Abstract:
A fuel injection system for supplying pressurised fuel to a fuel injector (50), the fuel injection system comprising an accumulator volume (59) for supplying fuel at a first injectable pressure level (P1) to the fuel injector (50) through a fuel supply passage (52), pump means (63) for increasing the pressure of fuel supplied to the injector (50) to a second injectable pressure level (P2), and valve means (62, 162, 262, 362) operable between a first position in which fuel at the first injectable pressure level (P1) is supplied to the injector (50) and a second position in which communication between the injector (50) and the accumulator volume (59) is broken so as to permit fuel at the second injectable pressure (P2) to be supplied to the injector. The injection system may include valve means in the 15 form of a three-position valve (262) or may include a shut off valve (464; 1464) for controlling the supply of fuel through the fuel supply passage (52).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a fuel injection system having a fuel injection pump, the high-pressure delivery of which is determined by an electrically operated valve (24) which controls a discharge channel (21). The high-pressure delivery phase is determined by closing this valve (24). In order to carry out an injection, sub-divided into a pre-injection and a main injection, and in order to simplify control of the electrically operated valve (24), the cam (5) driving the pump piston (1) is so designed as to create an area in which the pump piston (1), in order to interrupt injection between pre-injection and main injection, maintains the position attained, moves backward, or moves forward more slowly, and the valve (24) is controlled in such a way that, at low rotational speed, the pump working area (10) is closed when the pump piston (1) is in front of the beginning of the cam area (V) preceding the area (P), and open when the pump piston (1) is in the cam area (V), and is closed again at the beginning of the cam area (H) following the area (P), before being opened again in order to complete injection; whereas at high rotational speed the first closing of the valve (24) per delivery stroke takes place in the area (P) without prior pre-injection.
Abstract:
A dual mode fuel injector having first (15) and second (30) valve members. The valve members are actuatable independently of one another and are arranged to open in opposite directions. The valve members control the flow through first (18) and second (29) orifices, one of which injects the fuel at a narrow angle with respect to the injector axis, and the other of which injects the fuel at a wider angle with respect to this axis.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fuel injection system, comprising an injection pump which is fed under high pressure by an electrically operated valve working in a discharge channel (30), the phase being determined by the valve closing. In order to achieve a two step injection, i.e. a preliminary injection and a main injection, and to simplify the stimulation of the electrically-operated valve (24), the came driving the pump piston (1) is so featured as to offer an area (P) where the pump piston stops in its tracks or withdraws, thereby interrupting the injection between the preliminary and the main injection.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement (1) and method for fluid injection, comprising an injector (2), with a chamber (3) for fluid, an opening (4) and a device (5) to change the volume within the chamber (3). The arrangement (1) further comprises a reservoir (6) to store fluid and a pipe (7) for a fluidic connection between the chamber (3) and the reservoir (6). The pipe (7) comprises a part with curved and/or angled shape in fluid flow direction and the fluid flow in the pipe (7) is limited by the part of the pipe (7) with curved and/or angled shape in fluid flow direction during injection.
Abstract:
Multi-stage intensifiers for injectors of pressurized, fluid (e.g., fuel) allowing selection of intensified injection fluid pressure and thus fluid injection flow rate by selectively applying actuating fluid supply pressure to one or more of the multi-stage intensifiers. In a disclosed embodiment, two coaxial unequal sized intensifier pistons (28, 30) are used, with a control valve (22) controlling selective pressurization of either the relatively smaller intensifier piston (30), or pressurization of both the relatively smaller intensifier piston (30) and the relatively larger intensifier piston (28) to control the intensified injection fluid pressure and flow rate of injection. Other embodiments, including ones using multi-stage intensifiers mechanically coupled together, controlled by different types of control valves and having more than two stages are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A fuel system for use in an internal combustion engine, particularly of the type provided with an after treatment device for reducing emissions levels, comprises a fuel pump (10) having a pumping cycle during which fuel is pressurized to a high level within a pumping chamber for delivery to an injector (14). The injector (14) is arranged to provide a primary fuel injection event, and a secondary fuel injection event within the same pumping cycle, in use. The injector (14) includes a valve needle (16) which is engageable with a valve needle seating to control fuel delivery through an injector (14) and injection control valve means for controlling movement of the valve needle (16) so as to control the primary and secondary fuel injection events. The primary injection event may be a main injection of fuel, and the secondary injection event may be a late-post injection of fuel for regeneration of the after treatment device. Engine having an after treatment device.

A device and a method for injecting fuel into a cylinder (2) of a combustion engine (1), including a camshaft influenced injector unit (I), a controllable control valve (22) connected thereto allowing injection in closed or restricted position, wherein a camshaft (27) for influencing the injector unit is synchronised so as to influence the injector unit for injection during the compression phase of the engine. The camshaft (27) is also synchronised to influence the injector unit (I) for injection during the gas exchange phase and a control unit (8) is arranged to influence the control valve (22) for injection synchronously with the first (24) and/or a second (25) cam lobe on the camshaft, as a response to signals indicating the prevailing operational condition of the engine.
