Abstract: A method of controlling a fixed cylinder deactivation (CDA) system of an engine system is provided. The method includes: deactivating, by a controller, a cylinder of the engine system to operate the engine system in a fixed CDA mode; determining, by the controller, a temperature of an injector tip nozzle associated with the cylinder; comparing, by the controller, the temperature of the injector tip nozzle to a threshold temperature; and in response to determining that the temperature of the injector tip nozzle is greater than the threshold temperature, activating, by the controller, the cylinder.

Abstract: A method of controlling a skip-fire cylinder deactivation system of an engine system is provided. The method includes a controller deactivating a cylinder of the engine system to operate the engine system in a skip-fire mode. The method further includes determining a temperature of an injector tip nozzle associated with the cylinder and comparing the temperature of the injector tip nozzle to a threshold a temperature. In response to determining that the temperature of the injector tip nozzle is greater than the threshold temperature, the cylinder is activated by the controller.

Abstract: A tappet assembly (100) used in mechanical equipment includes a tappet body (108) having a cylindrical shape and including a lower carrier portion (152) and an upper shell portion (158) having a cavity (150) defined by an inner wall (160) of the upper shell portion (158) and a top surface (154) of the lower carrier portion (152). The lower carrier portion (152) and the upper shell portion (158) are integrally formed as a single-piece unit. A post (162) extends upwardly from the top surface (154) of the lower carrier portion (152) and is configured to reduce a peak contact pressure associated with the tappet body (108).

Abstract: A method for operating an engine fueling system to manage fuel in an accumulator supplying fuel to an engine including multiple cylinders comprising monitoring fuel load in the accumulator, determining that the engine is operating in a cylinder deactivation mode such as a skip-fire mode during which one or more fueling events to one or more of the cylinders is being skipped, and controlling a supply of fuel from a fuel pump to the accumulator during the cylinder deactivation mode operation. In embodiments, controlling the supply of fuel includes causing fuel to be supplied from the fuel pump to the accumulator if the monitored fuel load is less than or equal to a first fuel load, and causing fuel to be not supplied from the fuel pump to the accumulator if the monitored fuel load is greater than the first load value. Controlling the supply of fuel may comprise controlling the supply of fuel during each fueling event cycle of each deactivated cylinder.

Abstract: A fuel injector for gaseous fuel is provided. The fuel injector includes a valve assembly with a first valve and a second valve. The first valve is actively controlled to permit and prohibit gaseous fuel flow through the first injector. The second valve is spaced from the first valve and passively controlled to open in response to the gaseous fuel flow though the first valve, and to close when the gaseous fuel flow is terminated by closing the first valve.
