Abstract: An injector nozzle used with an internal combustion engine for shaping a fluid flow is provided. The nozzle has a body and an orifice plate provided at an outlet of the body. The body and the plate extend symmetrically with respect to a central axis. The plate has an interior surface and an opposite exterior surface, which are substantially parallel to each other to define a thickness of the plate. The plate has fluid passageways each having an orifice on the exterior surface. The fluid flow diverges through the fluid passageways to create stream jets. The imaginary extensions the passageways converge to create a focal point and an included angle associated with the focal point.

Abstract: A high pressure fuel pump used for an internal combustion engine and a related method are provided. The fuel pump has a body having a top surface and a side surface. A damper housing is provided on the top surface. A damper cover is provided on the damper housing. A top engaging structure of the damper housing and a bottom engaging structure of the damper cover operatively engage each other to connect the damper cover to the damper housing in a sealed manner. The damper cover and the damper housing collectively define a space for accommodating one or more fluid pressure dampers. A fuel is introduced into the fuel pump through a fuel inlet fitting and processed by the fluid pressure dampers to increase the pressure of the fuel. The fuel of increased pressure is released through a fuel outlet fitting of the fuel pump.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an insert for a fluid nozzle is provided. The insert includes a plurality of passages oriented in included angles to produce colliding jets of a liquid at one or more focal points a specific distance away from the exits of the passages (in one example, the colliding jets of liquid increase fluid atomization and reduce liquid lengths). In one embodiment, the nozzle insert is cylindrical in shape. The insert may be housed, held, trapped or otherwise in material connection with an outer nozzle. The colliding jets of liquid may utilize the kinetic energy carried in particle to particle collision to improve liquid break-up in order to form smaller particles (resulting in high vaporization rates and shorter liquid lengths).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of modifying a conventional injector (e.g., a high pressure direct fuel injector) and to the modified injector resulting therefrom. The modified injector provides a fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) which is different than the fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) of the original conventional injector. In one embodiment, provided is a modified injector used in internal combustion engines for fuel delivery directly into the combustion chamber.
