Cummins Diesel Generator PT Pump Fuel Injection System

The PT fuel injection system of diesel generator is superior to the inline pump injection system and the distribution pump injection system in terms of power, economy, and environmental protection. The PT pump fuel injection system is a specialized fuel injection system for Cummins K series, N series and other models.

The basic principle of the Cummins diesel generator PT pump fuel injection system is a simple hydraulic principle (Pascal principle).


1. In a fluid filled system, any change in pressure is immediately and equally transmitted to the entire system.


2. The flow rate of a fluid passing through a certain section is directly proportional to the fluid pressure, allowed passage time, and the cross-sectional area passed through.


If the flow time and flow cross-section remain constant, the flow rate is proportional to the pressure; If the pressure and cross-section remain constant, the flow rate is directly proportional to time; If the pressure and time remain constant, the flow rate is directly proportional to the cross-section.


Taking tap water as an example, the amount of water collected in a bucket depends on three factors: water pressure, flow time, and channel area (valve opening).


The Cummins PT fuel system is designed based on this simple hydraulic principle.


From this, it can be concluded that the amount of oil in the oil cup depends on fuel pressure, metering time, and the size of the metering hole.


1. The size of the measuring hole: In the PT system, the size of the measuring hole depends on the fuel injector, which is determined by the CPL number. Once the CPL number is determined, the measuring hole remains fixed. In this way, during the operation of the diesel engine, the amount of fuel injected per cycle depends only on two factors: fuel pressure and metering time.


2. Measurement time: As the fuel injector is driven by the camshaft, the measurement time of the PT fuel injector is influenced by the contour of the camshaft and the speed of the camshaft. For pre manufactured diesel engines, when wear factors are not considered, the shape of the cam is fixed, so the cam angle that controls the opening time of the fuel injector metering hole remains unchanged. But when the speed changes, the metering time of the fuel injector corresponding to the same cam angle is inversely proportional to the speed, that is, the higher the speed, the shorter the metering time of the fuel injector. That is, as the diesel engine speed increases, the metering time of the PT fuel injector decreases, resulting in a decrease in fuel quantity, which is not allowed. In order to prevent a decrease in fuel injection due to an increase in engine speed, the PT fuel pump can be used to increase the inlet pressure P at the metering hole of the fuel injector, thereby maintaining the fuel supply not affected by changes in diesel engine speed. This is the basic principle of using pressure and time to control fuel supply.


3. Fuel pressure: refers to the fuel pressure output by the PT pump under various working conditions, which is related to the speed of the diesel engine.


The pressure at the measuring hole of the fuel injector, which is the supply pressure of the fuel pump or the inlet pressure of the fuel injector, depends on the opening of the throttle valve in the PT pump and the outlet pressure of the governor. When the opening of the throttle valve is constant, the supply pressure of the fuel pump increases or decreases with the increase or decrease of the outlet pressure of the governor. The oil pressure increases or decreases with the increase or decrease of centrifugal force on the governor flying block, and the magnitude of centrifugal force increases or decreases with the increase or decrease of diesel engine speed. Therefore, when the opening of the throttle valve remains constant, under different diesel engine loads, the combined effect of fuel supply pressure and time keeps the diesel engine speed basically unchanged.

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
