摘要： In accordance with preferred embodiments of the invention a timing adjustment device includes a cam follower that is engaged between an overhead cam and an injector rocker arm, and is mounted on a rotatable eccentric shaft. The geometry of the eccentric shaft and cam follower is designed so that, as timing is varied by rotation of the eccentric shaft, no change is produced in the vertical height of the rocker arm when the cam shaft is on the outer base circle and the injector is bottomed, in order to assure that the "mechanical crush" of the PT type injector is constant despite changes in timing. In a first application of the timing arrangement, it is used together with a simple injector, which does not utilize a multi-plunger arrangement to form a hydraulic link, to achieve lower parasitic losses. To obtain independent control over injection pressure and timing, a fuel injector in which a hydraulic link is formed between plungers of a multi-plunger arrangement is used with the timing arrangement in order to allow the injection pressure to be maintained constant over a wide range of engine speeds without interfering with engine timing.

摘要： A leak prevention device including an expandable chamber and control valve for preventing fuel leakage into the combustion chambers of a internal combustion engine equipped with a common rail fule injection system including open nozzle injectors and a shut off valve mounted in the common rail upstream of the fuel injectors to isolate, when closed, the fuel injectors from the source of fuel under pressure. The expandable chamber contains a variable volume held in its collapsed condition during engine operation and expanded upon engine shutdown sufficiently to prevent the flow of fuel from any injector into the corresponding combustion chamber. The control valve may be a three way valve for controlling the expansion of the variable volume of the expandable chamber The leak prevention device includes a housing assembly connected with a fuel drain and contains an outlet passage fluidically connected at one end with the variable volume and at the other end with the fuel drain and an outlet check valve for allowing fuel to flow in only one direction from the variable volume into the fuel drain. A control circuit is provided to energize solenoids for operating the shut off valve and control valve.

摘要： A fuel injection system is provided for a multicylinder internal combustion engine. Each cylinder is provided with at least one fuel injector. The system includes a cam-operated pumping plunger which maintains fluid pressure within an accumulator and controls the intermittent application of fluid pressure from the accumulator through a first chamber in which the plunger moves to one end of a metering plunger. The opposite end of the metering plunger coacts with a second chamber in which the metering plunger moves to define a cavity into which fuel is supplied for subsequent feeding to the cylinder injector. Fuel enters the cavity during those periods when the metering plunger is not subjected to the accumulator fluid pressure, the latter being under the control of the pumping plunger. The pumping plunger reciprocates within its chamber and is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. An elongated groove is formed in and encompasses the exterior of the pumping plunger. The effective axial length of the groove may be varied depending upon the relative position of rotation of the pumping plunger within the first chamber, so that the time may be changed as to when the accumulator fluid pressure is intermittently supplied to the metering plunger via the first chamber and during the pumping stroke of the plunger. The rotational adjustment of the pumping plunger is controlled by external means which may be responsive to the operational demands of the engine.

摘要： This disclosure relates to a turbocharged low compression ratio diesel engine. An air by-pass is connected in parallel with the engine and is operable to by-pass a portion of the compressor output around the engine and into the exhaust manifold. A control is connected in the by-pass to regulate the amount of by-passed air, the control operating in response to the compressor output. The by-pass further includes means for heating the air flowing to the turbine to aid fuel combustion in the engine cylinders.

摘要： A communication interfacing device which allows for automatically coupling two diverse communication systems which transmit audio information. The device further includes a telephone answering circuitry which allows a telephone to be interfaced automatically with radio transceivers, computers, and intercoms such that the device will automatically connect and disconnect incoming telephone calls to and from such devices. The system employs voice responsive controllers which affect the timing cycles of individual communication channels to allow for a two-way conversation between remote stations utilizing diverse communication devices. The controllers allow for discriminating between incoming and outgoing calls on a priority basis such that channel switching modes cannot be interrupted until a conversation on the priority channel or an audio signal ceases.
