Abstract
To develop gasoline engine fuel pump, it is needed to measure the rotational speed of the pump. In general, because gasoline fuel pump is submerged in the fuel tank, it is difficult to measure the rotational speed directly. Currently, there are two popular methods measuring the rotational speed. One of them is using a piezoelectric accelerometer, and the other is using a current sensor. Originally, a piezoelectric accelerometer had been applied to measure the frequency of the motor vibration. A current sensor is measuring current frequency of the commutator slot. In this study, both the piezoelectric accelerometer and the current sensor have been applied on the fuel pump to calculate the rotational speed at the same time. As a result, the current sensor delivered highly accurate rotational speed information compared with that of the piezoelectric accelerometer. Especially, low rotational speed region, the current sensor shows very robust measuring characteristics. To measure the rotational speed within 1% error, the piezoelectric accelerometer needs to be set with less then 0.5Hz datum storage interval, and the current sensor needs to be set with less then 2.0Hz datum storage interval.
