A cap assembly adapted to be fixed on the body member of a pressure regulating valve defines an internal cylindrical volume for enclosing a magnetic plunger member. The cap assembly includes a cylindrical magnetic cap member in which is totally inserted a non-magnetic cylindrical tube member, the tube member being adapted to be fixed on the valve body member.

A valve has a valve housing in which a closure element having at least one sleeve section is movable along its sleeve longitudinal axis by an actuator to open and close a fluid connection between a fluid inlet and outlet. The actuator has stationary and movable parts relative to the valve housing. At least the movable parts and the closure element are arranged entirely within an enclosed fluid space between the fluid inlet and outlet. To close the fluid connection spaced first and second seal devices of a double-sealed seat are in sealing contact with equally-spaced first and second counter-seal devices on the valve housing along first and second closed seating lines, respectively. With regard to the at least one double-seal seat, the ratio between first and second areas enclosed by first and second sealing lines in projection along the sleeve longitudinal axis, respectively, is between 6/10 and 10/6.

A solenoid valve for controlling fluids includes: a closing element, which opens and closes at least one outlet opening on a valve seat; a magnetic circuit having an armature, an internal pole and a magnetic return path; and a coil. The armature is connected to the closing element. The magnetic circuit includes (i) a nonmagnetic separating element for interrupting the magnetic circuit and (ii) a magnetic choke device closing the magnetic circuit on the nonmagnetic separating element, which magnetic choke device is a separate individual component which is fixed using a form-locking and/or a force-locking connection.

A solenoid valve for controlling fluids includes a closing element that opens and closes at least one outlet opening on a valve seat, and a magnetic circuit that includes an armature, an internal pole, a magnetic return path, and a coil, the armature being connected to the closing element. The magnetic circuit includes a nonmagnetic separating element for interrupting the magnetic circuit and at least one magnetic crosspiece running in a direction of a longitudinal extension of the valve and situated on the nonmagnetic separating element.

A solenoid-based fuel injector is described. The fuel injector comprises a tubular body (48) comprising a magnetic material and an armature (16) disposed inside the tubular body. The tubular body has an integrally-formed, inwardly-projecting shelf (52) configured to provide a pole piece.

An upper housing is provided between a fixed core and a housing opposite to a nozzle hole with respect to a coil. The upper housing is configured to form a magnetic circuit with the fixed core and the housing. The upper housing has a first tapered surface formed on an outer peripheral wall and a first cylindrical surface formed on an inner peripheral wall. The housing has a second tapered surface that radially faces the first tapered surface. The fixed core has a second cylindrical surface that radially faces the first cylindrical surface.

A fuel injection control device is adapted for a fuel injection system including an injector and a high-pressure pump that raises pressure of fuel and supplies the fuel to the injector. The fuel injection control device includes a selecting unit for selecting by which one of full lift injection and partial injection to inject fuel, and a pump control unit for controlling operation of the high-pressure pump such that a pressure of fuel supplied to the injector coincides with a target pressure. The selecting unit selects the partial injection when a required injection quantity of fuel is equal to or smaller than a partial maximum injection quantity. A fuel injection system includes the fuel injection control device, the injector, and the high-pressure pump.

A fuel injection valve includes a valve body, a coil, an inner fixed iron core that is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the coil, and an outer fixed iron core that is arranged on an outer peripheral side of the coil. The fuel injection valve also includes a movable element that is configured to be attracted to the inner fixed iron core and the outer fixed iron core, wherein the movable element is configured to be separable from the valve body and is configured to move the valve body.

An inlet valve assembly for a fuel pump comprises a valve assembly inflow path and valve assembly outflow path; a magnetic valve member situated in an intermediate flow path fluidly linking the inflow path and the outflow path; a magnetic pole adjacent the valve member; and a selectively energizable coil for generating a magnetic flux directly magnetically coupling the pole and the valve member; whereby the valve member opens and closes fluid communication between the inflow path and the outflow path in response to the energized state of the coil.

In a solenoid actuated inlet control valve for a fuel pump, the risk of fuel leakage from the control valve in the event of damage to the electromagnetic actuator for the inlet control valve is reduced by hydraulically isolating an actuation module containing the electromagnetic coil from a delivery module containing the hydraulic flow paths, and providing a breakaway connection between the actuation module and the delivery module.
