Abstract: An injector arrangement is disclosed which comprises a valve needle urged into engagement with a seating under the action of the pressure of fuel within a control chamber. A needle control valve controls communication between a source of fuel at high pressure and the control chamber, and also between the control chamber and a low pressure drain. The needle control valve includes a valve member including an end which is engageable with a surface extending in a plane normal to the axis of the valve member to close a port communicating with the low pressure drain.

Abstract: A fuel pressure regulation system for a compression ignition diesel engine. The system comprises a fuel supply line connected to an inlet of a transfer pump and a transfer pressure fuel line connected between the transfer pump outlet and the high pressure fuel pump inlet. A fuel filter is positioned in the transfer pressure fuel line and a fuel spill line fluidly connects a fuel pressure regulator to the transfer pressure fuel line at a point between the transfer pump outlet and the fuel filter. A fuel return line is connected between the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel supply line and a control fuel line is connected between the fuel pressure regulator and the transfer pressure fuel line. The fuel pressure regulator comprises a bore within which is located a valve member moveable from a non-regulating position of the fuel pressure regulator to a regulating position of the fuel pressure regulator. In use, any fuel entering the bore through a control fuel line connection acts upon a valve member thrust surface which results in a force acting to open the fuel pressure regulator. Any fuel entering the bore through the fuel spill line connection enters a region between the first end and the second end of the bore. There is provided a leak passageway connected from a point between the first and second ends and a fuel return line connection. In normal operating use, a fuel flow path from the fuel spill line connection to the fuel return line connection is kept open when the fuel pressure regulator is in the non-regulating position.

Abstract: A fuel pipe assembly for supplying fuel to a fuel injector located within a bore of an engine cylinder head comprises a tube nut for connecting the fuel pipe to the fuel injector and a securing arrangement comprising a locking nut and a deformable clamp member for securing the fuel pipe within the tube nut. The tube nut comprises a tubular member defining an axial bore to receive the fuel pipe, a distal end shaped for cooperation with the head of the fuel pipe, and a proximal end having an attachment mechanism for engaging a compatible attachment mechanism of the locking nut. The locking nut has an axial bore to receive the fuel pipe, and an attachment mechanism for engaging a compatible attachment mechanism of the tube nut. The clamp member defines a bore to receive the fuel pipe and is deformable under compression. In a first state of engagement, the locking nut and tube nut define a volume therebetween that accommodates the clamp member in an unstrained configuration and the fuel pipe is able to move laterally. In a second state of engagement, the clamp member is compressed between the locking nut and tube nut into a strained configuration such that lateral movement of the fuel pipe is constrained.

Abstract: A passive valve assembly for controlling the flow into or out of chamber (3) through a port (4). The valve assembly comprises a valve element (5) arranged to open in the direction of flow through the port. The valve element (5) has a piston (9) which is reciprocable in a cylinder (10) containing gas. On opening of the valve, gas is compressed in a first chamber (11) of the cylinder (10), and this energy of compression is used to reverse the direction of the valve element (5) and return it to its seat.

Abstract: An accumulator fuel system for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of engine cylinders, includes an accumulator fuel volume for supplying high pressure fuel to one or more of a plurality of injectors, each of which is arranged to supply fuel to an associated one of the engine cylinders. The accumulator fuel volume is integrated within an engine component, where the engine component provides a purpose other than that solely of an accumulator volume for storing high pressure fuel. The accumulator fuel volume is therefore defined in an existing engine component, to reduce part count, weight and cost. In one embodiment the accumulator fuel volume is defined within a rocker shaft of the engine and in another embodiment within the engine cylinder head.
