ABSTRACT
The diagnostics of combustion engine components currently requires the integration of many technical and scientific fields in order
to quickly and accurately locate faults or pinpoint the causes of malfunction. This article analyzes the wear of injectors based on
the geometric indicators of the fuel spray. Using a number of available parameter data, a selection has been made to best judge
the wear of injectors in their operating conditions. Optical fuel spray tests were used to assess the injector wear. Various geometric
indicators of the fuel stream have been presented, indicating their diagnostic utility and applicability. In conclusion, it was found
that the current injection systems require the combination of mechanical injector diagnostics and advanced optical fuel spray
diagnostics.
