Embodiments are directed to fuel injectors for internal combustion engines (e.g. engines with reciprocating pistons and with compression-ignition or spark-ignition, Wankel engines, turbines, jets, rockets, and the like) and more particularly to improved nozzle configurations for use as part of such fuel injectors. Other embodiments are directed to enabling fabrication technology that can provide for formation of nozzles with complex configurations and particularly for technologies that form structures via multiple layers of selectively deposited material or in combination with fabrication from a plurality of layers where critical layers are planarized before attaching additional layers thereto or forming additional layers thereon. Other embodiments are directed to methods and apparatus for integrating such nozzles with injector bodies.

The invention relates to a high-pressure accumulator (1) for internal combustion engines for storing highly pressurized fuel. The high-pressure accumulator (1) comprises an accumulator pipe (2) with an accumulator chamber (3) formed in the accumulator pipe (2). The high-pressure accumulator (1) comprises a supply connection (7) for supplying highly pressurized fuel and at least one discharge connection (4) for discharging highly pressurized fuel. A honeycomb structure (10) is arranged in the accumulator chamber (3).

The invention relates to a device (10) for a common rail fuel injection system (102), wherein the device (10) comprises a one-piece module (12) which comprises a common fuel line (14) and a plurality of injector bodies (16) in fluid communication with the common fuel line (14). The present invention also relates to a vehicle (100) comprising such a device (10). The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a device (10) for a common rail fuel injection system (102).

The flexibility of the attachment angle and attachment interval of the member (e.g., injector) attached to the joint member is increased to improve the flexibility of layout even in the case of the forged rail for high-pressure direct injection. In addition, the manufacturing cost can be reduced while keeping high strength of the joint portion. A rail body 1 manufactured by forging, the rail body 1 having a through hole 4 opened on a wall surface 3 for communicating a fuel passage 2 extending in an axial direction with an outside; and

a tubular joint member 6 manufactured separately from the rail 1 body and fixed to the rail body 1 at a position of the through hole 4 for allowing a fuel to flow from the fuel passage 2 through the through hole 4 are provided.

A method for repairing damage to a fuel pump assembly of a locomotive is provided that includes identifying a void within a fluid cavity of a fuel pump assembly. After identifying the void within the fluid cavity of the fuel pump assembly, the void is cleaned with a cleaning product, and a filler material is inserted within the void. Then the filler material is laser welded to repair the void. After being laser welded, the fluid cavity of the fuel pump assembly is honed.

An engaging projection of a valve body engages with an interlocking groove of a nozzle plate and the nozzle plate is rotated relative to the valve body. The engaging projection moves in a lateral groove of the interlocking groove while elastically deforming an arm part (elastically deformable portion), and the engaging projection is accommodated in a recess (lock position in the interlocking groove) of the arm part. A bottom surface of the recess of the arm part is pushed against the engaging projection of the valve body by the elastic force of the arm part, and the engaging projection of the valve body is seated and fixed on the bottom surface of the recess of the arm part. Accordingly, the nozzle plate is fixed to the valve body while being retained via the engaging projection and the interlocking groove (interlocking means).

Provide is a high-pressure fuel pump capable of improving the degree of freedom of layout of members to be attached to a pump body and a producing method thereof. Therefore, the high-pressure fuel pump includes the suction joint that sucks fuel, the pump body formed with the pressurizing chamber that pressurizes the fuel sucked from the suction joint, and the discharge joint that discharges the fuel pressurized in the pressurizing chamber. The pump body is formed so that at least a part of the side surface portion thereof becomes a cylindrical portion or a polygonal shape portion. At least one of the discharge joint and the suction joint may be fixed on the inner peripheral side with respect to the outermost peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion or the polygonal shape portion of the side surface portion.

A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine. The fuel injector has a needle and a nozzle that inter-relate with each other in assembly. Relative movement between the needle and nozzle bring the fuel injector between a closed state of operation and an open state of operation amid use of the fuel injector. The nozzle has one or more passages therein through which fuel is discharged. Fuel flow is precluded at a sac volume of the fuel injector.

A control device is applied for an internal combustion engine which is provided with a high-pressure fuel pump driven by a driving shaft of the internal combustion engine to discharge a fuel pressurized in a pressurizing chamber, an accumulator accumulating a high-pressure fuel discharged from the high-pressure fuel pump, and a relief valve which is opened when a fuel pressure in the accumulator is higher than a specified pressure in order to return the fuel in the accumulator to a specified chamber where a fuel has lower pressure than a fuel in the pressurizing chamber. An idle speed of the internal combustion engine is increased to a specified speed when the fuel pressure in the accumulator has been higher than a determination pressure, which is lower than the specified pressure, for a first period or longer.
