Abstract

In the scope of the cluster of excellence "Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass" new biofuels are developed within an interdisciplinary research approach at RWTH Aachen University. The most promising fuel candidates so far tend to have a low viscosity and a low lubricity compared to diesel fuel. It is the task of the authors to develop a guideline for designing injection systems that are especially adapted to these fuels. The main focus is on high pressure pump within common rail systems. In this paper; the effects of those fuel candidates on the tribological contacts in standard common rail pumps are investigated by means of experiments and simulations. On the experimental side a test rig is presented; which allows the measurement of the transversal force on a piston and the friction force; which occur in the piston/bushing- contact. On the simulation side; elastohydrodynamic simulation models of several tribological contacts within the standard pump are presented. Results of simulation and measurement are presented

Keywords
