Diagnostics of the fuel supply system of auto ICEs by the test method

Abstract

According to scientific studies dealing with the statistics of ICE (internal combustion engine) failures, most of them are registered in the ignition system (25%) and the power system (35%). The operable state of the ICE fuel system can be maintained by developing effective testing methods. For the purpose of theoretical research, a DBD-4 testing device was designed in the methodological part of the research. The use of the developed methodologies and instrumentation allowed carrying out experimental studies to diagnose the operability of the fuel supply system. Analyzing the obtained experimental data, it can be affirmed that: there is a stable relationship between the change in the ICE crankshaft speed and the change in the injection duration of the electromagnetic injector; the degree of wear of the electric fuel pump (EFP) is determined by the shift of the stable value of the crankshaft speed to the zone of low speed values at the same injection durations. The data obtained after testing the EFP allows planning a further algorithm of actions to maintain the operability of the fuel supply system.
