Mechanisms in a Caterpillar Fuel Pump System used in Heavy Equipment
Caterpillar diesel built-in engines use the Caterpillar fuel pump and powerful nozzle injection system. A Cat fuel pump is a crucial attachment to any heavy construction machine. Each internal pump of the Caterpillar fuel injection pump system measures the amount of diesel fuel to be injected into a separate cylinder and produces the high pressure required for fuel to be injected. The overall injection pump plunger system is picked up by cam action and easily returned by spring action. These strong plungers are turned from the main governor action through a frame that interconnects with the gear segment system on the bottom layer of the pump plungers. All of Cat’s internal pumps are similar to other injection pumps and centrally mounted on the main pump housing.
The solid sleeve metering and different scroll-type pumps in the fuel system that is utilized by the Caterpillar Company to operate on the same fundamentals. These special “jerk” pumps are enclosed in solo injection pump housings and normally referred to as special in-line multiple-plunger systems. These multiple-plunger pump systems significantly boost the capability of the fuel system.
Primary Function of Fuel Pumps:
The fuel pump system pushes gasoline from the fuel tank to the Caterpillar Machine built-in engine and also allocates the fuel under low pressure to the machine’s carburetor or to the powerful fuel injection system under the extreme pressure. The carburetor engines use a low-pressure pump system, which are placed outside of the machine’s fuel tank. Fuel-injected Cat engines normally have the automatic electric fuel pumps mounted in the internal fuel tank.
Basic Components of Fuel Pump Module:
A fuel pump serves three major functions. The first is to filter oil or fuel in a machine’s gas tank to avoid contamination from reaching the internal pump. Now, the second function is to push gasoline from the machine’s gas tank to the carburetor or inner fuel injection system. The last (and certainly not least) function is to send useful information to the tool’s cluster of measurement gauges, i.e. fuel levels. To get these three major functions while operating the machine, a fuel pump module system requires a variety of useful parts.
Fuel Pump Module Heavy Equipment Parts:
A fuel pump module system requires a high-quality fuel inlet strainer to filter the fuel. The strainer component is the most basic part of the module, but it is extremely crucial. To pump the diesel fuel from an internal fuel gas tank to the powerful combustion system, the fuel module needs an electric pump system, a fuel line system, and an automatic electric system to control it. A segment of the electric system also conveys information to the tool’s cluster that shows the fuel level.
