ELECTROMAGNETIC VALVE
An electromagnetic valve is provided in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine. The electromagnetic valve includes an oil chamber from which lubricating oil is supplied to an interior of the electromagnetic valve.
Fuel feed for motor-driven high pressure fuel pump
An electric GDI pump is configured to allow fuel being pumped to cool the electric motor and associated motor control/drive circuit, and cool and lubricate a drive region of a high-pressure pump before passing through an inlet check valve of the high-pressure pump. The rotational speed of an electric GDI pump is de-coupled from the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine. In such a fuel supply system, the quantity of fuel pressurized can be regulated by changing the rotational speed of the electric GDI pump. According to aspects of the disclosure an electric GDI pump is driven by a variable speed direct current motor having a motor housing with a fuel inlet and a motor drive shaft connected to a rotor. The electric GDI pump may incorporate a low-pressure pump driven by one end of the drive shaft and an eccentric drive driven by an opposite end of the drive shaft.
