The high-pressure fuel pump is called the "heart" of the diesel engine and is the most important part in the fuel supply system of the diesel engine. Its basic function is to provide high-pressure diesel oil to the injector regularly and quantitatively. Whether the high-pressure fuel pump of the diesel engine works normally has a crucial impact on the operation of the entire diesel engine. Common faults and solutions of high-pressure fuel pumps:
1. The diesel engine cannot be started:
The reason why the diesel engine cannot start is that the low-pressure oil circuit cannot supply oil to the high-pressure fuel pump.
(1)There is air in the oil circuit, which prevents fuel from entering the fuel supply chamber of the high-pressure fuel pump. This is a normal phenomenon for diesel engines that have been placed for a long time. The treatment method is to loosen the bleed screw of the high-pressure fuel pump, deliver oil to the high-pressure fuel pump with the hand oil pump, remove the air, and then tighten the bleed screw. If it doesn't work, you can first loosen the oil pipe joint of the filter to bleed, and then use the bleed screw to bleed.
(2)The low-pressure oil circuit is blocked, making the low-pressure oil chamber of the high-pressure fuel pump empty of oil. The clogged parts mainly include the filter screen of the oil inlet port of the fuel pump and the filter element of the filter. The reason for the clogging is dirt, which is a normal technical change. If found, it should be removed or replaced immediately.
(3) The low-pressure oil delivery pump cannot supply oil to the high-pressure fuel pump. The oil pump piston is severely worn or damaged, and the spring or other parts are damaged. This failure phenomenon can be caused by finding out the cause and replacing it.
(4) The oil delivery pipeline supplying oil to the high-pressure fuel pump or its connection part leaks seriously. Check whether the oil pipe joint is loose and whether the oil pipe is damaged. If it is loose, it must be tightened, and if it is damaged, it must be replaced.
2. The diesel engine is weak:
The reason for the failure of the diesel engine to work is mainly due to the insufficient oil supply of the high-pressure fuel pump.
(1) The oil supply pump is insufficient to supply oil to the high pressure oil pump. The reason is that the oil pump piston is excessively worn or the check valve is deformed and caused by debris. Remove debris and inspect its parts for damage and replace if necessary.
(2) The high-pressure fuel pump supplies insufficient oil to the injector. The reasons are the wear of the plunger coupling, the breakage of the plunger or the oil outlet valve spring, and the poor seal of the oil outlet valve. The plunger coupling and the oil delivery valve coupling are severely worn, and the spring should be replaced with a new one if it is broken or deformed.
3. Diesel engine cruiser:
The main reason for the failure of the diesel engine traveling block is that the high-pressure fuel pump supplies oil to each cylinder unevenly or the governor does not work properly.
(1) The oil supply unevenness of each cylinder exceeds the standard. Under idling conditions, the unevenness of oil supply to each cylinder shall not exceed the specified range (generally 12%). Otherwise, the car may hobble when idling. If necessary, the oil supply unevenness should be adjusted on the oil pump test bench.
(2)The fuel injection pressure difference of each cylinder is too large, and the atomization quality is uneven, which also makes the diesel engine speed unstable. At this time, the fuel injection pressure should be adjusted to improve the atomization quality and ensure that the pressure deviation of each cylinder is within the allowable range.
(3) The flyweight of the governor is not flexible. The inflexible opening and closing of the flyweight leads to a decrease in the sensitivity of the governor, which makes the diesel engine speed unstable.
(4) The transmission and connection parts of the high-pressure fuel pump governor are worn. After wear and tear, the gap between the interconnected parts is too large, so that the opening and closing actions of the flyweight cannot be transmitted to the oil quantity control gear rod in time, and the increase or decrease of oil lags behind, resulting in the phenomenon of wandering.
(5) Improper adjustment of idle speed. The lower the speed, the greater the unevenness of fuel supply, so the idle speed is too low and it is easier to travel. At this time, the idle speed can be appropriately increased by adjusting the idle speed limit screw.
4. The speed of the diesel engine does not meet the standard:
The diesel engine cannot reach the calibrated speed, mainly because the oil quantity control gear rod of the high-pressure fuel pump is not pulled in place, and the maximum oil supply is low. The reasons are as follows:
(1) The control handle of the high-pressure fuel pump cannot be pulled in place and cannot be in contact with the maximum oil quantity limit screw. At this time, you can check whether the length of the secondary throttle limit screw is withdrawn and whether the swing of the control handle is blocked due to looseness. The above results may also occur if the pedal stroke is too small, that is, the control handle of the fuel injection pump cannot touch the maximum fuel volume limit screw when the pedal is depressed to the bottom.
(2) The speed regulating spring of the governor becomes soft and long, and the tension is insufficient. When increasing the preload of the governor spring still fails to meet the standard, it means that the governor spring is too deformed and should be replaced.
(3)The oil volume control gear rod of the high-pressure fuel pump is stuck. The inflexible movement of the gear rod or the looseness of the oil volume adjustment ring gear will reduce the maximum oil supply volume, which should be ruled out according to the specific situation.
