  • Patent number: 10294903
    Abstract: A fuel supply system having a low pressure region, a pumping device to deliver fuel from the low pressure region to a high pressure region. In the high pressure region between the pumping device and injectors there is a pressure storage system that is permanently under high pressure. The pressure storage system has a plurality of distributor units each with at least three connections connected in series. A respective injector connection of each distributor unit is connected to at least one injector each via a high pressure line that is under high pressure at times dependent on the injection cycle. Each distributor unit of the pressure storage system is assigned an individual leakage detection device. Each distributor unit is assigned a non-return valve, which allows a leakage flow starting out from the respective distributor unit in the direction of the pumping device.

  • Patent number: 7963461
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injection nozzle comprising a cooling duct (6) that is disposed in the final region of a housing (1), which faces the combustion chamber. In order to cool the zones that are subjected to high thermal stress, the cooling duct (6) is positioned closer to the bore (2) of the valve needle than to the external face of the housing (1) and is provided with a cross-sectional area that has a width corresponding to no more than the height which extends in the axial direction of the nozzle.

  • Patent number: 4391602
    Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for smoothing and drying shaped articles having different fibrous components. In accordance with the disclosed process, the articles, after washing, are hung in the moist state and are heated for a relatively long period while the humidity is carefully regulated to a desired constant level. Subsequently, the articles are mechanically smoothed over a short period of duration by continuously blowing hot air against them uniformly and evenly over the surfaces thereof. The apparatus comprises a steaming chamber and a drying chamber, which are serially arranged and connected by a conveyor or the like to provide transport for the hanging articles. Orifices for introducing steam and nozzles for introducing hot air are provided in the walls of the steaming chamber, and nozzles are provided in the walls of the drying chamber for blowing hot air on the articles.
