  • Patent number: 10233858
    Abstract: A method and a device for determining the minimum hydraulic injection interval of a piezo-servo injector are described. The closing time of the nozzle needle of the injector is determined on the basis of the characteristic pressure profile in the control spring chamber of the injector. By incrementally reducing the injection interval of a subsequent injection by successively advancing the timing of the start of actuation of a subsequent injection and continuing to observe the pressure profile in the control spring chamber, the smallest injection interval is obtained from the last iteration step in which closing of the nozzle needle of the preceding injection could still be detected in the characteristic pressure profile. Particularly precise determination of the minimum injection interval is possible with this method.
