Fuel injection system with split fuel injection for diesel engines

摘要

At diesel engine startup, a fuel injection control system for the diesel engine injects a pre-jet of fuel into a combustion chamber in synchronism with a signal indicative of an angular position of the crankshaft of the diesel engine. After the pre-jet of fuel has been injected, the fuel injection control system injects a main jet of fuel which is larger in quantity than the injected pre-jet of fuel. Even when the engine rotational speed is low and subjected to variations as at engine startup, the pre-jet of fuel is reliably injected into the combustion chamber at a desired time. The pre-jet of fuel which is injected and ignited prior to the main jet develops an easily ignitable, activated condition in the combustion chamber. The subsequently injected main jet of fuel can thus be easily ignited by the activated condition in the combustion chamber. The diesel engine can be started quickly and smoothly without fail. IMAGE
