Construction of Hole Type Fuel Injector for Diesel Generator Set Part 2

This article continues to introduce the working principle and structure of the hole type fuel injector for diesel generator users.

High pressure fuel enters the annular groove at the upper end of the needle valve body through the oil passage in the filter element and injector body from the inlet pipe joint. This groove is connected to the annular space at the lower part of the needle valve body through two inclined holes. The high-pressure diesel flowing through the lower cavity exerts an upward axial thrust on the conical surface of the needle valve. When this force overcomes the frictional force between the pressure regulating spring and the needle valve body (which is very small), the needle valve moves upward and opens the injection hole [as shown in Figure 5-2 (b)]. Therefore, high-pressure fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber from the injection hole at the lower end of the needle valve body. The lift of the needle valve is limited by the lower end face of the injector body, which is beneficial for quickly cutting off fuel. When the fuel injection pump stops supplying fuel, due to the sharp drop in oil pressure in the high-pressure fuel pipe, the needle valve quickly closes the injection hole and stops supplying fuel under the action of the pressure regulating spring.

During the operation of the fuel injector, a small amount of fuel will leak out from the gap between the needle valve and the needle valve body. This part of the fuel can lubricate the needle valve and rise along the gap around the tappet, entering the return pipe through the hole on the return pipe bolt 1 and flowing back into the fuel tank. To prevent small debris from blocking the spray hole, a slotted filter element is installed on the high-pressure oil pipe joint.

The fuel injector is fixed in the injector seat hole on the cylinder head with two fixing screws and sealed with a copper cone to prevent air leakage. During installation, the head of the fuel injector should protrude a certain distance from the plane of the cylinder block (specific regulations apply to various machines). For this purpose, shims can be added between the copper cone and the fuel injector, or the copper cone can be replaced to adjust. 

The domestically produced 135 series diesel engines all use orifice injectors. Its characteristics are: small nozzle diameter, good atomization quality, but high precision requirements, which brings certain difficulties to small hole processing, and the nozzle is easily blocked by carbon deposits during use.

The pressure regulating spring installed on the upper part of the fuel injector body presses the needle valve tightly against the sealing cone surface of the needle valve body through the tappet, causing the injection hole to close. Only when the oil pressure rises enough to overcome the elastic force of the pressure regulating spring, can the needle valve rise and start fuel injection. The injection pressure at the beginning of injection depends on the elasticity of the pressure regulating spring, which can be adjusted with a pressure regulating screw.

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...

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...

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...
