Abstract: A power system for a work vehicle includes an intake arrangement for intake of charge air; a fuel arrangement including a fuel tank storing a low carbon fuel blend; an engine configured to receive, ignite, and combust a mixture of the charge air and the low carbon fuel blend; an exhaust arrangement positioned downstream to receive exhaust from the engine during combustion of the low carbon fuel blend; at least one exhaust sensor positioned at or proximate to the exhaust arrangement; and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an initial indication of a composition of the low carbon fuel blend; implement operating parameters with feedforward adjustments based on the initial indication of the composition of the low carbon fuel blend; receive feedback from the at least one exhaust sensor regarding operational conditions; and adjust the operating parameters based on the feedback.

Abstract: A method of dissolving water into diesel fuel in a diesel engine includes pumping fuel through a flow path with a pump, directing a first portion of the fuel into a high pressure rail, injecting the first portion of the fuel into one or more cylinder heads for combustion, directing a second portion of the fuel into a first conduit, and actuating a flow diverter such that, the second portion of the fuel is directed toward a fuel reservoir when the flow diverter is in a first position, and the second portion of the fuel is directed toward the first pump bypassing the fuel reservoir when the flow diverter is in a second position.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fuel injector nozzle where a nozzle seat and a nozzle insert are made using a metal injection molding process. The nozzle seat and the nozzle insert are assembled and bonded together while in their green state. The resulting nozzle assembly is then debinded and sintered to obtain the desired fuel injector nozzle.
