WORKING PRINCIPLE OF FUEL INJECTOR

FUEL INJECTOR


FUEL INJECTOR
It is valve through which fuel is sprayed or injected in the combustion space of internal combustion engine. Therefore it is also called fuel valve . It has given with below three basic purposes.
  1. Atomization - The process of breaking of fuel into small tiny particles during the time of injection. The size of fuel particles is about 10 mm in diameter.
  2. Penetration - It  is the distance travelled by tiny fuel particles in the combustion chamber before combustion.
  3. Turbulence- Swirll or rotating  movement of fuel along with charge air in  the combustion chamber . It improves the mixing of fuel and air.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF FUEL INJECTOR 

When fuel pump plunger rises up in the barrel , fuel come into the chamber of fuel injector and pressure starts build in the chamber underside of the needle valve and when the fuel overcomes the spring force , needle valve is opened and fuel passes through  the small clearance between the valve and valve seat where eddies friction is formed between the  layer of fuel . Now at this time fuel pressure is acting  on the complete  seating area of the needle  valve  causes valve to lift more and  open. And finally this fuel comes out from the nozzle as a atomised spray .

Wire drawing effect

Wire drawing effect : It is erosion or scoring of valve seat and disc material of the valve . Causes : 1. Due to differential pressure across the valve . 2. Thermal and mechanical damages . Effects : Valve is unable to isolate the line and fails in sealing . Gas and liquid will leak from the wire and scratch like groove .

Difference between Attemperator and De-superheater

Attemperator are fitted in order to keep the steam temperature in the final stages of the superheater within certain desired limits . This is done for two main reasons . 1. The most important is the protection of the superheater tube material from the effects of overheating. *Mild steel superheater tubes tubes should not be subjected to steam temperatures in excess of 455℃. 2. The formation of bonded deposits on superheater tubes can be reduced if steam and gas streams within certain temperature ranges are prevented from coming into contact of each other. De-Superheater is used to reduce the temperature of a quantity of superheated steam and make it suitable for used in auxiliary services requires low temperature or saturated steam . *The reason for doing this way rather than by taking the saturated steam direct from steam drum , is to protect the superheater , these must be protected against overheating under all conditions of load by circulating steam through them . *Al...
