A pumping assembly (100) suitable for use as high-pressure fuel pump in a fuel injection system is disclosed. The pumping assembly comprises drive means comprising a drive plate (114) rotatable about a drive axis (A) and including a recess (120) arranged eccentrically with respect to the drive axis (A); a guide arrangement (122, 122a) received, at least in part, in the recess (120) of the drive plate (114) so that rotary movement of the drive plate (114) gives rise to translatory movement of the guide arrangement (122, 122a); a pumping element (108); and a slide member (112) associated with the pumping element (108). The slide member (112) is in sliding engagement with the guide arrangement (122, 122a) to define at least one sliding interface (196, 198) between the guide arrangement (122, 122a) and the slide member (112), such that rotary movement of the drive plate (114) causes reciprocal linear movement of the pumping element (108) along a pumping axis (Q).

A bearing assembly (10; 100) suitable for use as a journal bearing for a high-pressure fuel pump is disclosed. The bearing assembly comprises a generally tubular bearing bush (20; 200) made entirely from a PEEK-based material, and defining an inner bearing surface (22; 222), and a housing (40; 400) comprising a generally cylindrical bore (42; 442) for receiving the bush (20; 200). The bush (20; 200) and the housing (40; 400) are arranged concentrically around a bearing axis (A). The housing (40; 400) includes cooling means (54, 56, 58; 454) for cooling the bearing assembly (10; 100), in use.

The present application relates to a pump unit (101; 201; 201') for a fuel injection system. The pump unit (101; 201; 201') has an inlet valve (107; 207), an outlet valve (109; 209), a supply line (111; 211) for supplying fuel, a pumping chamber (105; 205; 205'), and a plunger (119; 217; 217') for pressurising fuel in the pumping chamber (105; 205; 205'). The inlet valve (107; 207) comprising an inlet valve member (113; 221; 221') movable between a first position and a second position. The inlet valve member (113; 221; 221') has an aperture (117; 229) formed therein. The aperture (117; 229) provides a first fluid pathway between the pumping chamber (105; 205; 205') and the supply line (111; 211) when the inlet valve member (113; 221; 221') is in its first position, and the aperture (117; 229) provides a second fluid pathway between the pumping chamber (105; 205; 205') and the outlet valve when the inlet valve member is in its second position.
摘要:
A method of fuel injection, comprising constructing an hydraulic behaviour profile by fuel pressure measurement, using the hydraulic behaviour profile to predict fuel pressure that will prevail in a fuel injector during an injection event, and supplying a control signal to the fuel injector to control the amount of fuel injected during the injection event in accordance with the predicted fuel pressure. By predicting the fuel pressure that will prevail during an injection event, the fuel delivered during the injection event can be accurately controlled.

A driveshaft (401) for driving a rotor of a positive displacement pump has an axis of rotation (410) and a plurality of flat surfaces (412) arranged symmetrically around and substantially parallel to it. There are also a plurality of cylindrical surfaces (414) arranged around the axis of rotation and extending between adjacent flat surfaces (412). A length of the flat surfaces (412) in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation (410) is greater than a length of the cylindrical surfaces (414) in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation.

A method of controlling NO x emissions in an internal combustion engine is proposed, wherein the engine comprises an exhaust system with oxidation - promoting catalyst means (22) having a NO oxidation efficiency, and wherein the engine is normally operated on a map of normal EGR rates. The engine is operable in a NO 2 -promoting mode that comprises the steps of: determining whether operating the engine under a modified EGR rate would lead to an increased generation of NO 2 , said determination taking into account the variability of the NO oxidation efficiency with the oxidation temperature and the exhaust flow rate; and using the modified EGR rate for engine control in case it leads to an increased NO 2 generation.

A system for pressurised fluid flow comprises a drilled element 100 with a primary bore 110 and a secondary bore 120 with an intersection 130 between them. The drilled element 100 is loaded by at least one loading element which provides a loading force at an end of the primary bore 110. A stress relief layer 140 is provided at a first face of the drilled element 100 and the loading force is provided through it to the drilled element 100. The stress relief layer 140 extends underneath the intersection 130, and the intersection 130 is sufficiently close to the first face of the drilled element 100 that, in use, the loading force provides compressive stress in the drilled element 100 at the intersection 130.
摘要:
A reagent dosing system (10) for an internal combustion engine having an exhaust pipe (20) and a pump are disclosed. The reagent dosing system (10) comprises a first pump (26) having input means (30) for receiving reagent from a reagent supply (22) and output means (32) for delivering the reagent to a supply line (28), and a fluid dosing device (12) downstream of the first pump (26), comprising a nozzle (16) and a second pump (14) for receiving the reagent from the supply line (28) and for delivering the reagent to the nozzle (16), the second pump (14) being operable to increase the pressure of the reagent in the nozzle (16) to an injection pressure so as to cause delivery of the reagent through the nozzle (16). The first pump (26) is operable to increase the pressure of reagent in the supply line (28) to a pressure that is less than the injection pressure so as to guard against overheating of the reagent in the supply line (28). A pump (100) according to the invention is arranged such that, when the pump is not operating, an outlet valve means (135) of the pump is held in an open position so as to allow reagent to flow from the inlet means (102) to the outlet means (104) through the pumping arrangement (108, 154).
