Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a valve arrangement for a fuel injection system, including a valve disc that has a valve opening. A deformable valve sheet that is movable in a movement direction is provided to open and close the valve opening, and a valve shaft of a movement-activation arrangement, provided to activate the movement of the valve sheet, is secured to the valve sheet. The embodiments also relate to a high-pressure pump which includes the valve arrangement.
Abstract:
A high-pressure fuel pump includes a pump housing, a pressurizing member, a suction valve seat, a suction valve body, and a suction valve chamber. The suction valve seat includes a first projected wall section that is projected to an upper side in a vertical direction. The pump housing includes a second projected wall section that is directed to the upper side in the vertical direction. A height of the lowest position in a portion of the second projected wall section that is projected to the upper side in the vertical direction is higher than a height of the lowest position in a portion of the first projected wall section that is projected to the upper side in the vertical direction. A first initial fuel pool is provided on an downstream side of the second projected wall section and on the upstream side of the suction valve seat.
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for a direct injection fuel pump. The methods and system control pressure within a compression chamber so as to improve fuel pump lubrication.
Abstract:
A valve device includes a housing, a flow duct and a valve body. The valve body is arranged in the flow duct and bears with a sealing section against a housing-side sealing seat when the valve device is closed. The valve body is guided along a movement axis by a housing-side guide surface and bears with a stop surface against a housing-side movement limiting surface when the valve device is open to the maximum. The guide surface is provided by a guide element, and the sealing seat and the movement limiting surface are provided separately by the guide element.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for correct spill valve timing of a high pressure pump coupled to the direct injection system of an internal combustion engine. A method is needed to monitor and adjust spill valve timing on-board the vehicle, where spill valve timing error may result from sensors error and/or time between command signal and actuation response of the spill valve. To self-correct spill valve timing error on-board a vehicle, methods are proposed that involve monitoring and recording fuel rail pressures, high pressure pump duty cycles, and fractional liquid volume pumped values in order to find zero flow relationships.
Abstract:
An automotive fuel pump having a body with an inlet, an outlet, and an elongated chamber therebetween. A relief valve, relief valve housing, and check valve are respectively disposed in the chamber between the inlet and the outlet. The relief valve housing has a portion which extends across the chamber so that a first axial end of the relief valve housing forms a valve seat for the check valve while the other axial end forms a valve seat for the relief valve. The check valve permits fluid flow from the body chamber to the outlet while the relief valve exhausts excess fluid pressure at the outlet back into the body chamber.
Abstract:
A pump unit for a fuel injection system is disclosed. The pump unit has a low pressure fuel supply line and a high pressure fuel outlet. A pumping chamber having a plunger is operable to perform a pumping cycle comprising a pumping stroke and a filling stroke. The pump unit also includes an inlet valve having an inlet valve member movable between an open position for permitting the supply of fuel to the pumping chamber from the low pressure fuel supply line and a closed position for inhibiting the supply of fuel from the pumping chamber to the low pressure supply line. An outlet valve is provided in the high pressure fuel outlet. The pump unit also includes means for coupling the plunger to the inlet valve member. The present application also relates to a method of operating a pump unit; and a valve for a fuel injection system.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for rapid zero flow lubrication of a high pressure fuel pump, wherein a fuel rail pressure rapidly responds to commanded duty cycles. A method is needed to control operation of the high pressure pump during times when no direct injection is requested by an engine system and when operation of the high pressure pump is continued to maintain pump lubrication. To lubricate the high pressure pump while gaining zero flow rate data, methods are proposed that involve both open and closed loop control of the high pressure pump.

Abstract:
A quantity control valve comprises a valve needle configured to move in an axial direction, a damping chamber having a wall, and a valve element delimiting the damping chamber. The valve needle is configured to move the valve element in an opening direction. A gap is defined between the wall of the damping chamber and the valve element. The gap has at least one recess and connects the damping chamber to a flow duct.
