Abstract:
A cover for an internal combustion engine assembly that includes a pressurized fuel accumulator feeding fuel to at least one injector is provided, the cover defining, with a cylinder head, a volume designed to receive the common rail and the injector. The cover borders a first, sub-volume, designed to receive the injector, and a second sub-volume separated from the first sub-volume by a separation wall of the cover and designed to receive the common rail. The cover includes a frame to be fitted on the cylinder head and a cap removably fitted on the frame. The separation wall is designed for the passage of a fuel connection connecting the injector to the common rail.
Abstract:
In a fuel system for delivering pressurized fuel both to an internal combustion engine and to an exhaust installation, the fuel system includes two separate branches for delivering fuel to the internal combustion engine and to the exhaust installation, and includes a primary fuel pump delivering fuel to both branches of the fuel supply circuit. The primary fuel pump output is controllable independently of the engine speed. The pump output may be controlled such that the pressure of fuel in the fuel supply circuit depends on whether fuel is to be delivered to the exhaust installation. The fuel system may include a hydraulically controlled shut-off valve arrangement which is forced to switch depending on the pressure in the fuel supply circuit.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (10) for a common rail fuel injection system (102), wherein the device (10) comprises a one-piece module (12) which comprises a common fuel line (14) and a plurality of injector bodies (16) in fluid communication with the common fuel line (14). The present invention also relates to a vehicle (100) comprising such a device (10). The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a device (10) for a common rail fuel injection system (102).
Abstract:
A fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine includes: an injector having a hydraulic control chamber controlling the delivery of fuel through the injector, an actively controlled first valve system controlling the pressure relief from the control chamber, movable between: a first position in which the first valve system closes the injector by deterring the pressure from being relieved from the control chamber through the first relief circuit, and a second position in which the first valve system opens the injector by allowing the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the first relief circuit. A second relief circuit allows the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the second relief circuit. The second relief circuit includes a second valve system passively controlled by the fuel pressure and movable between two positions deterring or allowing the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the second relief circuit.
