OPTIMIZATION OF FUEL INJECTION PUMP PARAMETERS OF TATA 1613 & TATA 609 ENGINE USING DIESEL & BIODIESEL

Often called 'the heart of the engine', the fuel injection system is without any doubt one of the most important systems. It meters the fuel delivery according to engine requirements, it generates the high injection pressure required for fuel atomization, for air-fuel mixing and for combustion and it contributes to the fuel distribution in the combustion system-hence it significantly affects engine performance emissions and noise. In this Investigation optimization of control parameters used for optimum control of fuel delivered by the FIP of the Automotive engine is Analyzed. The parameters observed were fuel delivery, input current to driving motor, rpm of the pump, control rack travel and number of strokes. The fuel-injection system is the most vital component in the working of CI engine. The engine performance (power output, efficiency) is greatly dependent on the effectiveness of the fuel injection system and its parameters. The experiment is conducted on two MICO Bosch FIP of TATA Engine (TATA 1613 and TATA 609 FIP) as per DoE using three input parameters at different ranges and conditions. The mathematical models are developed for Fuel delivery of FIP using taguchi, anova regression. This paper also explains the optimization of FIP parameters using biodiesel.
