Abstract

The LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) fuel attracts attention as a clean alternative fuel. In order to further reduce the exhaust emission and improve performance in LPG engines, the LPLi(Liquid Phase LPG Injection) system is used. In LPLi system, the fuel pump performance is important for keeping the LPG over it's saturated vapor pressure. An external fuel pump is needed to improve the durability for LPG engines. This paper predicted the variation of fuel properties on the LPLi system with an external fuel pump. From each component's thermodynamic model, an 1-D simulation is developed for LPLi system with an external fuel pump. Then the 1-D simulation data analyzed and compared with the rig-test. The 1-D simulation and the rig-test produced similar results.
