The aim of this work was the modelling and the simulation of the Piezo injector, developed by Siemens VDO Automotive for “spray guided” Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) systems.

The injector was accurately modelled in its three subsystems, namely the piezo actuator, the thermal compensator and the valve body, in order to have a complete control on its behaviour. The reliability and the accuracy of the models of each subsystem were evaluated through comparisons with experiments for various operating points.

Abstract
The aim of this work was the modelling and the simulation of the Piezo injector, developed by Siemens VDO Automotive for “spray guided” Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) systems. The development of the model was based on a 1D lumped parameter approach, which was performed in the AMESim environment. The injector was accurately modelled in its three subsystems, namely the piezo actuator, the thermal compensator and the valve body, in order to have a complete control on its behaviour. The reliability and the accuracy of the models of each subsystem were evaluated through comparisons with experiments for various operating points. The last part of this work describes some applications where the model was used and it demonstrates how accurate modelling and simulation may allow a real contribution in the understanding and optimization of the injector behaviour, reducing time and costs that are involved in an only experimental analysis.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
