  • Patent number: 9188094
    Abstract: A fuel injector for fuel-injection systems of internal combustion engines includes an electromagnetic actuating element having a solenoid coil, a fixed core, an outer magnetic circuit component, and a movable armature for actuating a valve-closure element, which cooperates with a valve-seat surface provided on a valve-seat element. The injector is characterized by its extremely small outer dimensions. The flexibility in the installation of fuel injectors of varying valve lengths, which is made possible very simply due to the special modular design, is significantly increased in this manner. An optimized dimensioning of the electromagnetic circuit allows for a DFR (dynamic flow range) greater than 17, the DFR being defined as the quotient of qmax/qmin.

  • Patent number: 9068542
    Abstract: A fuel injector for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines. The valve includes an electromagnetic actuating element which has a solenoid, a solid core, an external magnetic circuit component, and a movable armature for activating a valve closing member which cooperates with a valve seat surface provided on a valve seat member. The valve has extremely small outer dimensions. By optimizing the dimensions of the electromagnetic circuit, the outer diameter of the external magnetic circuit component in the peripheral area of the solenoid is 10.5 mm<DM<13.5 mm. This increases the flexibility in installing fuel injectors having different valve lengths, which are made possible due to the special modular design. The valve is suitable as a fuel injector in particular for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark ignition internal combustion engines.

  • Publication number: 20140027545
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines. The valve includes an electromagnetic actuating element having a solenoid, a solid core, an outer magnetic circuit component, and a movable armature for actuating a valve closing element that works together with a valve seat surface provided on a valve seat element. The valve has extremely small outer dimensions. Due to an optimized dimensioning of the electromagnetic circuit, the outer diameter of the outer magnetic circuit component in the circumferential area of the solenoid DM<=11 mm. This increases flexibility in the installation of fuel injection valves having various valve lengths, which are very easily enabled due to the particular modular construction. The valve is suitable as a fuel injection valve, particularly for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing externally ignited internal combustion engines.
