The invention relates to a device for metering two different liquid or gaseous fuels, comprising a nozzle element (4) in which a first pressure chamber (6) that can be filled with a first fuel is formed, wherein an outer nozzle needle (10) is received in the pressure chamber in a longitudinally movable manner. The outer nozzle needle (10) is equipped with a second pressure chamber (12) which can be filled with a second fuel and in which an inner nozzle needle (15) is arranged in a longitudinally movable manner, said inner nozzle needle interacting with an inner nozzle seal (16) formed in the outer nozzle needle (10) in older to open and close at least one inner injection opening (17). Furthermore, at least one outer injection opening (13) is provided which can be connected to the first pressure chamber (6), the at least one outer injection opening (13) being formed in the outer nozzle needle (10).

Various embodiments include a valve assembly comprising: a housing; a needle within the housing; a first valve seat; a first valve closing part moved by the needle between a closed position and an open position; a second valve seat; and a second valve closing part moved by the needle between a closed position and an open position; a flow calibration ring fixed to the housing, surrounding the needle leaving a flow gap in between, wherein a front face of the flow calibration ring forms the second valve seat; and a stopping part fixed at the needle, wherein the stopping part and the flow calibration ring contact each other to act as an axial stop and thereby limit the maximum lift of the needle.

A fluid injector assembly extending along a longitudinal axis comprising a housing, and an injector positioned within the housing, the injector comprising a injector body having an interior cavity, a plunger positioned within the interior cavity and comprising a plunger body, a fluid delivery passage along at least a portion of the plunger body, and a plunger tip positioned at a downstream end of the plunger body, the fluid delivery passage comprising a longitudinal passage and at least one internal swirl passage, and the internal swirl passage being angled relative to the longitudinal axis and extending from the longitudinal passage to an opening upstream of the plunger tip, and a nozzle positioned at a downstream end of the injector body and including at least one nozzle passage, fluid being delivered from an upstream end of the injector to the at least one nozzle passage through the fluid delivery passage.

A fuel injector for controlling delivery of gaseous fuel into an intake passage of an internal combustion engine defines a fuel flow passage extending in a direction of fuel flow from an inlet to an outlet. An actuator moves a normally closed valve member from a closed to an open position. An annular valve seat is inclined relative to a direction of fuel flow, causing gaseous fuel to flow against the direction of fuel flow and act on the valve member in an opening direction when said actuator is energized to move the valve member to the open position. The valve member includes an extension including helical ribs defining helical channels, the helical ribs bearing on an inside surface of an outflow passage to guide axial movement of the valve member and said helical channels imparting a centripetal acceleration to said gaseous fuel as it flows through the outflow passage.

The present disclosure relates to a method of modifying a conventional injector (e.g., a high pressure direct fuel injector) and to the modified injector resulting therefrom. The modified injector provides a fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) which is different than the fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) of the original conventional injector. In one embodiment, provided is a modified injector used in internal combustion engines for fuel delivery directly into the combustion chamber.

This disclosure describes various implementations of a downhole-blower system that can be used to boost production in a wellbore. The downhole-blower system includes a blower and an electric machine coupled to the blower that can be deployed in a wellbore, and that can, in cooperation, increase production through the wellbore.

A centrifugal conical-spray atomization device. A head portion of a needle valve is provided with a throttling guidance cone. A seat surface of the needle valve mates with seat surface of a spin chamber to open and close a spray hole in a pulsatory manner. A plurality of tangential holes are provided between a pressure chamber and a spin chamber. After being spun tangentially by the spin chamber, fuel is sprayed from a spray opening with a tangential force, forming a hollow umbrella-like fuel film without a compact fuel spray core. The umbrella-like fuel film has a controllable penetration distance and spins at a high speed in a combustion chamber. The centrifugal conical-spray atomization device not only exhibits a wide adjustable range of fuel flow, but is able to automatically open and close the spray hole, while carbon deposition would not easily form to block the spray hole.
