| Sumario: | [EN] In this paper, a methodology for Phase Doppler Anemometry (PDPA) measurements on a multi-hole diesel injector is developed. Several key considerations were taken into account in this methodology: The windows for PDPA optical access must be clean, since fuel impregnated in these could preclude the droplets velocity acquisition. Some parts, including a device for spray isolation, were designed and manufactured to fulfill this goal. Taking into account that only one spray is measured, the isolation device captures all except three of the sprays (including the spray of interest). The two plumes accompanying the main spray were thought to conserve the actual air entrainment and thus the spray behavior. The spray of interest was aligned horizontally to ease the way that the PDPA measurements are carried out. The plume was lined up by means of the MIE-Scattering macroscopic optical technique. Images were acquired for several injection events and spray contours were detected and processed with a purpose-built Matlab tool. At each time step a spray axis inclination was estimated using the centroids from instantaneous contours. Also, preliminary droplet velocity measurements were made to check the effectiveness of the alignment and spray isolation strategies. Both geometrical characterization and spray alignment had very low measurement error. Radial velocity profiles show that PDPA measurements with this set-up configuration preserved the spray behavior. |
