FUEL METERING SYSTEM [8 records]

Record 1 2016-02-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

Besides metering the fuel, it is also necessary to regulate the variable vanes of the high-pressure compressor and the complex compressor air bleed system. Together, these three elements form the regulatory variables of a powerplant with fixed nozzle geometry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

Il faut (...) assurer le réglage des aubes à incidence variable du compresseur HP ainsi que de son système complexe de prélèvement d'air. Ces trois éléments constituent les variables permettant d'assurer la régulation d'un moteur à tuyère à géométrie fixe.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
CONT

Overspeed conditions can occur in an engine for a number of reasons, such as for example, a sudden unforeseeable reduction in the engine load, a failure in the metering valve of the engine's fuel delivery system, or an erroneous signal from an associated electronic engine control(EEC) which modulates the metering valve to an excessively high flow setting. It is known to provide an overspeed protection system that monitors a speed of the engine, such as the rotational speed of the power turbine of a gas turbine engine, and upon detection of an overspeed condition will reduce or stop the flow of fuel to the engine from the fuel delivery system.

PHR

Motor overspeed protection system.

Record 3 2005-08-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Fuel in the D4D is pressurised to an extremely high 135mpa within the "common rail" that feeds all four cylinders (older diesel engines have a separate pipe leading from the pump to each cylinder). The high pressure injection creates better fuel atomisation for complete burning and increased power output. And because there is less fuel wasted through inefficient combustion, the D4D delivers better fuel economy too.

OBS

A common rail engine is designed to supply constant fuel pressure to electronically controlled injectors through a shared fuel reservoir. This means that the fuel supply is not dependent on the engine revs. A common rail system is built around four basic components : a high pressure pump with pressure regulator and inlet metering valve, a rail which contains a pressurised reserve of fuel, injectors which inject precise amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber as required and a Diesel Control Unit-the ’brain’ of the system, which precisely controls injector flow and timing as well as rail pressure while continuously monitoring the operating conditions of the engine.

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Véhicules automobiles)
DEF

Rampe d'alimentation commune, maintenue à très haute pression, qui permet une injection directe du carburant dans chaque cylindre du moteur.

OBS

Le secret de la «rampe commune», c'est son tube interposé entre la pompe d'injection et les injecteurs. Alors que dans un système d'injection directe classique, la pression dépend du régime-moteur, cette rampe commune, d'un volume de quelques centimètres cubes, va jouer le rôle de réserve de pression. Ainsi, quel que soit le régime-moteur, le moteur dispose d'une pression pouvant atteindre 1500 bars.

CONT

Le système de prélèvement d'air. Sur le compresseur deux prises de pression sont installées sur deux étages du compresseur permettant ainsi de prélever de l'air sur le moteur en fonction des différentes phases du vol de l'avion. [...] pendant le décollage lorsque le moteur fonctionne à pleine puissance, l'air est prélevé sur la prise haute pression HP. Pendant la croisière l'air est prélevé sur la prise de pression intermédiaire IP qui offre une pression plus faible mais qui pénalise moins le moteur et sa consommation de carburant. Ceci est réalisé à l'aide de deux composants : un clapet anti-retour IP qui empêche l'air prélevé de retourner dans le moteur, une vanne HP qui peut être ouverte ou fermée comme nécessaire.
