An injector system which is in particular used as an injector block for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines includes a fuel distribution rail, a counter bracket, a first injector, and at least one second injector. Here, the counter bracket has a first connecting piece and a second connecting piece. The first injector is joined to the counter bracket on an input side of the first connecting piece with the aid of an elastic sealing ring. The second injector is joined to the counter bracket on an input side of the second connecting piece with the aid of an elastic sealing ring. In this case, the counter bracket is connected to the fuel distribution rail. The fuel distribution rail is used for distributing compressed natural gas to the injectors. The injector system has a compact design.

The present disclosure relates to the field of motor vehicles. The teachings thereof may be embodied in a self-locking internal damper comprising: a damper body with a closed chamber; each of two ends of the closed chamber in the length direction including a straight plate section projecting therefrom, with a center line of the straight plate section passing through a center point of the closed chamber; two connecting portions located at ends of the two straight plate sections, respectively; and at least one of the two connecting portions including a bent structure formed by extending and bending one of the straight plate sections.

Provided is a fuel rail that can achieve a reliable seal between a rail main unit and a cup, involving a short welding distance or a reduced amount of a brazing filler metal. In the fuel rail, a rail main unit 2 has a central hole and a rail main unit-side communication hole 10 that provides communication between the central hole and an outside of the rail main unit 2. An injector receiving member 5 has an injector insertion hole 7 into which an injector is inserted. The injector receiving member 5 is mounted in the rail main unit 2 such that the rail main unit-side communication hole 10 and the injector insertion hole 7 communicate with each other. The injector receiving member 5 has an injector receiving member-side communication hole 9 that provides communication between the rail main unit-side communication hole 10 and the injector insertion hole 7. A metal fusion zone 12 is formed, by way of an inside of the injector receiving member 5, in a bond between the rail main unit 2 and the injector receiving member 5, to thereby seal the bond.

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.

A pipe section of a common rail line is provided for the high-pressure injection of a fluid. The pipe section has at least a first pipe and an adapter in which the first pipe has a wall and extends at least along an axial direction. The wall has an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface and encloses a first line. The adapter has a connector piece and a second pipe. The connector piece extends annularly around the first pipe and is situated on the outer circumferential surface. A second line that is formed by the second pipe is fluidically connected to the first line via a first opening in the first pipe and a second opening in the connector piece. At least the adapter is manufactured by a metal powder injection molding process. Two methods for manufacturing a pipe section are also provided.

A fluid distributor rail for an injection system for mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engines for metering a highly pressurized fluid. The fluid distributor rail includes a base body, and at least one connector configured on the base body. The base body with the at least one connector configured on the base body is formed by single stage or multistage forging. At least one interior space of the base body and a hydraulic fluid passage which leads into the interior space via the at least one connector configured on the base body are formed on the base body by machining after the forging. At least one element for connection is formed at least in part by mechanical cold-forming on at least one connector configured on the base body.

A system and a method of controlling the temperature of fuel injected into combustion engines, which provides a reduced amount of fuel injected into engines propelled with either pure gasoline or ethanol or any bi-fuel mixture by precisely controlling the amount of heat supplied to the fuel.

A device for injecting water into a combustion chamber or into an intake tract of an internal combustion engine includes a rail and at least one injection valve connected to the rail. The connection is produced by means of a rail cup, which surrounds the injection valve at the rail-side end of the injection valve. The injection valve has a feed channel open toward the rail, in which feed channel at least some portions of an insert are received in order to reduce the feed cross-section.

A high-pressure fuel supply pump for a fuel system that supplies a high-pressure fuel injection (GDI) apparatus and a low-pressure fuel injection (PFI) apparatus incorporates an inlet check valve to isolate a low-pressure fuel feed channel in the pump from pressure fluctuations at the inlet of an inlet control valve. Upstream of the inlet check valve, the low-pressure fuel feed channel is connected to a seal chamber surrounding the pumping plunger. Circulating fresh low-pressure fuel through the seal chamber ensures that the pumping plunger and the clearance between the plunger and the pump bore are cooled and lubricated with fuel, even when high pressure fuel is not produced by the high-pressure pump. The low-pressure fuel feed channel is connected to the low-pressure PFI outlet downstream of the seal chamber. This pump configuration provides stable source of low-pressure fuel for a PFI system.
