A fuel injector has a storage volume, wherein the storage volume is variable in operation by a control signal.

Methods and systems are provided for a direct injection fuel pump. The methods and system control pressure within a compression chamber so as to improve fuel pump lubrication.

A fuel injection system for a reciprocating engine, comprising injectors for injecting pressurized fuel into the cylinders of the engine, a high pressure pump for pressurizing fuel to be injected, a supply pipe for feeding fuel from the high pressure pump toward the injectors and feed pipes for feeding fuel from the supply pipe to the injectors. The first ends of the feed pipes are connected to the injectors and the second ends to the supply pipe. Each fuel injector is provided with a pressure accumulator.

A liquid ammonia phase-change cooling type hybrid power thermal management system. The system comprises an injector, a liquid ammonia hydrogen supply system, a liquid ammonia common rail pipe, a fuel oil common rail pipe and an oil tank, wherein the liquid ammonia hydrogen supply system comprises a liquid ammonia storage tank, an ammonia pumping system, a flow dividing system and an ammonia inlet and outlet system, the fuel oil common rail pipe is respectively connected with the oil tank and a one-way oil inlet of the injector, the liquid ammonia common rail pipe is respectively connected with the ammonia inlet and outlet system and a one-way ammonia inlet of the injector, an ammonia inlet pipe and an ammonia return pipe are arranged in the ammonia inlet and outlet system, the ammonia pumping system comprises a liquid ammonia storage flow divider, a low-pressure pump and a high-pressure pump.

A method of manufacturing a fuel distributor is disclosed. The fuel distributor includes a distributor pipe for receiving pressurized fuel. The distributor pipe has a tubular main body produced from a forged blank processed mechanically. The unprocessed forged blank or the partially processed forged blank is heat treated at a temperature of between 850 C. and 1100 C., in particular of greater than or equal to 950 C., for a period of time of greater than or equal to 60 seconds.

A fuel injector for use in an internal combustion engine includes a valve member that is moveable within a bore of an injection nozzle so as to be engageable with a valve seat region to control fuel delivery through one or more nozzle outlets, an injector body housing an actuator that is operable to move the valve member within the bore, and defining an accumulator volume for storing high pressure fuel. The fuel injector includes a damping chamber in fluid communication with the accumulator volume through a fluid passage, the damping chamber serving to reduce pressure wave activity within the accumulator volume.

A fuel injector is provided and may include an injector body and an injector valve. The injector body may define a longitudinally extending chamber and may include a first intake port, a second intake port and a fuel injection port. The injector valve may be disposed within the chamber and may include a longitudinally extending aperture in fluid communication with the longitudinally extending chamber. The injector valve may be configured to prevent fluid communication between the first intake port and the second intake port, and may be configured to prevent fluid communication between the fuel injection port and the second intake port.

In a method for producing a threaded connection between a first component and a second component of an injection device for internal combustion engines, which are each provided for carrying high-pressure fluid, an internal thread is formed on a tubular end portion of the first component, into which the second component can be screwed and clamped against a resting surface of the first component, the second component having formed thereon an external threaded portion for engaging the internal thread of the tubular end portion, an outer ring imparting an elastic prestress acting in the radial direction is pressed onto the tubular end portion, and the components are subsequently screwed together.

A fuel supply system has a pressure chamber which communicates with a fuel gallery. The pressure chamber receives the fuel from the feed pump or the returned fuel from the fuel gallery. The fuel in the pressure chamber receives heat energy from the engine E so that the fuel is brought into gas-liquid phase. A volume change of the fuel in liquid phase in the fuel gallery can be compensated by a volume change of the fuel in gas phase or gas-liquid phase in the pressure chamber. Thus, the pressure pulsation in the fuel gallery is absorbed in the pressure chamber.
