Ultra High Pressure Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) Fuel Injection
Phase 2 SBIR

Agency: Army
Topic: A09-199
Budget: 08/11/11 - 08/11/13
PI: James McCandless
The Army uses intensified fuel injection systems on a number of their diesel powered vehicles. These systems are currently limited to injection pressures of about 20,000 psi. In an effort to increase thermal efficiiency (fuel economy), raise power output and operate on a variety of heavy hydrocarbon fuels, the army desires to develop an ultra-hi...

Development of the Bosch CP-3 Common Rail Pump for JP-8 Fuel
Phase 2 SBIR

Agency: Army
Topic: A08-128
Budget: 04/25/10 - 04/25/12
PI: James McCandless
Development of the Bosch CP-3 Common Rail Pump for JP-8 Fuel. In Phase 1, tests showed that the CP-3 pump had high wear after only 500 hrs. of testing using JP-8 fuel. This wear is caused by the very low viscosity of the fuel, and the lack of effective anti-wear additives in the fuel. The primary problems identified are: (1) tappet wear, (2) plu...

Ultra High Pressure Jet Propellant-8 (JP-8) Fuel Injection
Phase 1 SBIR

Agency: Army
Topic: A09-199
Budget: 04/02/10 - 10/02/10
PI: James McCandless
The author is one of the original members of an engineering team that developed the first production intensified common rail injection system (CAT-Navistar HEUI), and we are therefore very familiar with this technology. We (AFT) have developed a 450-500 bar (6500-7250 psi) common rail pump that is used in our prototype DME fuel system. Although ...

JP-8 Fuel Effects on High Pressure Common Rail Pumps
Phase 1 SBIR

Agency: Army
Topic: A08-128
Budget: 01/20/09 - 02/22/10
PI: James McCandless
The Army uses JP-8 fuel for both its tactical and non-tactical, diesel powered vehicles. Some of the commercial engines used by the Army employ high pressure, common rail fuel injection systems to lower exhaust emissions, especially particulates. Modern common rail injection systems produce pressures of 1500 to 2200 bar. These systems are design...
