| Abstract: | A piezoelectric atomization device achieves fuel pressure modulation through vibration of a piezoelectric pressure modulator.
As a consequence, the fast alternating and slow moving streams collide with each other and further break up the fuel drop.
In this paper, an experimental investigation was carried out to study the fluid dynamic characteristics of the spray atomization
process of automotive port fuel injectors with a piezoelectric pressure modulator. The investigation mainly focuses on: (a)
the coupling characteristics between the piezoelectric stack and the hydraulic as well as the transfer characteristics of
pressure modulation from the piezoelectric modulator to the point above the orifice; (b) the time history of the pressure
dynamic response at the point above the orifice under a typical modulation frequency, which reflects the variation of pressure
modulation while the fuel injector is working; and (c) the time-variation characteristics related to mechanical structure
and fluid dynamics. The experimental results expose some important dynamic characteristics of pressure modulation, which will
be very significant and lead us to greatly improve the fuel injection system, optimize the control parameters and implement
spray atomization with a high quality performance in the near future. |
