In terms of better fuel mixture preparation, both finer atomization and higher system pressure are indispensable. These objectives provoke high mechanical loads on modern injection systems. In particular, the driving torque of the high pressure pump is proportionally linked to the system pressure within the pump cylinder. This article focuses the challenge of measuring angular-resolved torque fluctuations induced by the high pressure pump on a component test bench. After describing a systematic measurement failure consisting of unexpected dynamic proportions within the torque signal, the disturbance is analyzed at steady-state and transient operating conditions of the test bench. Consequently, a method for detecting and analyzing the same within the measurement chain of the signal is suggested. Based on the identification of the root cause of the dynamic fluctuations, enhancement proposals are discussed, realized and validated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
