Publication number: 20250043782Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a liquid feed system for a compressor, capable of easily forming fine droplets of a liquid to be injected into the compressor. A liquid feed system 100 of a compressor 1 for compressing a gas injects a liquid 50 into the inside of the compressor 1. The liquid feed system 100 adjusts the temperature of the liquid 50 to be injected into the compressor 1 to a temperature at least equal to a saturation temperature Tf corresponding to a pressure inside the compressor 1, and adjusts the temperature to a temperature lower than a saturation temperature Ti corresponding to a pressure of the liquid 50 at the time of injection into the compressor 1, and then injects the liquid 50 into the compressor 1.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2022Publication date: February 6, 2025Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tomoyuki HOSAKA, Eiji ISHII, Kazuki YOSHIMURA

Patent number: 11118523Abstract: Provided is a fuel injection device and a control unit therefor which enable reliable ignition even in a case where fuel pressure is low immediately after starting an engine. In the control unit for controlling an injector injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine, a plurality of injectors is provided in the internal combustion engine, a static flow rate of a first injector is configured to be smaller than a static flow rate of a second injector. In a case where a fuel pressure of fuel supplied by a pressurizing unit is lower than a set value set lower than a fuel pressure in warming up, an injection ratio of the first injector is controlled to increase according to a difference between a fuel pressure of fuel from the pressurizing unit and a fuel pressure in warming up.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2017Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Tomoyuki Hosaka, Taisuke Sugii, Eiji Ishii, Yoshihiro Sukegawa, Masayuki Saruwatari
