A valve has a housing defining an interior of the valve. The valve has a first passage in the housing and a second passage in the housing. The valve has a flow limiter movable between a first position at which the first passage is in fluid communication with the second passage and a second position at which the first passage is not in fluid communication with the second passage. The valve has a flow restriction device movable between a first position at which a first flow rate is permitted into the interior of the valve and a second position at which a second flow rate is permitted out of the interior of the valve. The first flow rate is greater than the second flow rate.

In order to prevent damage to a drive component, fail safe devices are often used to break a rotational coupling between an apparatus, such as a pump, and the drive component, such as a crank shaft of an engine, in the event of the apparatus seizing. In order to break the coupling between a drive component and an apparatus, the rotational coupling includes a coupler that is operable to rotate in a first direction attached to a shaft via a threaded fastener. A predetermined break away torque is set by tightening the threaded fastener in a direction opposite than the first direction with a predetermined tightening torque. A torque transmission interface includes opposing surfaces of the coupler and the shaft that remain fixed relative to one another below a predetermined break away torque and move relative to one another above the predetermined break away torque.

Noise and vibrations associated with a common rail fuel system drive linkage are reduced by synchronizing a high pressure common rail supply pump with engine operation. This may be accomplished by selecting a linkage associated with a desired ratio of engine speed to pump speed along with selecting a number of pump plungers and cam lobes that results in synchronizing action of the pump with engine combustion events. In particular, a pattern of pumping events per engine cycle repeats during each engine cycle. In a more sophisticated version, the pattern of pumping events per engine cycle includes a sub-pattern of pumping events that repeats an integer number of times each engine cycle, where the integer number equals the number of engine cylinders.

A fuel injector for a fuel system is disclosed. The fuel injector has a nozzle member and a needle valve member slidingly disposed with the nozzle member. The nozzle member has a tip portion, at least one orifice disposed at the tip portion, a base portion, and a female conical seating surface disposed at the base portion. The needle valve member has a tip end configured to selectively restrict fuel flow through the at least one orifice, a base end, and a male conical seating surface disposed between the tip end and the base end. The male conical seating surface is configured to engage the female conical seating surface to restrict fuel flow through the at least one orifice and has a hydraulic surface area greater than a hydraulic surface area of the base end of the needle valve member.

An apparatus is provided for suppressing spark damage to components of a solenoid operated valve assembly. The assembly may include a solenoid having a solenoid coil and an armature movable under the influence of the solenoid coil. A valve member may be operably connected to the armature and configured to selectively contact a valve seat. An element may be associated with the solenoid operated valve assembly and configured to suppress spark discharge between two or more of the components of the valve assembly.

A system for selectively intensifying fuel for injection utilizing a fuel injector having an intensifier piston connected to a drain and a pressurized fuel source. The intensifier piston includes a control chamber co-axially positioned opposite from an intensification chamber, and a pressurization chamber co-axially positioned between the control chamber and the intensification chamber. The control chamber selectively fluidly communicates with the pressurized fuel source and the drain. The intensification chamber fluidly communicates with the pressurized fuel source and the pressurization chamber fluidly communicates with the pressurized fuel source and a nozzle assembly.

Often there is a limited fuel injector spatial envelope above and within a cylinder head for a fuel injector. In order to fit a fuel injector with a direct control needle valve and a capability of injecting fuel at a rail pressure and an intensified pressure into the limited fuel injector spatial envelope, the present disclosure includes a fuel injection system in which a pressure intensifier and nozzle outlets of a fuel injector are fluidly connected to a source of fuel via an intensifier line and an injector line, respectively. The flow of fuel to the pressure intensifier is controlled via a valve attached to the source of fuel.

A fuel injector for an engine having at least one combustion chamber is disclosed. The fuel injector has a needle valve element with a base end and a tip end. The tip end of the fuel injector has a valve sealing surface. The fuel injector also has a control chamber located at the base end of the needle valve element, and a nozzle member. The nozzle member has a central bore configured to slidingly receive the needle valve element, and a valve seating surface configured for engagement with the valve sealing surface of the needle valve element. The nozzle member also has at least one radially disposed injection orifice and an annular groove located within the valve seating surface. The injection orifice is configured to communicate the central bore with the at least one combustion chamber.
