FUEL MODULE SYSTEM
A fuel module system is provided. The fuel module system can be mounted on a chassis of a vehicle and deliver a material from a container to an engine at a regulated pressure and a target temperature for optimization of the vehicle. The flow of material can be from the one or more containers to the fuel module system and then to a portion of the engine, wherein the material housed within the one or more containers has a first temperature, a first pressure, and a first flow rate and at the delivery to the portion of engine, the material is adjusted by the fuel module system.
Filter pre-fill detection system and method
A system for detecting a pre-fill status of a fuel filter in a fuel system includes a monitoring mechanism structured to monitor a fluid property of the fuel system indicative of priming. A control mechanism is coupled with and structured to received data from the monitoring mechanism, and outputs a signal responsive to a time to prime the fuel system that is indicative of a filter pre-fill state.
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM
A high pressure fuel pump includes: a pump body that forms a suction passage and a pressurizing chamber and slidably supports a plunger; and a control valve that opens a connection between the suction passage and the pressurizing chamber in a suction stroke, during which the plunger is driven toward a suction side for suctioning fuel into the pressurizing chamber, while the control valve controls closing timing, at which the connection between the suction passage and the pressurizing chamber is closed by the control valve in a delivery stroke, during which the plunger is driven toward a delivery side for delivering the fuel out of the pressurizing chamber. The pump body forms a release passage that is communicated with the suction passage. The release passage relieves the fuel, which is pressurized by the plunger, from the pressurizing chamber before the closing timing during the delivery stroke.
Fuel supply device
A fuel supply device includes a fuel pump, a filter case, a fuel passage, a discharge passage, and a residual pressure holding valve. A communication port opens at a shifted position of the fuel passage that is positionally shifted from the residual pressure holding valve toward the discharge passage. The fuel passage includes an outside passage part through which fuel flows from the communication port toward the discharge passage, and an inside passage part that throttles a flow of fuel flowing from the communication port toward the residual pressure holding valve more than the outside passage part. When a passage cross-sectional area of the inside passage part is converted into a passage cross-sectional area of a circular pipe, D which is a passage diameter of the circular pipe, and L which is a length of the inside passage part satisfy a relational expression of L/D3.
FUEL SUPPLY DEVICE
A fuel supply device includes a pump unit that sucks stored fuel in a fuel tank from a suction port and discharges the fuel to an outside of the fuel tank. A pressure regulating valve performs pressure regulation of fuel discharged from the pump unit. The pressure regulating valve includes a return port having an opening facing in a separating direction away from the suction port, and returns surplus fuel generated by the pressure regulation from the return port into the fuel tank. A suction filter encloses an internal space where the suction port is open, and filters the stored fuel entering the internal space. The suction filter includes an expansion part to which the internal space is extended, and the expansion part is on a side of the return port that faces in the separating direction.
Pressure regulation device
A pressure regulation device is configured to regulate a pressure of a fluid that flows in the pressure regulation device. The pressure regulation device includes a fluid flow passage, a fluid regulator, and at least one wall member. The fluid flow passage is a passage in which the fluid flows. The fluid regulator is disposed in the fluid flow passage, and configured to regulate a pressure of the fluid. The at least one wall member is disposed upstream of the fluid regulator in a flow of the fluid, and stands from an interior wall of the fluid flow passage.
Pressure regulation device
A pressure regulation device is configured to regulate a pressure of a fluid that flows in the pressure regulation device. The pressure regulation device includes a fluid flow passage, a fluid regulator, and at least one wall member. The fluid flow passage is a passage in which the fluid flows. The fluid regulator is disposed in the fluid flow passage, and configured to regulate a pressure of the fluid. The at least one wall member is disposed upstream of the fluid regulator in a flow of the fluid, and stands from an interior wall of the fluid flow passage.
Fuel supply device
A fuel supply device includes a fuel pump, a filter case that houses a fuel filter, and a port member joined to the filter case, a fuel pumped by the fuel pump from inside a fuel tank is filtered by the fuel filter and supplied from inside the filter case toward an internal combustion engine, and the port member integrally includes a plurality of fuel ports that communicate from inside of the filter case to outside of the filter case.
Fluid delivery module
A fluid delivery module includes a housing with a housing interior volume, the housing defining a first brush compartment and a second brush compartment within the housing interior volume; an inlet which introduces fluid into the housing interior volume; an outlet which discharges fluid from the housing interior volume; a fluid pump within the housing interior volume and having a pump section and a motor assembly which receives electric power through a first carbon brush and a second carbon brush such that the first carbon brush is received within a first carbon brush holder of the motor assembly and the second carbon brush is received within a second carbon brush holder of the motor assembly; and a filter within the housing interior volume which circumferentially surrounds the fluid pump. The first brush compartment encloses the first carbon brush holder and the second brush compartment encloses the second carbon brush holder.
Suction filter
A suction filter includes: a casing having an intake port through which fuel is drawn; a filtration member to filter the fuel to be drawn into the intake port; and a wall component which defines a fuel passage for fuel which passes the filtration member toward the intake port. At least a part of the filtration member is located higher than the intake port. The wall component has an upper end positioned higher than the intake port, and the fuel passage is defined so that the fuel flowing through the fuel passage flows over the upper end.
