20、urers (ACEA) and Fuel Injection Equipment suppliers describing serious vehicle fuel injector sticking problems in a number of countries across Europe since 2005/2006. The worst affected country was France although sporadic problems had been reported in Denmark, Germany and Spain in recent years. As
21、a result of these diesel vehicle common rail injector sticking field problems WG 24 recommended and CEN/TC 19 endorsed the formation of an ad hoc task force under the leadership of the WG 24 convenor to urgently investigate the injector sticking issue and provide feedback to WG 24 on a monthly basis
22、. 5 Description of injector sticking problems Traditional external “coking” deposits form inside and around nozzle fuel flow holes on the outside tip of injector and are caused by combustion heat and gases, interacting with diesel fuel and engine lubricant components. These deposits can affect the f
23、uel spray pattern and volume of fuel delivered to each cylinder. In the injector sticking case, two new types of internal injector deposits have been reported by vehicle manufacturers and FIE manufacturers, these two new types of internal injector deposits can also be found together (salt crystals i
24、nside a polymeric matrix), see Figure 1: Carboxylate soaps and salt deposits - typically soft, white/tan crystalline deposit; Organic amide deposits - lacquer, polymeric in nature, typically hard, tan/orange/brown deposit. Deposits form on inner component surfaces of the injector restricting fuel fl
25、ow by reducing armature lift and affecting injection timing and fuel volume delivery by armature and injector needle sluggishness and sticking (see also Figure 2). Both Solenoid and Piezo actuated injectors were affected. Smaller component clearances due to increasing injection pressure and highly s
26、ophisticated injection profiles required to meet increasingly challenging emission targets make injection technologies more sensitive to IDID formation than previous generations of direct injectors.

27、creased rate of injector sticking cases was reported in wintertime. Fuel Injection Equipment Manufacturers (FIEM) manufacturers believe the formation of the soaps continues all year round but that deterioration of fuel injector performance is likely to be more apparent to vehicle drivers under cold
28、starting and operating conditions where deviations in precise control of the fuel injection becomes much a more perceptible phenomenon . The IDID Task Force agreed to focus on the carboxylate soap deposits initially as these appeared to be the most serious and independent of the Amide deposit issue
29、which was thought to be related to performance additive detergent (PIBSI). It should be noted however that the amide deposits contribute to the overall level of deposits increasing the likelihood of an injector malfunction or even sticking failure.

31、ark and Spain, with occasional issues in Germany. A higher number of injector sticking cases were reported in the northern part of France. The injector sticking issues in Denmark were however believed to be related to the use of a specific corrosion inhibitor additive - Dodecenyl Succinic Acid (DDSA
32、). Prior to 2003, no injector sticking problems had been reported in France. ACEA experts reported that all OEMs are affected to some extent and that injector sticking failures are not just restricted to Europe as most major US manufacturers of both on and off highway equipment applications with com
33、mon rail systems have also reported injector sticking failures. The US failures were primarily with heavy duty engines as there are relatively few light duty diesel vehicles in the US vehicle parc. The Coordinating Research Council (CRC) Diesel Performance Committee diesel deposits panel have formed
34、 a technical group to investigate injector sticking in cooperation with the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA). In general vehicles covering higher mileages such as taxis and delivery vans are affected the most. Reported injector sticking symptoms include: loss of power and acceleration poor idl

36、 no engine start emission deterioration and non-compliance with long-term emission requirements Problems seem to increase with higher biodiesel content but are not always restricted to biodiesel blends. However fleets running B30 in France have not experienced any problems although this could be due
37、 to the increased solvency of the B30 from the higher level of FAME. Problems have also occurred under high load/high rpm conditions on engine test benches but only with EN 590 diesel fuel with a biodiesel content of at least 5 % v/v. The first indications of similar problems under real driving cond
38、itions for passenger cars and medium/heavy duty vehicles driving more frequently at the high load/high rpm conditions occur after a mileage of 50.000 km to 100.000 km. Injectors retrieved from field vehicles show an accumulation of deposits over time exceeding a tolerable level, particularly when ad
39、ditional deposit material from fuel contamination or by additive compatibility issues is also taken into account. Problems were experienced with light commercial vans in France during 2010/11 timeframe, with a regional distribution of cases (Alsace Lorraine) in western France and also cases of taxi
40、vehicles in Denmark 2010/2011. A large number of technical papers have been published by the industry describing research into injector sticking and references are provided in the Bibliography of this report. 7 Changes influencing internal injector deposits A number of changes in vehicle and fuel qu
41、ality requirements are believed to be responsible for internal injector deposits: More stringent Euro IV and V vehicle emissions standards requiring high pressure (1800 bar) fuel injection pressures and hence very small internal injector clearances, increased operating temperatures and more sophisti
42、cated injection profile; Sulfur free diesel with lower aromatic levels, resulting in reduced natural fuel solvency for polar compounds; Increased biodiesel blending up to 7 % FAME provides an additional source of sodium and weak acids (fatty acids). 8 Deposit forming mechanism Common rail internal i
43、njector deposit analysis conducted by FIEM/OEM and fuel/additive companies confirmed the presence of carboxylate soap/salts and organic amide (see Figures 3 and 4). Figure 3 shows a typical spectrum from FTIR analysis of the deposits detected carboxylate (major peaks) and organic amide functionality

45、that can result in the formation of carboxylate salts and soaps as well as organic amide deposits: a) Carboxylates can be sodium salts of DDS acid (Dodecenyl Succinic) and HDS acid (Hexadecenyl Succinic) corrosion inhibitors. b) Carboxylates can be sodium salts of fatty acids. c) Carboxylates can be
46、 sodium salts of low molecular weight PIBSA/PIBSI based materials. d) Sodium hydroxide (caustic, NaOH) can react with fatty acids in biodiesel and acidic lubricity additives to form fatty acid salts. Also corrosion inhibitors can contain sodium e.g. sodium nitrite/sodium hydroxide. Caustic is very a
47、ggressive, forming insoluble salts with biodiesel and most lubricity additives, including ester types. It is very likely that the carboxylate sodium soap deposits are formed by a reaction between sodium in the fuel and weak acids from biodiesel and/or corrosion inhibitors. 9 Potential sources of sod
