A fuel injector includes a nozzle body having a spray tip with at least one spray orifice and a needle slideably arranged in the nozzle body in order to control the spray orifice. A control chamber is associated with the needle, which is filled with high-pressure fuel in order to exert a pressure force on the needle in its closing direction; the control chamber being in communication with a high pressure fuel channel through an inlet restrictor and with a low pressure drain through an outlet restrictor via a control valve to selectively allow or hinder the flow of fuel out of the control chamber through the outlet restrictor. The inlet restrictor and outlet restrictor are designed so that the ratio of outlet fuel flow rate over inlet fuel flow rate increases at low fuel temperatures, in order to cause a greater pressure reduction in the control chamber.

A fuel valve includes a housing, a nozzle with nozzle holes opening to a volume inside the nozzle at the front end of the housing, a gaseous fuel inlet port in the housing connected to high pressure gaseous fuel, an axially displaceable valve needle received in a longitudinal bore in the housing, and rests on a valve seat in a closed position and has lift from the valve seat in an open position, the valve seat placed between a fuel chamber and an outlet port, the fuel chamber connected to the fuel inlet port, the outlet port connected to the volume in the nozzle, an actuator system for moving the needle between the closed and open positions, an ignition liquid inlet port connected to high pressure ignition liquid, and a conduit connecting the ignition liquid inlet port to the fuel chamber, the conduit including a fixed flow restriction.

A piezo injector includes a piezo actuator arranged in an actuator chamber and a valve plunger arranged in a valve plunger bore and having a first end face facing the piezo actuator. The valve plunger is arranged between a first control chamber defined by a valve plunger bore portion delimited by the first end face and a spring chamber formed by a valve plunger bore portion opposite the first control chamber. A second control chamber is delimited by a second face of a nozzle needle and a sleeve guided by the nozzle needle. A leakage pin is arranged in a leakage pin bore between the piezo actuator and the first end face of the valve plunger. The leakage pin bore is formed in an intermediate plate arranged on a side of a control plate facing the piezo actuator, the valve plunger bore being formed in said control plate.

A nozzle assembly for a fuel injector includes a nozzle needle (1), which is accommodated in a high-pressure bore (2) of a nozzle body (3) in such a way that the nozzle needle can be moved in a reciprocating manner in order to open and close at least one injection opening (4) and to which a spring force of a spring (5) is applied at least indirectly in a closing direction. The nozzle needle (1) is at least partially surrounded by a throttle bore body (7) in order to form at least one closing throttle (6). The throttle bore body (7) has a multi-part design and comprises at least two sleeves (7.1, 7.2), which are at least partially guided in each other.

An arrangement of a high-pressure valve at the end of a common rail of a fuel injection system, a high-pressure channel of the rail opening out at one extremity of the rail, includes a throttle stopper arranged at the extremity of the rail. An output orifice restricts a section of the high-pressure channel and a valve seat is positioned in the throttle stopper. The output channel is fully formed inside the valve body.

A fuel injection apparatus for a piston engine includes a fuel injector body in which an injector needle is provided, which injector needle is arranged to prevent or allow fuel injection flow from the injection apparatus based on the position of the injector needle. The position is effected by a pressurized control fluid so that by applying the pressurized control fluid the needle may be urged towards its closed position and by reducing the pressurized control fluid the needle may be allowed to move away from its closed position. The injection apparatus includes a flow path for the control fluid, wherein the flow path for the control fluid comprises a restriction section providing a restriction effect to the control fluid flow. The restriction section includes at least one temperature-effected member providing a temperature-dependent restriction effect.

In a quantity limiting valve for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine including a cylinder with an inflow region and an outflow region separated by a piston axially movably disposed in the cylinder and a flow limiting fluid flow path extending along the piston between the inflow and outflow regions wherein the piston is biased with its front surface into contact with a stop element, the contact area between the front surface and the stop surface includes between the piston and the stop element a contact structure providing for an intermediate space which is in communication with the inflow region thereby to expose the front surface of the piston to the pressure of the fluid in the inflow region.

The present disclosure relates to a device for a high-pressure pump for a motor vehicle comprising a valve housing and an actuator assembly arranged substantially along the central axis of the valve housing. The actuator assembly may include a recess extending from a first end. The actuator assembly may include at least one hydraulic compensation opening extending through a wall of the actuator assembly from the recess into an exterior region. It may also include a volume body in the actuator recess spaced apart from the actuator assembly and extending into a region of the at least one hydraulic compensation opening. The volume body may be immovable relative to the valve housing. The actuator assembly may move along the central axis relative to the valve housing and relative to the volume body.

An internally pressurized component is provided that includes a main body having at least one cavity; at least one branch having a bore which runs through the branch into the cavity of the main body; at least one separate insert element which is arranged in frictionally locking fashion at least partially in the bore of the branch. The component, at least in that region of the bore at which the separate insert element is arranged, is formed, by way of an autofrettage treatment, as a compacted wall region, and the separate insert element is arranged with an oversize in the bore.

A valve cylinder partitions a first intermediate chamber from a second intermediate chamber. A first valve element in the first intermediate chamber includes a tubular high-pressure-side valve portion to control communication between a control chamber communication passage and the first intermediate chamber. A second valve element in the second intermediate chamber includes a low-pressure-side valve portion to control communication between an exhaust passage and the second intermediate chamber. A columnar rod portion located between the first valve element and the second valve element is slidably held at a cylinder hole of the valve cylinder. An internal passage communicates the control chamber communication passage with the second intermediate chamber. The high-pressure-side valve portion has an outer diameter greater than an outer diameter of the rod portion.
