Abstract:
Disclosed is a fuel conveying unit comprising an electric motor and a return ring (8) that is made of plastic-bonded ferrite as a single piece along with magnetic shells (10). The magnetic shells (10) induce a magnetic flux that is closed by the return ring (8). The electric motor requires a particularly low number of parts that are to be assembled and can be produced inexpensively.
Abstract:
A boat has an outboard motor that is mounted to a hull and has a fuel system. The outboard motor has a cowling housing an engine. The fuel system includes a fuel pump disposed within a sealed container. The sealed container provides a physical and thermal barrier to seawater and engine heat that may otherwise degrade fuel pump operation. The sealed container can also include an internal insulator.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for setting the feed rate of a fuel pump unit, which sucks up fuel from a fuel tank 8, as a function of the feed pressure, which is built up by the fuel pump unit, in an outlet 25 of the fuel pump unit, which outlet leads to an internal combustion engine. The fuel pump unit has a first pump stage and a second pump stage, the two pump stages being connected in parallel below a defined feed pressure in the outlet 25 of the fuel pump unit and being connected in series above the defined feed pressure.
Abstract:
The brushless direct current motor comprises a housing 10, a stator 13 and a rotor 11 within the housing, windings on the stator, sensors for sensing the position of the rotor relative to the stator and electronic circuitry for switching the current in the windings in response to outputs from the sensors to cause the rotor to rotate relative to the stator. The sensors and at least a part of the electronic circuitry are encapsulated in an electrically insulating and fuel resistant material in a container within the housing.
Abstract:
A header 10 is provided for connecting a fuel tank flange 16 to a fuel pump 24. The header 10 includes a body 12 constructed and arranged to be coupled to the fuel tank flange in a sealed manner. Terminal structure 26 extends through the body and has a first end 28 constructed and arranged to provide an electrical connection outside of the fuel tank flange, and a second end 30 constructed and arranged to electrically connect directly with an associated terminal 32 of the fuel pump.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a delivery unit for delivering fuel in a motor vehicle. The invention is characterized in that a plastic casing (11) of a rotor (10) of an electric motor (1) is configured as one piece with a bush (13). A housing part (5) of a delivery pump (2) comprises a bearing shell (14) for said bush (13). This permits the delivery unit to be produced and mounted in a particularly cost-effective manner.
Abstract:
Controlling means of a fuel injection system regulates an energization amount of an electric motor in accordance with a sensing signal outputted from common rail pressure sensing means. Thus, the controlling means controls a fuel supply quantity of a low-pressure pump. Thus, power consumption of the electric motor driving the low-pressure pump can be regulated in accordance with a pressure-feeding quantity of a high-pressure pump. As a result, the power consumption of the electric motor can be reduced and wasteful fuel supply of the low-pressure pump can be reduced.
Abstract:
In fuel supply systems with two fuel pumps connected in series and fuel valves that inject directly into the combustion chamber, there have been occasional problems. The proposal is made that in order to eliminate these problems, the first fuel pump operates with increased delivery capacity, particularly during the startup process and in the event of high fuel temperature. The fuel supply system is provided for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle.
Abstract:
The present invention achieves an increase in the amount of vapor that is expelled, stabilized fuel injection and improved starting characteristics in a fuel injection pump. In an electromagnetically driven fuel injection pump 20 which allows fuel to escape into the return passage 5 in the initial region of the pressure-feeding stroke of the plunger 21, and which pressure-feeds fuel into the injection port 33 in the later region of the pressure-feeding stroke, pulse powering of the coil 23 that does not lead to the injection of fuel, i.e., pulse powering which is such that the plunger 21 performs a reciprocating motion through the initial region, is performed when the engine 2 is in an idle operating state, or in a state in which the engine 2 is re-started after being stopped immediately following high-load operation. As a result, vapor can be expelled with good efficiency, and the flow rate of the circulated fuel is increased so that the cooling effect is also increased, thus causing the generation of vapor to be suppressed as well, so that the starting characteristics or re-starting characteristics are improved.
Abstract:
An electric pump draws and discharges fluid. When the fluid receives heat from the pump, the fluid has a saturation vapor pressure that can surpass the pressure of fluid that is drawn into the pump and is lower than the pressure of fluid discharged from the pump. The pump includes an electric motor; a pump section that is driven by the electric motor to draw, pressurize, and discharge the fluid; and a housing for accommodating the pump section. The housing defines a motor chamber that accommodates the electric motor. The pressure in the motor chamber is equal to the pressure of fluid that is discharged from the pump section. Therefore, the pump prevents fluid in the motor chamber from vaporizing.
