Abstract:
A discharge valve of a high-pressure pump is placed in a discharge passage and is openable to enable flow of fuel from a pressurizing chamber to a discharge outlet in response to a fuel pressure difference between the pressurizing chamber side and the discharge outlet side. A relief is placed in a relief passage. The relief passage communicates between a branching portion, which is located on a side of the discharge valve where the discharge outlet is placed in the discharge passage, and a return portion, which merges with a damper chamber. The relief valve is openable to enable flow of the fuel from the branching portion to the return portion in response to a fuel pressure difference between the branching portion side and the return portion side. A discharge passage orifice is placed between the discharge valve and the branching portion in the discharge passage and constricts a flow passage cross-sectional area of the discharge passage.
Abstract:
In a method for controlling a fuel injection system (10) of an internal combustion engine, wherein the fuel injection system (10) comprises a manifold (24) and a high-pressure pump (20) and a fuel dosing unit (16) is associated with the high-pressure pump (20), wherein the fuel dosing unit (16) controls the amount of fuel delivered, an amount of fuel required for the operation of the internal combustion engine is determined as a function of a correction factor, which is based on a fuel pressure at the inlet of the high-pressure pump (20) and/or on a vapor pressure of the fuel to be delivered.
Abstract:
A method for determining a temperature of fuel in an injection system, in which the temperature of the fuel is ascertained as a function of a temperature of a coil of a metering unit of the injection system, a total resistance of the circuit of the metering unit being measured, and a proportion of a resistance of the coil in the total resistance of the circuit being calculated, and the temperature of the coil being calculated from the resistance of the coil.
Abstract:
A liquid pump includes an electronically controlled throttle inlet valve to control pump output. With each reciprocation cycle, a plunger displaces a fixed volume of fluid. When less than this fixed volume is desired as the output from the pump, the electronically controlled throttle inlet valve throttles flow past a passive inlet check valve to reduce output. As a consequence, cavitation bubbles are generated during the intake stroke. Cavitation damage to surfaces that define the inlet port passage are avoided by a specifically shaped and sized cavitation flow adjuster extending from the valve member of the passive inlet check valve. By positioning the cavitation flow adjuster in the inlet port passage, a flow pattern is formed in a way to encourage cavitation bubble collapse away from surfaces that could result in unacceptable cavitation damage to the pump.
Abstract:
When a starter is started, a start-control duration time is established based on a fuel pressure at engine starting and a target fuel pressure. The start-control duration time corresponds to a duration after the engine is started until a difference between an actual fuel pressure in an accumulator and a target fuel pressure becomes lower than a specified value in a case that the fuel pump discharges the fuel at a maximum rate. A fuel pump discharges the fuel at the maximum rate during the estimated start-control duration time.
Abstract:
A spool valve is movably provided in a valve sliding space of a valve casing. The spool valve has a through-hole formed in the inside thereof, and a communication port formed in the spool valve is operatively communicated with a fluid port for controlling an opening area of the fluid port by moving within the valve sliding space. Multiple circular oil grooves are formed at an outer peripheral surface of the spool valve, into which high pressure fluid is supplied so that the spool valve can be smoothly moved in the valve sliding space.

Abstract:
A method and system for controlling an internal combustion engine is provide. The engine has a fuel-supply device, a low-pressure circuit and a high-pressure pump, to which a control valve for a volumetric flow is allocated is provided. Said pump is coupled on the inlet side to the low-pressure circuit and transports fuel to a fuel accumulator. An estimated value of the drive torque of the high-pressure pump is determined in accordance with the fuel pressure in the fuel accumulator. A loss torque is determined in accordance with the estimated value for the drive torque of the high-pressure pump and additional loss-torque fractions, which are dependent on a motor speed and additional operating variables. A target torque is determined in accordance with the loss torque and an actuating signal for controlling an actuator of the internal combustion engine is generated from the target torque.
Abstract:
A fuel injection pump for a piston engine, the pump comprising a cylinder element having a pressure plenum provided with an outlet chamber for removing pressurized fuel from the pressure plenum, a piston arranged to reciprocate inside the pressure plenum, an inlet chamber arranged outside the pressure plenum and at least one inlet channel arranged between the pressure plenum and the inlet chamber. At least one fill channel provided with a non-return valve is arranged between the pressure plenum and the inlet chamber, the valve allowing fuel flow from the inlet chamber to the pressure plenum but preventing flow from the pressure plenum to the inlet chamber.
Abstract:
A fuel supply system is incorporated into a diesel engine including a low-pressure fuel pump 2, a high-pressure fuel pump 3, a common rail 4, fuel injection valves 5 and a fuel return line 14. The fuel supply system reduces the discharge rate of the low-pressure fuel pump 2 supplying the fuel to the high-pressure fuel pump 3 when the diesel engine is in an idling state and the temperature of the fuel is below a lower fuel temperature threshold and when the diesel engine is in an idling state and the temperature of the fuel is above an upper fuel temperature threshold. The flow rate of the feed fuel discharged from the low-pressure fuel pump is reduced when an idling state or a specific state where the fuel is at a specific temperature. Thus the fuel line system of the fuel supply system can be built in a lightweight arrangement and the piping of the fuel line system can be simplified.
