Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1420156A2] The fuel injectors have multiple piezoelectric cells (16) to atomize the fuel. Control of the resonant fuel injectors uses a processing circuit (10,12) which monitors the periodic excitation of a fuel injector, and a selector (14) for the piezoelectric cells to be excited. The magnitudes of electric signals in the excitation circuit are monitored to detect disfunction of the injectors.
