AFTC is pleased to announce that they have received a Phase II SBIR contract award titled
“Ultra-High Pressure Jet Propellant- JP-8 Fuel Injection.” The objectives of this project are to design, develop and conduct durability testing on a multi (6)-cylinder amplified fuel injection system that is capable of producing at least 40,000 psi peak injection pressure using JP-8 fuel. By raising injection pressures from current levels of about 20,000 psi , it has the potential to improve engine efficiency and lower engine emissions.
The system will be designed to seamlessly package on a current production medium-heavy duty diesel engine. AFT will develop appropriate injection control strategies and hardware to provide multiple injection capability.
The developed system will be run on a test bench for a period of 1000 hours to verify the system reliability and durability.
The contract will run for 24 months and is valued at $727,086.
