Control method for an overpressure valve in a common-rail fuel supply system

Abstract

Control method for an overpressure valve (12) in a common-rail fuel supply system (1), the method including the phases of: delivering fuel under pressure, via a high-pressure pump (6), to a common rail (5) equipped with the overpressure valve (12) that is set to discharge the fuel present in the common rail (5) into a discharge line (11) when the fuel pressure inside the common rail (5) exceeds a safety value (p safety ); piloting, during a diagnostic test, the high-pressure pump (6) to increase the fuel pressure inside the common rail (5) beyond the safety value (p safety ) in order to trigger operation of the overpressure valve (12); determining, during the diagnostic test, the flow (m HP ) of the high-pressure pump (6) and/or the fuel pressure inside the common rail (5); and comparing the flow (m HP ) of the high-pressure pump (6) and/or the fuel pressure inside the common rail (5) during the diagnostic test with respective threshold values (m test and p test ).
