2. INGAS Meeting, Regensburg, 13 October 2011Mirko BARATTA INGAS INtegrated GAS Powertrain 2 WP A2.2 – Injection system development Main objectives and Status summary: - Setup of a model of the real-geometry injector with moving needle, in order to investigate the injector non-linearity for short injection duration. - Simulations run with lift profiles measured by Siemens p rail =20 bar, t i =500-1000-1500-2000  s=> DONE p rail =14-16-18 bar, t i =500-1000-1500-2000  s=> READY TO BE RUN The most significant tests should be selected (e.g. p rail -sweep @ t i =1000  s). -> Should we consider this work as pertaining to Task A2.2.2 (“Development of a new injector concept and optimized nozzle layout”) or Task A2.2.4 (“Analysis and improvement of the over all injection system”)? Based on DoW, PT has no MM in Task A2.2.4. -> Should PT give a contribution to DA2.7? INGAS Subproject SPA2
