A cylinder head assembly includes a cylinder head casting, and an injector sleeve within an injector bore in the cylinder head casting. The injector sleeve includes a first sleeve end, and an injector clamping surface formed by an inner sleeve surface adjacent to a cylindrical second sleeve end. The injector sleeve further includes a sleeve clamping surface in contact with an upward facing middle deck surface of the cylinder head casting, and a reaction wall extending between the injector clamping surface and the sleeve clamping surface to transfer an injector clamping load to the upward facing middle deck surface.

A fuel injector is configured such that a non-magnetic member constituting a magnetic circuit is deformed by an axial force generated when the non-magnetic member is combined with a cover and a housing, thereby providing airtight contact. The fuel injector is a device that injects fuel into an engine by raising a needle. A magnetic field generated from a coil forms a magnetic circuit when the coil is magnetized, and the magnetic circuit raises the needle. The fuel injector includes a block ring disposed inside the coil, a cover disposed at an upper end of the block ring, and a housing disposed at a lower end of the block ring. The block ring is made of a non-magnetic material and configured to extend the magnetic circuit. When the cover and the housing are combined by being screwed together, the upper end and the lower end of the block ring are deformed to provide airtight contact with respect to the cover and the housing, respectively.

The present invention provides a fuel pump capable of suppressing sticking of a plunger. The fuel pump of the present invention includes a plunger 2 that reciprocates, a cylinder 6 in which a guide hole 6a that guides the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2 extends in the axial direction, and a pump body 1 that holds the cylinder 6. The pump body 1 includes a cylinder insertion hole 1g into which the cylinder 6 is inserted, and a pressurizing chamber 11 that communicates with the cylinder insertion hole 1g and has a volume increased or decreased by the reciprocating motion of the plunger 2. The cylinder 6 includes a press-fitting portion 6b press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder insertion hole 1g, and a groove 6d formed at a position corresponding to the press-fitting portion 6b on the inner peripheral surface of the guide hole 6a.

An injector, for injecting a fuel fluid into an intake manifold or into a combustion chamber of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, includes an electromagnetic actuator that includes a magnetic circuit. The magnetic circuit includes a solenoid, an internal pole, and a magnet armature that cooperates with the solenoid and the internal pole, and is configured to generate a controlled force action between the internal pole and the magnet armature when the electromagnetic actuator is activated with the aid of an activating current and/or an activating voltage. The injector includes a gap in the area between the internal pole and the magnet armature, and includes a valve sleeve that has either paramagnetic material properties in and outside the area of the gap or paramagnetic material properties in the area of the gap and ferromagnetic material properties outside of this area.

A high pressure valve includes a body on which is fixed an electromagnet, the shell of which has a radial discal part provided with a central hole connecting an internal opposite surface to an external surface. The body is provided with a cylindrical external centring surface and with a radial support surface. The shell is arranged on the body around the centring surface, the external discal surface being in surface contact against the support surface of the body. The coil of the electromagnet is arranged in the tubular space between the body and the shell itself closed by a closure ring. The liquid-tightness between the body and the shell is ensured by a gasket compressed by a wedging washer against the centring surface and against the internal discal surface. The shell is then immobilised on the body by the wedging washer.

A fluid injector for injecting fluid is disclosed, including a body; a fluid passageway defined in the body and extending from an inlet to an outlet of the fluid injector; a valve seat disposed internally of the body and forming part of the passageway; a valve element that is selectively reciprocated relative to the valve seat to close and open the passageway to fluid flow by seating and unseating the valve element on and from the valve seat, respectively; and an orifice disc disposed in the passageway downstream of the valve seat in a direction of the fluid flow through the fluid injector, the orifice disc including a plurality of dimples and a plurality of orifices defined through the orifice disc, each dimple including at least one orifice located thereon and each dimple having an asymmetrical cross-section.

The invention is directed to a method for improving the fatigue behavior of the body (2) of a gas valve, the body comprising at least two bores (4, 10) and at least one bore intersection (20) defining an internal volume; wherein the method comprises the following step: subjecting the internal volume to an autofrettage by applying a pressure of comprised between 100 MPa and 500 MPa by means of a liquid. 10. The invention is also directed to a gas valve body (2) comprising at least two bores (4, 10) and at least one bore intersection (20) defining an internal volume with an internal wall; wherein the internal wall is treated by autofrettage resulting in compressive stresses at the intersection or at least one of the intersections.
