The invention relates to a gas metering valve (1) for a dual fuel engine (17), which has a displaceable closing body (6) which, in a position of resting against a valve seat (5), closes the gas metering valve (1) and, in a position of being lifted off from the valve seat (5), opens the gas metering valve (1). The gas metering valve (1) is actuatable in a gas operating mode, in which the gas metering valve (1) meters combustion gas via a gas channel (13) into an intake manifold (15) of the dual fuel engine (17), and in a liquid fuel operating mode, in which the gas metering valve (1) remains sealingly closed against the pressure prevalent in the intake manifold (15). The valve seat (5) is movably situated along a valve seat guide (4), the valve seat (5), owing to the combustion gas pressure in the gas channel (13), in the gas operating mode being pressed away from the closing body (6) against a stop (20) in the gas metering valve (1) and is kept in its operating position, and the valve seat (5) in the liquid fuel operating mode being sealingly pressed by the pressure from the intake manifold (15) against the closing body (6).

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 coil assembly in a fuel injector includes a magnetic core and; a winding wound around the core, the winding being overmoulded and forming a cylindrical overmoulding. An axial blind hole extends towards the interior of the coil assembly from a first surface to a distal end, the blind hole being suitable for housing at least one spring for loading a magnetic armature. The coil assembly is provided with a degassing hole passing through the core and the overmoulding from the blind axial hole to an axial outer cylindrical surface, the degassing hole being provided in the magnetic core and having a restriction that is arranged in a first section that is proximal to the blind axial hole.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel pump in which responsiveness of closing a suction valve can be maintained even when the high-pressure fuel pump is increased in pressure or capacity of the high-pressure fuel pump is increased, thereby ensuring discharge efficiency. Therefore, the high-pressure fuel pump includes the rod that urges the suction valve in the valve opening direction, the mover that drives the rod in the valve closing direction, and the solenoid that generates a magnetic attraction force for moving the mover in the valve closing direction. After the suction valve starts moving from the suction valve closing position in the valve opening direction, the rod reaches the suction valve closing position and further moves in the valve opening direction.

A control device for a motor-driven fuel pump adapted for an internal combustion engine is provided. The fuel pump includes a cylinder, a mover in the cylinder, and an electric actuator configured to move the mover. The control device is configured to perform energization control on the electric actuator to reciprocate the mover so that the fuel pump draws in and discharges fuel. The control device is also configured to control a discharge count and a unit discharge amount based on an operating state of the internal combustion engine. The discharge count is a number of times of discharging fuel from the fuel pump to the fuel pipe during a period between a fuel injection from the fuel injection valve and the next fuel injection, and the unit discharge amount is an amount of fuel for one fuel discharge from the fuel pump.

To reduce collision noise created by the operation of an electromagnetic suction valve provided on a high pressure fuel supply pump, the mass of a member which collides by magnetic attractive force is reduced. The noise generated when a core and an anchor collide with each other by magnetic attractive force depends on the magnitude of the kinetic energy of a moving element. The kinetic energy to be consumed in the collision is only the kinetic energy of the anchor. The kinetic energy of a rod, being absorbed by a spring, does not contribute to the noise; thus, the energy when the anchor and the core collide with each other can be reduced, whereby the noise to be created can be reduced.

Various embodiments include a valve comprising a valve body including a valve seat; and a valve element movable along a longitudinal axis to close the on-off valve by sealing against the valve seat. The valve body includes a conical lateral surface. The valve body includes a radially extending spring projection which is resilient in an axial direction and projects radially beyond the lateral surface.

A valve assembly for a fuel pump for a fuel system, the fuel pump comprising a pump chamber and the valve assembly comprising a solenoid winding; and an electromagnetically controlled armature operable under the influence of an electromagnetic field generated by applying a current to the solenoid winding. The armature is coupled to a valve member cooperable with a valve seat to control fuel flow, and the armature is movable within an armature bore and is exposed to fuel within an armature chamber defined within the armature bore. The valve assembly includes a clearance defined between the armature and the armature bore which defines a variable restriction to the fuel flow, whereby during armature movement in use the fuel is displaced from the armature chamber through the variable restriction so that the speed of movement of the armature is reduced as the armature moves further into the armature chamber.

A solenoid valve provided with a valve element that abuts against and separates from a valve seat to seal fuel; a movable iron core capable of being separated from the valve element; and a fixed iron core arranged opposed to the movable iron core. The solenoid valve also includes: a first spring member that energizes the valve element toward a side of the valve seat; a second spring member that energizes the movable iron core toward the fixed iron core; and a stopper part disposed on the side of the valve seat with respect to the movable iron core, and arranged with the movable iron core via a gap in a displacement direction in a valve closed state. The gap is set so the movable iron core collides with the stopper part when being displaced in the valve closing direction after the valve element is opened.

Some embodiments may include a valve for a pump comprising: a first stop element having a longitudinal axis and a sealing seat; an actuator providing an actuator force along the longitudinal axis; a pin movable relative to the first stop element along the longitudinal axis and movable by the actuator force; a sealing element moved by the pin relative to the valve seat in order to open or close the valve; and a second stop element rigidly fastened to the first stop element providing a stop for the sealing element to limit movement of the sealing element away from the sealing seat along the longitudinal axis. The second stop element is fastened at a defined predetermined distance from the first stop element to define a spacing between the sealing seat and the stop.
