Project 2-Development of an Ultra-High Pressure Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) Fuel
Injection System for the Navistar MAXX Force DT Engine.
The second Army program began in 2010 with a Phase 1 project to demonstrate an
intensified fuel injector that can achieve 40,000 psi injection pressure using JP-8 fuel. We
were able to successfully reach the goal on a single cylinder bench and were subsequently
awarded a Phase 1 Option and then a full Phase 2 program. The total value of these
projects is $846,000.
Our Phase 2 program is based on using an advanced (new) version of our DME fuel
pump, a unique new common rail and a modified Navistar hydraulically intensified
injector.
The pump, although similar in concept to our proven DME pump, has a 25% larger
displacement, and can run at up to 4000 rpm. It is physically smaller, lower cost and
more robust than our previous pumps. It is capable of pumping lube oil (for the Army
project), hydraulic fluid, diesel fuel, JP-8 and DME at pressures above 500 Bar (7500-
8000 psi). It is an inlet throttled design that provides infinitely variable flow output
without mechanical complexity. Therefore, it should be attractive to both the fuel
injection and industrial hydraulics market.
The CEO is one of the original inventors & developers of this injector
This Phase 2 project was started in July 2011 and is ahead of plan. We will have
hardware running in several months. This is an extremely challenging program because
of the very high pressures that must be achieved. To our knowledge, there are no
commercial fuel injection systems that can achieve 40,000 psi.
This program will be completed in August 2014. When successful, we believe that there
will be a U.S. and international market for this product using both DME and diesel fuel.
We are already starting to look at packaging a special version of the intensified injector
on popular truck, construction and agricultural engines.
