Rapid Engineering for the Development of Fuel Injection Methods

摘要

Increasing demands on exhaust gas emissions, saving energy, enhancing performance and reducing noise emissions are only some of the challenges when developing new engines. In order to reach these goals, the optimization of powertrain systems and the electronic control of its injecting components are critical. As long as you use standard injections and as long as conventional controls are sufficient, you can rely on the existing controllers. But what do you do, if you want to show innov-atively new control strategies and series-produced control units are not available? Every new technical development of injectors, injection strategies and combustion methods is requiring an adapted electric control of the injection valve. It is not only time but also money consuming to develop a new control unit for every purpose separately and it is always very difficult or sometimes even impossible to re-set serial control units in a way that they meet the requirements of special testing surroundings. Is there any solution? We will show one method how new injectors and ignitions may be controlled quickly and easily - no matter if they are run on a hydraulic or engine test bench.
