An engine head assembly includes a double-walled fuel connector assembly in an engine head and forming a high-pressure fuel supply passage and a low-pressure fuel return passage. The engine head assembly also includes a fuel injector. A high-pressure fuel inlet path extends between a fuel inlet and spray orifices through an injector body in the fuel injector. A low-pressure cooling fuel outlet path extends between an injection control valve seat in the fuel injector and a cooling fuel outlet in a nozzle case of the fuel injector. Expelled cooling fuel is passed through the low-pressure fuel return passage in the double-walled fuel connector.

A high-pressure injection device for an internal combustion engine to which engine segment times are assigned, having a high-pressure pump, a rail connected to the high-pressure pump via a high-pressure fuel line, at least one injector, a digital pressure reduction valve connected to the rail, a fuel return line connected to the pressure reduction valve, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to switch the pressure reduction valve into the transmissive state only in predetermined engine segment times, and to maintain said transmissive state of the pressure reduction valve for a time period which is greater than the duration of one engine segment time.

The present invention prevents a gas generated by evaporating a low-temperature liquid from remaining in an internal space of a booster pump and enhances efficiency of discharge and suction. A reciprocating booster pump 50 includes a cylinder 41, a piston 42, a suction check valve 65, and a discharge check valve 62. The cylinder 41 has a suction port 55 and a discharge port 56. The suction port 55 suctions a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid to an inside. The discharge port 56 boosts the low-temperature liquid and discharges the low-temperature liquid to an outside. The piston 42 reciprocates in an internal space 43 of the cylinder. The suction check valve 65 opens and closes a suction flow passage 64 between the internal space and the suction port. The discharge check valve 62 opens and closes a discharge flow passage 61 between the internal space and the discharge port. The suction check valve is configured such that if a relative pressure at the internal space establishing a pressure of the low-temperature liquid before being suctioned into the cylinder as a criterion is higher than a predetermined pressure, the suction check valve closes.

A fuel supply device for a liquefied petroleum direct injection (LPDI) engine in which liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is directly injected into a combustion chamber and a start control method of an LPDI engine having the fuel supply device, wherein the high pressure fuel pump receives and compresses fuel to a pressure higher than a pressure at which fuel has been supplied, wherein the high pressure fuel rail buffers and supplies fuel to a direct injector that injects fuel directly into a combustion chamber, wherein the return line is connected to the supply line through the high pressure fuel pump to form a low pressure line, allowing a surplus portion of fuel supplied to the high pressure fuel pump from the fuel tank to return to the fuel tank, and wherein a first valve is disposed on the return line to control the flow rate of returning fuel.

A process for reducing injector deposits in an internal combustion engine fuelled with a fuel composition, the process comprising contacting a fuel composition with a metal-selective membrane situated in the fuel delivery system. The reduction of such deposits provides an increase in fuel efficiency, fuel thermal stability, boost in engine cleanliness, improves fuel economy and enables the possibility of using a reduced amount of expensive detergent in the fuel composition.

A remote fuel supply system comprising a fuel transfer unit for managing the flow of fuel from a remote fuel tank and onboard auxiliary tank to an engine. The system may include an engine unit comprising an onboard auxiliary tank, a remote fuel supply unit comprising a remote fuel tank, and a fuel transfer unit. The fuel transfer unit may include a housing featuring multiple inlets for receiving fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and unburnt fuel from the engine unit, and the housing may include multiple outlets connected to diverter valves for selectively transferring fuel to the engine unit from the fuel supply sources; namely, the fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and/or the unburnt fuel from the engine unit.

A fuel delivery system for controlling an inlet pressure of a prime mover in a transport climate control system is provided. The fuel delivery system includes a fuel tank, a pressure regulator, a pump disposed downstream of the fuel tank, a first filter disposed downstream of the pump, and the prime mover disposed downstream of the first filter. The prime mover is located above the fuel tank in a vertical direction. The pump is configured to provide a first fuel flow through the first filter. The prime mover is configured to accept a first portion of the first fuel flow and is configured to provide a return fuel flow. The pressure regulator is disposed downstream of the first filter. The pressure regulator is configured to accept a second portion of the first fuel flow, and to accept a pressure of the return fuel flow as a reference pressure.

An internal combustion engine with at least one combustion chamber, at least one fuel delivery line for the delivery of fuel to at least one combustion chamber, and at least one differential pressure control valve for controlling the pressure in the at least one fuel delivery line. The at least one differential pressure control valve is configured to perform a valve opening or valve closing movement based on a pressure difference between the at least one fuel delivery line and a reference volume having a reference pressure. The internal combustion engine further includes at least one pressure relief valve, separate from the at least one differential pressure control valve, and configured to open to cause a pressure relief in the reference volume and a decrease in the reference pressure if a drop occurs in the power to be performed by the internal combustion engine.

A carburetor includes a carburetor bowl, a fuel supply pipe, a fuel drain pipe, and a valve. The carburetor bowl is configured to store fuel and provide the fuel to an air passage. The fuel supply pipe is connected a fuel tank and the carburetor bowl. The fuel drain pipe is connected to the carburetor bowl and the fuel supply line. The valve for the fuel drain pipe is configured to open and close in response to an orientation of the carburetor.

A method to prevent generation of impact noise caused by an armature contacting a stopper due to a return spring and damage of the armature and a stopper without adding a part. Excitation of an electromagnetic coil 4 causes an armature 9 at a standby position to move in a plunger 7 direction so as to move the plunger 7 inserted in a pressurizing chamber 3 in a tip end direction against a return spring 8 to a level such that fuel is not injected from an injection nozzle 2. Fuel supplied from a fuel tank to the pressurizing chamber 3 through a fuel intake pipe 10 and inlet check valve 11 is pressurized and vapor included in the fuel inside the pressurizing chamber 3 is discharged to a fuel return pipeline 14 through a spill valve 12 and return passage 13. Excitation of the electromagnetic coil 4 is stopped, and then the electromagnetic coil 4 is re-excited prior to the armature 9 and plunger 7 reaching the standby position due to the return spring 8, such that the return speed of the armature 9 is reduced and an impact when the armature 9 contacts a stopper 15 is mitigated.
