Abstract
A method of controlling a low-pressure fuel pump may include: identifying a fuel consumption amount of the low-pressure fuel pump in response to a feedforward fuel control; determining a motor driving base duty based on the fuel consumption amount; and identifying a target fuel pressure based on the pressure of fuel.
Claims11
A fuel supply system comprising:
- an engine control unit (ECU) configured to determine a target fuel pressure based on a fuel temperature model;
- a fuel pump controller configured to receive a target fuel pressure from the ECU;
- a low-pressure fuel pump configured to pump out fuel at a low pressure based on a fuel consumption amount as a feedforward control variable;
- a pressure sensor configured to detect a pumping pressure of the low-pressure fuel pump;
- a high-pressure fuel pump configured to receive a flow rate of fuel from the low-pressure fuel pump and to pump out the fuel at a high pressure;
- and
- an injector configured to receive the fuel from the high-pressure fuel pump and to inject the fuel.
