A fuel rail assembly for gasoline direct injection fuel delivery to an engine. The assembly has a common rail tube. In the tube there are threaded orifices extending laterally. Injector sockets are adapted to mate with the threaded orifices. Each injector socket has a proximal nipple end region connected to the tube and a distal end region through which fuel is delivered to the engine. Screw threads are disposed around the proximal nipple end region. The screw threads include a lead thread that is received by the threaded orifices, thereby forming mechanical connections between the injector sockets and the tube that are adapted to withstand maximum pressures of fuel up tp 2900 psi.

A fuel injector assembly with a fuel injector and a coupling device is disclosed. The coupling device includes a fuel injector cup, a plate element, one or more screws and a wing clip. The plate element includes at least one through-hole for fixedly coupling the fuel injector cup with the plate element by the screw or screws respectively, so that the fuel injector cup, the plate element and the screw(s) are positionally fixed with respect to each other. The wing clip is arranged at least partly around the fuel injector and extends outward in a radial direction such that the screw or screws, respectively, are operable to block a movement of the fuel injector relative to the plate element in a first direction of the central longitudinal axis by mechanical interaction with the wing clip.

An injector is designed to provide continuously variable injection rate shaping. With a hydro-mechanical internal feedback mechanism, injector needle position can be determined by controlling a feedback valve's on/off timing. According to the needle position, an injection needle valve opening can be controlled, and then the injection flow rate can be delivered proportionally. Also in accordance with the present invention a CRDI systems are provided including injectors of the present invention, wherein results demonstrate that injector designs of the present invention not only achieve rate shaping capability but also solve the above-noted problems of the current CRDI system. Finally, an iterative learning controller has also been developed to track the desired injection rate, and an injection rate estimator is designed to realize a cycle to cycle feedback control.

A fuel distributor, which is in particular used as a fuel distribution rail for mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines, including a base body, at which at least one high-pressure inlet and multiple high-pressure outlets are provided. An insert element is furthermore provided that is situated in an interior of the base body. In the interior, the insert element separates an inflow area, which extends from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets, at least essentially from a damping area. The insert element is designed as a thin-walled insert element that forms a divider extending through the interior at least from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets.

An engine assembly is provided. The assembly includes an internal combustion engine of the type having a air intake manifold and a fuel injector in fluid communication with a cylinder head of the engine and a gasoline or diesel fuel source, a supply line in communication with each channel of the air intake manifold and being in communication with a gaseous fuel source, the supply line further defining an adapter for controlling flow of gaseous fuel therethrough, and a control module for controlling the fuel injector and a valve, the control module being configured to enable the fuel injector when the engine is operating at a first predetermined operation condition and configured to enable the valve when the engine is operating at a second predetermined operation condition. A method of controlling the same is provided herein.

A filtration device may include a securement section and a filter. The securement section may be configured to be threadably secured to and extend within an interior of a common rail fuel injector. The securement section may include a passage for fuel. The passage may extend in a direction along a central axis of the securement section. The filter may be configured to be positioned within the interior of the common rail fuel injector to filter the fuel flowing through the common rail fuel injector. The filter may include a plurality of holes that are fluidly connecting to the passage of the securement section. The diameter of the filter may be smaller than a diameter of the securement section.
