Intake arrangement for an internal combustion engine for the intake of a liquid medium from a container, having a strainer, via which liquid medium can be taken in from the container, and at least one suction pipe which opens with a first end into the strainer and via which the liquid medium can be delivered towards a suction pump, which interacts with the respective suction pipe. The suction pipe is mounted at a second end that faces away from the strainer such that it can be pivoted about an axis such that the suction pipe follows a movement of the liquid within the container.

Internal combustion engine fuel, preferably diesel fuel, feed pump assembly, the pump assembly (1) comprising a pump body (2); at least one cylinder (6) formed in the pump body (2) and extending along an axis (A2); a seat (12) formed in the pump body (2), at one end of the cylinder (6); an intake valve (18) for selectively controlling fuel feed into the cylinder (6), which is housed inside the seat (12) and in turn comprises a valve body (25); and an annular seal (26) extending around the axis (A2) and fitted inside the seat (12) between the valve body (25) and the pump body (2); the pump assembly (1) being characterized in that the valve body (25) is positioned contacting the annular seal (26) along a contact surface (45) of the valve body (25) and close to a surface portion adjacent to a radially inner peripheral edge (46) of the seal (26); the valve body (25) having an annular step (48) along another surface portion adjacent to a radially outer peripheral edge (52) of the seal (26).

A large two-stroke turbocharged compression-ignited internal combustion crosshead engine with a plurality of cylinders has at least one pressure booster for each cylinder for boosting fuel pressure, two or more electronically controlled fuel valves for each cylinder with an inlet of the two or more electronically controlled fuel valves being connected to an outlet of the at least one pressure booster. An electronic control unit is connected to the at least one pressure booster and the two or more electronically controlled fuel valves. The electronic control unit is configured to determine a start time for a fuel injection event, activate the at least one pressure booster ahead of the determined start time and pen the two or more electronically controlled fuel valves at the determined start time.

A high-pressure pump includes a plunger reciprocating in conjunction with rotation of a rotational shaft to be able to change a volume of a pressurizing chamber and a control valve having a first valve body and a second valve body disposed in a fuel suction passage that communicates with the pressurizing chamber and supplies/blocks fuel to/from the pressurizing chamber by displacing the valve body in an axial direction by switching between energization and non-energization of a coil. An ECU adjusts a fuel discharge amount of the high-pressure pump by switching a valve opening and a valve closing of the control valve by the energization control of the coil. The ECU detects movement of the valve body with respect to a drive command of the valve opening or the valve closing of the control valve and executes an actuation determination of the high-pressure pump on the basis of a detection result.

The proportional control valve for a fuel pump has a metering assembly within a tightly fit bore and a vent valve. The metering assembly includes a metering piston assembly, a piston biasing spring, an armature and a vent valve. The vent valve, such as a ball, is affixed to the armature and the metering piston assembly is configured around the vent valve in a manner that couples the metering piston to the armature. The metering piston assembly comprises a metering piston and a vent valve seat, permanently joined together, which contain a seal and a seat surface respectively between which the vent valve is permitted to move during the operation of the proportional control valve.

An example valve includes a piston configured to block fluid flow from a first port of the valve to a second port of the valve when the valve is in a closed position; a relief mode spring applying a first biasing force on the piston in a distal direction; a reverse flow spring applying a second biasing force on the piston in a proximal direction, wherein the reverse flow spring is weaker than the relief mode spring; and a pressure setting spring applying a third biasing force on a check element in the distal direction, causing the check element to be seated when the valve is in the closed position.

A fuel pump includes a mechanical regulating valve arranged in a pump body which modulates the pressure in a high pressure space so that the pressure matches the engine demand. Modulation by the regulating valve requires adjustment of the inlet fuel quantity, adjustment of the volume of the high pressure space, and control of a return fluid communication enabling fuel to exit the high pressure reservoir.

A pump unit for feeding fuel, preferably diesel fuel, to an internal combustion engine; the pump unit (1) comprising: a head (4) inside which a cylinder (12) extending along an axis (A1) is formed; a pumping piston (5) extending along the axis (A1) and slidingly coupled with the cylinder (12); a through-hole (13) which extends from the cylinder (12) towards the outside of the pump unit (1); an intake chamber (8) communicating with the cylinder (12) via the hole (13); an intake valve (7) which controls the flow of fuel from the intake chamber (8) to the hole (13); a cap (23; 123; 223) which is connected to the head (4), is arranged on the opposite side to the pumping piston (5) and can be selectively fixed along an outer surface (25) of the head (4) so as to close the intake chamber (8) on one side.

There is disclosed a solenoid valve for a fuel injection system, in which solenoid valve a closing element which interacts with a valve seat in order to close and open the solenoid valve is actuated by a control pin, the control pin being formed by way of a solenoid plunger. Furthermore, a high pressure fuel pump is disclosed which has a solenoid valve of this type.

A high pressure fuel pump unit includes a pump head where an inlet channel opens into a low-pressure chamber itself in fluid communication with a compression chamber. A valve is arranged so that when it is closed the fuel fills the low-pressure chamber and when the valve opens the fuel flows from the low-pressure chamber into the compression chamber. The pump head also includes a resilient member arranged so that when the valve is closed, the resilient member deforms to increase the volume of the low pressure chamber. When the valve opens, the fuel flows into the compression chamber, pushed by the resilient member which takes back its original shape.
