연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

1. A secondary injection system for injecting an additive into the intake manifold of a compression ignition diesel engine of the type having a primary fuel system and a changeable rotation speed, the system comprising: an additive monitoring sensor; andan electronic controller comprising: a clock signal generator that generates a clocking signal having a rate that is independent of the rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine;a microcomputer coupled to the clock signal generator and configured to monitor data providing rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine, receive a signal from the additive monitoring sensor and output a pulse width modulated fluid injector pulse train; anda driving circuit connected to receive the pulse width modulated fluid injector pulse train, the driving circuit generating control signals configured to control 1 to n pulse width modulated electrical additive injectors that are not part of the primary fuel system, the additive injectors for injecting an additive into the intake manifold of the compression ignition diesel engine,wherein the microcomputer is configured to not synchronize the pulse width modulated fluid injector pulse train with position of the diesel engine but instead to command injection pulse instants which are unsynchronized to engine position and which occur at an injection rate which is referenced to the clocking signal rate, the microcomputer continually adjusting the commanded injection pulse instants in response to changes in rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer retrieves various data parameters from a J1939 data stream including engine RPM, Engine load, and coolant temperature. 3. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer determines if the proper level of additive is present and when the proper engine operating conditions are met, is configured to turn on a fluid pump electrical relay. 4. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer calculates with linear interpolation and extrapolation software routines from data stored in a 3 dimensional array a commanded injector pulse width. 5. The system of claim 1 wherein the system does not use a crankshaft sensor or other direct means to measure engine position. 6. The system of claim 1 wherein the system does not use a pressure sensor or other direct means to measure engine load or fuel rate. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein the engine has a crankshaft, and the microcomputer is configured to create start of injection pulse instants which are not exactly synchronized to the exact position of the engine crankshaft but occur at a rate of injection which is approximately proportional to the speed of crankshaft rotation and such injection rate is constantly adjusted to the most recently available RPM value as obtained from a J1939 data. 8. The system of claim 1 including an ability to allow selectable injector output pattern firing-orders by use of a programmable table. 9. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer is further configured to monitors the additive fluid level or pressure and turn on a diagnostic lamp or notify the operator in another way if the system operation is not within prescribed parameters. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer is configured to use a data communications interface to a PC type computer and a graphical human interface to allow for modifications to stored calibration parameters and to see current operating conditions within the system. 11. The system of claim 1 wherein the microcomputer is configured not to require discrete sensor devices to directly measure engine load or engine temperature. 12. A method for injecting a fluid additive into the intake manifold of a compression ignition diesel engine of the type having a primary fuel delivery system and a changeable rotation speed, the method comprising: generating a clocking signal having a rate that is independent of the rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine;monitoring, with at least one processor, data providing rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine;receiving, with the at least one processor, a signal from an additive monitoring sensor;generating, with the at least one processor, a pulse width modulated fluid injector pulse train without synchronizing the pulse width modulated fluid injector pulse train with position of the diesel engine but instead by determining injection pulse instants which are unsynchronized to engine position and which occur at an injection rate which is referenced to the clocking signal rate;continually adjusting the determined injection pulse instants in response to changes in rotation speed of the compression ignition diesel engine; andin response to the modulated fluid injector pulse train, generating drive signals configured to control 1 to n pulse width modulated electrical additive injectors that are not part of the primary fuel system and which inject an additive into the intake manifold of the compression ignition diesel engine. 13.
