Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel supply system for a vehicle and a driving method thereof, and more particularly to a fuel supply system for a vehicle, which accurately estimates a temperature of a fuel present between a low- And a method of driving the fuel supply system.
The boiling point of gasoline is about 30 ° C to 200 ° C, and it evaporates easily at room temperature. As described above, the property of vaporization from a liquid to a gas is called volatility, and a liquid having a high volatility is easily vaporized.
The temperature of the fuel is one of the important factors for correcting the fuel injection. Depending on the temperature of the fuel, the density changes and the overall volume changes. The amount of fuel flowing into the cylinder of the first engine and the amount of fuel flowing into the cylinder of the second engine are different even if the fuel is injected into the two engines having different temperatures for the same time.
Therefore, accurate detection or estimation of the temperature of the fuel can accurately control the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder. The amount of fuel injected into the cylinders must be correct so that the engine can be normally driven and a desired fuel economy can be obtained.
As a first method of detecting the fuel temperature, a temperature sensor may be disposed in the low-pressure pipe to directly detect the temperature of the fuel. Here, the first method is advantageous in that the temperature is directly measured by using a temperature sensor, thereby achieving high accuracy. However, there is a disadvantage in that the cost is increased due to the necessity of additionally providing a temperature sensor, and there is a problem that leakage may occur in the process of sending fuel through pressure.
As a second method of detecting the fuel temperature, it is possible to estimate the fuel temperature of the low-pressure pipe by analyzing other factors besides the fuel. Here, the second method is advantageous in that it is not necessary to provide a temperature sensor and cost reduction and leakage can be prevented. However, there is a problem in that the accuracy of the fuel is low because the fuel temperature is indirectly estimated through other factors rather than directly measuring the temperature of the fuel.
When the fuel is at a high temperature, air bubbles may be generated in the duct for sending out the fuel. If air bubbles are generated in the pipeline, the fuel injection from the DGI (Gasoline Direct Injection) system will not be performed properly, and the cylinder will not be able to accurately detect the cylinder. Such bubbles in the pipeline can be removed by sending the fuel to high pressure. However, there is another problem that the fuel consumption is lowered when the fuel is always supplied at a high pressure in the entire section of the oil pipeline. Therefore, there is a demand for a fuel supply system for a vehicle and a driving method thereof, which can accurately estimate a fuel temperature in a low-pressure section without increasing costs and improve fuel economy.
The inventors of the present application recognize the above-mentioned problems and propose the following technical problems.
