IN LINE INJECTION PUMP LUBRICATION

LUBRICATION SYSTEM

An injection pump requires an appropriate lubri­cation system to ensure high-speed operation even under high temperatures and pressures. The lubrication points of an injection pump are roughly divided into parts that are lubricated by engine oil and parts that are lubricated by diesel fuel.


1. LUBRICATION BY ENGINE OIL

In this method, part of the engine oil used to lubricate the engine is diverted to the injection pump in order to lubricate the mechanical gover­nor and driving mechanism of the pump.

2. LUBRICATION BY DIESEL FUEL

The injection pump plungers, delivery valves, injection nozzles, and feed pump piston are lub­ricated by the diesel fuel as it passes through them. (See figure below.)Because the sliding surfaces of these parts are lap-finished the clearance between them is very small. This is especially so in the case of the plungers — they are finished to the extremely close tolerance of about 1 /1000 mm (0.00004 in) to enable them to withstand the very high pres­sures (up to 30 MPa; 300 kgf/cm2; 4,300 psi to which they are subjected, without leakage.Since any foreign material that finds its way into the fuel system can damage or seriously impair the operation of these parts, clean fuel is essential to proper operation of the engine.

  1. The high pressure in Diesel engines is the tradeoff for having perfect timing. Instead of worrying about the spark plugs misfiring, you have to make certain that your diesel fuel pump and all the other equipment can withstand the compression. 4,300 psi explains why the engines are so powerful.

  2. nice post.... fuel injection is a relatively new innovation. Typically run at pressure of 2 to 3 bar. Is that possible to run on more that this pressure??

  3. lubrication of diesel pump is necessary in Inline Pumps. Inline pumps have drive shaft, bearings and mechanical governors which need lubrication. Nice post

  5. Great Share...

    Lubrication and injector plays an essential role in the efficient working of the diesel engine.

    Using original diesel parts is also vital, so I like buying genuine parts from wholesaler at http://dieselgrossisten.no/.

    The information you have shared is quite informative and easy to understand.

    Thanks
    :)

  6. Good one !!!
    specialty lubricants oil reduces wear and tear in sliding/moving parts of machines thereby prolonging their life.

  9. The information you have posted is very useful. The sites you have referred was good. Thanks for sharing. Gate valves are primarily used to permit or prevent the flow of liquids. It is because of their ability to cut through liquids, that they are commonly used in this industry. With an increase in the global energy demand, the demand for the equipment used in the oil and gas industry is also on a rise. So here we have the list of Top Global Gate Valve Manufacturers. gate valve manufacturers
