate. The adjustment of a DIESEL engine's speed consists of adjusting
automata is to inject fuel to achieve a fixed speed regime. Depending on the application, it will need to be adjusted.
the engine speed over the entire operating range (in the case of static engines) or only for certain regimes (in the case of
automobile engines.
Minimum/Maximum Regulation Principle
In the case of cars, it is necessary to adjust the idle regime, a regime that can be
modified due to the variation in motor load (for example electrical consumers) in
the time of this operating period. It is also necessary to avoid
motor overheating when the load is very low (the case of the test of
opacity.
The operating principle of the mechanical minimum/maximum regulator
The engine speed information is obtained through the centrifugal governor. The governor's effort on
the lever is counteracted by the force of the springs pressed in turn by the load lever. In the case of a minimum adjustment-
maxim has three phases:

idle adjustment

intermediary phase

regulation of the maximum regime

The operating principle of the regulator for all speeds


The adjustment for all engine speed regimes is performed regardless of the engine load and is applied mainly to
agricultural or construction machinery, as well as stationary engines.
4.1.7. Correction of the flow in turbocharged engines

In turbocharged engines, it is necessary to adjust the injected flow according to the mass of
air aspirated by the engine, a mass that mainly depends on the intake pressure.

The figure below shows an example for the BOSCH pump.

Mechanical correction of the flow at supercharging - Lucas Pump

The principle consists of transmitting the pressure behind the overload drawer in proportion to the increase in pressure of
suprafeeding.
1 - supercharging pressure inlet

2 - loss piston

3 - membrane with different sections

4 - antretose

5 - crested screw

Electronic correction
When flow management is done electronically, the air mass is measured directly through a
volumetric or mass flow meter. In all operating cases, the calculator knows or calculates the mass of air
it aspires and can therefore adjust the injected fuel dose according to the engine's needs.

4.1.8. The pre-postheating function

The purpose of pre-post heating is to increase the temperature of the air admitted into the engine to reduce combustion delay.

or even from the injection computer.

Operating principle:

Preheating is divided into two phases, namely;

Variable preheating depending on the temperature of the liquid in the cooling system

- Fixed preheating, after the witness goes out, the spark plugs remain powered for a while.
a few seconds.
Start phase: the spark plugs remain or do not remain powered depending on the temperature of the fluid in the cooling system.
Post-heating consists of the following two phases:

fixed preheating: the spark plugs remain powered simultaneously or not, for a few seconds

Post-heating variable: the spark plugs are powered simultaneously or not, for several
minute.

The spark plug supply can be cut off if:

the water temperature exceeds a certain threshold

the engine load exceeds a certain threshold

4.1.9. Distribution of high pressure.


a) The principle of distribution.

The role of the distributor is to distribute:

To each compressed diesel injector through the pumping element,

In a certain order and at a precisely defined moment.

Observations on rotary pumps.

The rebreather valves (at the high pressure outlet): allow for maintaining a certain pressure.
residual in high pressure pipelines (shortens the injection delay) and ensuring a
closed farm of the injector needle (to avoid splashing).

There are also valves for:

•Reinhalation with variable flow: the reinhalation volume varies depending on the volume.
the injected debit.

•Resonance damping: their role is to absorb pressure waves during closure


of injectors. Without this device, these pressure waves create a reopening of
the injector resulting in an excess of smoke.

b) The initial calibration.

The initial calibration consists of adjusting the injection start relative to the top dead center of the engine.

The initial calibration must be carried out after the disassembly or dismantling of the pump as well as after any other
intervention on the distribution regardless of the type of pump (fully mechanical or electronically controlled).
BOSCH pump calibration

This calibration consists of measuring the displacement of the pump's piston from its bottom dead center.
since the engine's P.M.S. was reached:

a comparator clock is installed

The lower dead center of the pump piston is sought by rotating the engine in its direction of rotation.

the comparator is set to zero

Rotate the motor until the device MOT. 1054 positions the motor at T.D.C.

the value on the clock is read


The adjustment values vary from engine to engine and are set by the manufacturer, which is why they
must be strictly observed.

If the value is not correct, it must be adjusted. Two cases are possible:

a) The pump body has oval gripping holes. The pump adjustment is done by modifying
the position of the pump body, thus the platform for buckets, in relation to the motor.

b) If the pump is not fixed using oval holes, the pump adjustment is made by
pulley, this being a pulley with micrometric adjustment RAM

The LUCAS pump calibration

LUCAS pumps have a variable injection start depending on the flow rate. Each pump has
the own adjustment value that can be taken from a plastic clip that is fixed on the lever
of the load at Pompeii. The check of the calage is done as follows:

the comparator is set to zero after the rod of the MOT 1079 device is pressed on
her guide

The engine rotates until the MOT device. 1054 positions the engine at TDC.

the value is read on the comparator

if the value is not correct, it is adjusted as follows:

If the pump mounting is done in oval holes, the adjustment is made by changing the position.
the body of the pump (the cam ring) in relation to the engine
if the pump mounting is not done in oval holes, the adjustment is carried out with the help of a
micrometric adjustment RAM fulcrum
