An injector for a combustion engine may include a valve housing, a valve needle, an electromagnetic actuator, and a damping element. The valve needle may be axially movable within a valve cavity of the housing. The electromagnetic actuator may comprise a pole piece coupled with the valve housing and an armature axially movable within the valve cavity. The pole piece may have a central recess extending axially there through. The central recess may include a step defining a first portion and a second portion, the first having a larger cross-sectional area than the second, and a stop surface defined by a radially extending surface of the step. The valve needle may include an armature retainer in the first portion of the central recess. The armature may be axially displaceable with respect to the valve needle and interact with the valve needle by means of the retainer for actuating the valve needle. The damping element may be arranged between the stop surface and the armature retainer to interact with the valve needle and the pole piece during movement.

A surge relief angle valve (SRA) is disclosed. The surge relief angle valve is held normally-closed by one or more compression spring(s). In certain embodiments the surge relief angle valve includes a body containing a disc and disc seat; a piston and shaft, the piston and shaft in communication with the disc and disc seat; and a spring providing a force against the piston; wherein the spring is enclosed within a housing and wherein the surge relief valve has a closed self-contained hydraulic system containing the piston and shaft, and providing a dampening force against the spring force.

A fuel injector for use in delivering fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a nozzle having a valve needle which is moveable with respect to a valve needle seating through a range of movement between a fully-closed position and a fully-open position to control fuel delivery through at least one nozzle outlet, whereby movement of the nozzle needle is controlled by fuel pressure within a control chamber. A nozzle control valve controls fuel flow into and out of the control chamber to pressurize and depressurize the control chamber, respectively. The fuel injector also includes a variable flow passage in communication with the control chamber through which fuel flows out of the control chamber at a variable rate throughout the range of movement of the valve needle so that movement of the valve needle is damped to a greater extent as it approaches the fully-open position.

The present disclosure relates to fluid injection valves. Various embodiments may include a valve assembly for a fluid injection valve and a fluid injection valve including: a valve body with a longitudinal axis; a valve needle; and a preloaded calibration spring for biasing the valve needle. The calibration spring is preloaded by press-fitting a fixing region of the calibration spring with a fixing element, wherein the fixing region of the calibration spring extends from the upper part. The calibration spring comprises an adjustment cap arranged around the upper part of the spring element and press-fitted with the fixing element. A circumferential side wall of the adjustment cap provides the fixing region.

A fuel valve for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of a large two-stroke self-igniting internal engine combustion engine, with a valve needle that is resiliently biased towards a valve seat. The effective pressure surface that causes fuel pressure to urge the valve needle in the opening direction increases significantly when the valve needle has lift from the valve seat. A supplementary effective pressure surface is provided on the valve needle. The supplementary effective pressure surface creates a force urging the valve needle towards the valve seat when the supplementary effective pressure surface is exposed to fuel pressure.

The invention relates to an injection nozzle (1) for fuels, comprising a nozzle body (2), in which a pressure chamber (4) that can be filled with fuel under high pressure is formed, in which pressure chamber a piston-shaped nozzle needle (3) is arranged in such a way that the nozzle needle can be moved longitudinally. A sealing surface (6) is formed at one end of the nozzle needle (3) and an end face (9) is formed at the opposite end, wherein the sealing surface (6) interacts with a nozzle seat (5) in order to open and close at least one injection opening (8). A control chamber (10) that can be filled with fuel under changing pressure is bounded by the end face (9) of the nozzle needle (3) such that a force can be applied to the end face (9) in the direction of the nozzle seat (5) by means of the hydraulic pressure. The nozzle needle (3) has an elastic longitudinal segment (25), which has a longitudinal stiffness of less than 40,000 N/mm.

A coil assembly includes an electric coiling included in an overmold, the coiling being suitable to drive the control valve of a fuel injector. The coil assembly is provided with a longitudinal bore suitable for receiving a spring and with an adjusting member for the setting of the spring which can be moved from outside the injector, the adjusting member forming a transfer of movement such that the movement of the adjusting member from outside the injector is transformed into a compression of the spring.

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.

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 filter assembly for a fuel injector. In some embodiments, the filter assembly has a longitudinal axis and comprises a filter element, a filter housing, and a cap. The filter element may have a cylindrical section with a first axial end and a second axial end. The tubular filter housing may receive the filter element. The tubular filter housing may include a radial protrusion supporting the first axial end of the cylindrical section when the filter element is received therein. The cap may hold the filter element at the second axial end and encompass the filter housing along an outer circumference. The second axial end may rest directly against the cap.
