This creates a varying volume between the rotor and the scroll during each revolution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(a) High Load:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Large Pockets:<\/strong> As the rotor rotates at high engine load, the eccentric position allows for the formation of larger pockets between the rotor and the scroll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>More Fuel Delivery:<\/strong> During each rotation, these larger pockets fill completely with fuel on the inlet side and are carried towards the outlet on the discharge side. This results in a higher volume of fuel delivered per revolution, satisfying the increased fuel demand at high engine loads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>(b) Low Load:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Smaller Pockets:<\/strong> At low engine load, the cam follower pin position creates smaller pockets between the rotor and the scroll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Less Fuel Delivery:<\/strong> These smaller pockets fill with less fuel during each rotation, resulting in a lower overall volume of fuel delivered per revolution, matching the reduced fuel requirement at low engine loads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The pump doesn&#8217;t have an external mechanism for actively controlling fuel flow. The varying volume pockets created by the rotor&#8217;s eccentric movement achieve the metering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Engine speed remains relatively constant, and the varying fuel delivery based on load is achieved by the scroll pump&#8217;s internal design.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">The specific shape and dimensions of the scroll and rotor profile determine the pump&#8217;s performance characteristics and fuel delivery curve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Modern scroll type pumps might incorporate control mechanisms for additional adjustments or integration with electronic engine management systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scroll type fuel pumps are positive displacement pumps commonly used in large diesel engines, particularly marine applications.
