Performance of DI diesel engine with high fuel injection method is directly related to its emission characteristics and fuel consumption. In this study, numerical model of 3rd generation piezo-driven injector was designed to analyze the hydraulic performance. Also the injection response characteristics was investigated by using the AMESim simulation code. From this study, it was shown that 3rd generation piezo-driven injector had a faster response and had better control capability due to its hydraulic bypass-circuit that has potential to higher hydraulic characteristics and improved accuracy of injected fuel quantity.

CRDi technology of diesel engine was developed from in the early 2000s due to a need to increase fuel efficiency and environment care. Especially, high-pressure fuel injection system in CRDi system which has a fuel injection unit including an injector, a fuel pump and common-rail, etc. becomes possible to make the exhaust gas clean as well as power improvement. In this study, comparison of dynamic characteristics of servo-hydraulic piezo-driven injector with 3-way and bypass-circuit type was analyzed by using the AMESim code. As results of this study, it found the bypass-circuit inside servo-hydraulic piezo injector can cause a faster injection response than that of the 3-way type. Also it was shown that bypass-circuit type had better control capability due to hydraulic bypass system.

For the reliable use of inkjet technology as patterning tools, the jetting of the inkjet dispenser needs to be monitored for real-time detection of any malfunction. We present a self-sensing circuit that can be used to detect jetting failure by measuring electrical signals only. In addition, practical problems involved in the monitoring of inkjets in multinozzle printheads are discussed. In the study, software was developed and presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method for detecting inkjet jetting failure in a printing system.
