Powertrain Systems

The Delphi DP310 Rotary Mechanical Diesel Fuel Injection Pump is based on the Delphi DP210 Series, and is a viable alternative to electronic control for diesel engine applications up to approximately 85 kW that must meet U.S. Tier III emissions standards. The DP310 Injection Pump’s performance capability includes improved advance control, enhanced fuel/torque curve shaping and improved pump-to-pump timing.

The main components of the DP310 Injection Pump include:

• Fuel inlet with inlet pressure variation and fuel viscosity compensation
• Transfer pump with pressure regulator
• Four-plunger pumping element with enhanced filling capability
• Distributor system with reduced high-pressure volume
• Internal cam ring with scroll plate filing control
• Advance control with increased light load advance travel
• Cold running advance for operation at low engine coolant temperatures
• Zero backlash drive shaft with increased shaft locking torque and improved timing accuracy
• Metering valve
• Mechanical all-speed governor
• Torque trimmer with excess fuel provision
• Electric shut-off
• Transient advance control

Options include:

• Clockwise or anti-clockwise drive
• Boost control for turbocharged engines
• Mechanical generator set governing
• Electronic generator set governing conversion capability
• Rape methyl ester (RME) compatible component package
• Adaptors for quick fitting, low pressure connections
• Two-plunger design for low ratings and indirect injection (IDI) applications
• Timing overcheck feature
• Snubber valve to attenuate return pressure waves in high pressure lines

Benefits

• Light load advance enhancements are designed to help meet U.S. Tier III emissions standards for engines up to approximately 85 kW. Retarded full load injection timing reduces nitrous oxide emissions, and light load advance travel capability to 28° engine maintains misfire margin at part load. The light load advance is set on each pump and the speed advance is controlled by a fixed stop at rated speed to provide advance consistency. The advance response rate is optimized to help prevent transient misfire.
• Torque curve shaping provides delivery capacity up to 120 mm³ of fuel per pumping stroke and enables higher levels of torque backup.
  
• An available solenoid actuated cold advance helps prevent misfire when the engine coolant is low.
• New methods of measuring and setting injection timing help meet U.S. Tier III emissions requirements. Once the pump is set, the drive shaft can be clamped using an improved locking method.
• Available industry-standard adaptors for quick fitting connectors provide low pressure system connection to the inlet and backleak of the pump. The advance box enables packaging in confined engine installations.
• Transient advance control retains additional advance during fast load transients to help eliminate white exhaust smoke during acceleration.
• Optional elastomer seals throughout the pump enable bio-diesel fuel compatibility.

Typical Applications

The Delphi DP310 Rotary Mechanical Diesel Fuel Injection Pump is suitable for three-, four- and six-cylinder engines in on- and off-road applications. It can be used on naturally aspirated and in turbocharged engines, with or without charge air cooling.

Performance Advantages

The basic operating principal of the Delphi DP310 Rotary Mechanical Diesel Fuel Injection Pump is the same as the highly successful Delphi DP200, DPS and DPA fuel injection pumps. Fuel enters the pump and is raised to a pressure of about six bar for proper control of fuel quantity and timing. Between injections, fuel is fed through a control (metering) valve into the distributor rotor center. At full fuel, the valve is held open and the pump delivers maximum fuel quantity. It is regulated by the maximum displacement of the pumping plungers and controlled by moveable scroll plates. A maximum fuel curve shaping device is designed specifically for each engine application to optimize fuel delivery at any engine speed. At lower engine loads, fuel is controlled via the governor, which throttles filling of the pump. During the pumping phase, the plungers are forced inward causing an injection pulse to travel from the pump to the injector in the engine cylinder via the delivery valve and high pressure pipe. Timing of the injection is controlled or altered by rotation of the cam relative to the pumping plungers and drive shaft.

The Delphi Advantage

Delphi is actively involved in the development of advanced diesel technology that will help manufacturers meet stringent emissions standards while enhancing fuel economy and performance. Extensive experience in high pressure fuel injection technology has also helped Delphi develop several innovative design and control strategies to meet customer needs for cost-competitive, high value injection systems that provide accurate injection over the life of the engine, helping maximize emissions and providing robust performance and low noise.

Delphi has 15 diesel design and engineering centers located in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, and 21 diesel manufacturing facilities in 13 countries enabling exceptional on-time delivery.
