Experimental Study on Spray Characteristics of Diesel Engines and Analysis of Fuel Dripping Phenomenon

Experimental study on macroscopic spray characteristics of a certain type of domestic common rail injectors under the conditions of different injection pressures was carried out through a high-speed digital camera. Furthermore, a fuel dripping phenomenon at the end stage of injection was observed through the high-speed digital camera equipped with a long-distance microscope, and a further analysis of the phenomenon was made. The results show the increase in the injection pressure can evidently enhance spray cone angle and expand the scope of spray field in combustion chamber, which is conducive to air-fuel mixture. The spray cone angle during the development spray shows a double-peak shape. And the long response-time of seating of solenoid valve core that disables the injection cutting off in time is one of factors causing fuel dripping phenomenon.
