Abstract: A fuel pump for an internal combustion engine comprising a barrel having a longitudinal axis that spans between a proximal end and a distal end and a central bore therein. A plunger is disposed at least partially in the central bore and is configured to move along the longitudinal axis. An annular seal assembly is arranged around the circumference of the plunger wherein the annular seal assembly includes a seal retainer housing and a first seal and the seal retainer housing also retains the proximal end of the barrel thereon to form a second seal wherein the first and the second seals reduce the fuel to oil transfer rate and the oil to fuel transfer rate. The plunger and barrel are configured to be removed from and re-assembled with the annular seal assembly to enable service of these parts and the fuel pump.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for fuel injection are disclosed. The apparatus includes an inner sac with one or more primary passages extending therefrom. The one or more primary passages inject fuel therethrough and comprising a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, where the second portion is disposed between the first portion and the third portion and has a cross-sectional area smaller than that of both the first portion and the third portion. The apparatus also includes one or more secondary passages extending from an outer surface of the apparatus to fluidly couple with the second portion of the one or more primary passages. The one or more secondary passages inject air to form fuel-and-air mixture with the fuel injected from the one or more primary passages.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a high-pressure fuel pump including a barrel unit, a plunger, and a camshaft assembly having an eccentric cam lobe including a surface of the lobe. A follower is provided between the plunger and the surface of the lobe of the camshaft assembly to facilitate translation between the rotational movement of the camshaft assembly to axial movement of the plunger. The follower includes arcuate surfaces configured to mate with corresponding arcuate surfaces of the lobe of the cam shaft assembly and the plunger, respectively.
