Apparatuses for immobilizing fuel injection apparatuses are disclosed. A coupling member couples a fuel injection apparatus with an injector body of an engine. The coupling member includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a side surface, and an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The opening receives the fuel injection apparatus. The coupling member also includes a protruding portion extending from the bottom surface or the side surface which comes into contact with the injector body to prevent rotational movement of the fuel injection apparatus.

A fuel delivery assembly for an internal combustion engine, including an injector cup, a fuel injector received therein, and a spring clip is disclosed. The injector cup has a circumferential wall with an external shoulder. The fuel injector has a shoulder which is axially spaced apart from the injector cup. The spring clip has a base portion with two radially compliant webs bearing against the shoulder of the circumferential wall and being in force-fit engagement with the circumferential wall. The spring clip has an axially compliant portion bearing against the shoulder of the fuel injector and being elastically deformable to bias the fuel injector in axial direction from the upper end towards the lower end.

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.

The housing (18) of the fuel injection valve (10) of the device for intermittently injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine comprises a high-pressure inlet (34) with a conical sealing face (44). The high-pressure chamber (36) is disposed in the housing (18) from the high-pressure inlet (34). A cartridge-like, independent component (56) is inserted into the high-pressure chamber (36). Said component comprises the valve carrier (46), the non-return valve (48), the holding element (50), and preferably the filter body (52′). The valve carrier (46) is provided with a conical outer sealing face (69), by which the valve carrier rests against the conical sealing face (44). A fixing element (74) presses the supply line (16) against the valve carrier (46).

A method for compensating for a variable distance between two components of an apparatus for providing a fluid filtering device therebetween is provided. The method comprises placing an adjustable filtering device between two components, altering the distance between the two components, and compensating for the change in distance between the two components by varying a dimension of the adjustable filtering device.

A screw connection device for connecting two pipes with flared ends, comprises a screw, a nut and a spacer. The nut has a front end aperture from which an accommodating space extends to a rear end aperture in a rear end wall. A surface of the nut in the accommodating space has a threaded section which extends toward the rear end wall which has a flange face in the accommodating space. In a pre-installed state, the spacer and a first pipe end with a first flare are accommodated in the nut, such that the spacer is held undetachable between the first flare and the internal thread. A second pipe end with a second flare can be held in the accommodating space by the screw, threaded into the nut such that the second flare is pressed against a sealing surface of the spacer and the spacer is pressed with a further sealing surface against the first flare.

An internal combustion engine including an intake passage fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into an intake passage and a cylinder inside fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, includes: a fuel pump pressurizing and feeding fuel, which is fed from a fuel tank, to the cylinder inside fuel injection valve; a securing part provided on a cylinder head member of the internal combustion engine to secure the fuel pump; an introducing member having heat conductivity, the introducing member connected to the fuel pump and formed with: a first introducing path for introducing fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel pump; and a second introducing path for introducing fuel from the fuel tank to the intake passage fuel injection valve; and a heat transmitting member transmitting heat between the introducing member and the securing part.
