Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19951410A1] The invention relates to a method and a device for varying a supply pressure (p_soll) applied to a high pressure pump (3) and generated by a low pressure pump (2), whereby said low pressure pump (2) and said high pressure pump (3) supply fuel to an internal combustion engine (1). In the inventive method the following steps are disclosed: determination of the current temperature (T_Krst) of the fuel in the high pressure pump (3); calculating the lowest possible supply pressure (p_soll), depending upon the fuel temperature (T_Krst), that would reliably avoid any fuel vaporisation in the high pressure pump (3); controlling or regulating the low pressure pump (2) in such a way as to maintain the calculated supply pressure (p_soll); whereby the supply pressure (p_soll) is kept as low as possible to relieve the low pressure pump (2) and the supply pressure is kept high enough to reliably avoid vaporisation of fuel in the high pressure pump (3). The method is preferably carried out using physical models of the high pressure pump (3).
