What are the causes of unstable idle speed in diesel vehicles?
1 Answers
Diesel vehicle idle speed instability can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Excessive cylinder leakage during idle, leading to significant energy loss in the cylinder: Lower compression temperature and pressure result in poor fuel atomization and greater combustion fluctuations. 2. Small fuel supply during idle: Minor variations in fuel supply to each cylinder can cause differences in their operating conditions. This uneven fuel distribution during idle leads to the phenomenon of diesel engine idle hunting. 3. Unstable fuel supply in diesel engines: The direct injection of diesel engines has driven the development of higher injection pressures, especially with the use of multi-hole injectors, making nozzle precision low and prone to fluctuations when supplying small fuel quantities. 4. Increased usage time and aging of the fuel injection system, leading to uneven fuel distribution: Differences in components such as injectors and delivery valves among cylinders cause further uneven fuel distribution, exacerbating idle speed fluctuations.
