US Patent:

7975535, Jul 12, 2011

Filed:

Sep 19, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/233615

Inventors:

Omar Cueto - Jacksonville FL, US

International Classification:

G01M 15/09

US Classification:

7311448, 7311451

Abstract:

Disclosed is both an apparatus and method for quantifying an injection event of a fuel injector, including both multiple pulse and single pulse injection events. Typically, the fuel injector is a common rail injector. The apparatus includes a pressure chamber for isolating a portion of the injection pressure for reducing pressure waves and reflections which can create “noise” in the detection of an injection pressure. The invention further includes determining the precise start and end times of injection using cavitation created by the injection event by determining the intensity of light within a spray chamber.

Dec 1, 2011

Appl. No.:

13/309546

Inventors:

Omar Cueto - Jacksonville FL, US

International Classification:

G01M 15/04

US Classification:

7311445

Abstract:

A fuel injection feedback system comprises a light source disposed inside a fuel injector, an optical sensor disposed inside the fuel injector, and a computing device electronically connected to the optical sensor. The light source is a device configured to emit light capable of being reflected by cavitation. The light source could be disposed on or within the needle or nozzle of the fuel injector, or at a variety of other locations inside the fuel injector. The optical sensor is configured to detect an intensity of light caused by receiving light reflected from cavitation occurring inside the fuel injector.

Appl. No.:

13/566754

Inventors:

Omar Cueto - Jacksonville FL, US

International Classification:

B23P 19/00

US Classification:

29700

Abstract:

A surge chamber configured for releasably connecting a fuel injector to a fuel injection testing machine in an adjustable manner to accommodate the various fuel injector orientations produced by different manufacturers. The apparatus generally comprises a surge chamber receiving a quick connect assembly that is connected to a coupler adapted to connect to the fuel injector being tested. The chamber comprises a swivel cap that permits rotation of the chamber about its longitudinal axis. Such rotation may be desirable where the fuel injection inlet does not connect to the fuel injector at a 90-degree angle, or where the configuration of the fuel injection testing machine requires the injector to be oriented at a certain angle to properly engage a spray chamber.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a surge chamber configured for releasably connecting a fuel injector to a fuel injection testing machine in an adjustable manner to accommodate the various fuel injector orientations produced by different manufacturers. The apparatus generally comprises a surge chamber, a quick connect assembly, and a coupler adapted to connect to the fuel injector being tested. The quick connect attaches to the surge chamber, and the coupler is configured to securely and removably connect the fuel injector to the quick connect via the fuel injector inlet. The test fluid passes from the surge chamber, through the quick connect and coupler, and into the injector, where it is typically injected into a spray chamber. In another embodiment, the chamber comprises a swivel cap that permits rotation of the chamber about its longitudinal axis. Such rotation may be desirable where the fuel injection inlet does not connect to the fuel injector at a 90-degree angle, or where the configuration of the fuel injection testing machine requires the injector to be oriented at a certain angle to properly engage the spray chamber.
