Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection system provided with a pump and at least one nozzle, in which the fuel quantity which collects by leakage in the spring chamber of the nozzle for the purpose of limiting the speed of the needle as it opens flows out through a throttle valve in a controlled manner. The throttle valve is controlled in accordance with engine characteristics.

Abstract: Associated with the fuel controller of a supercharged diesel engine is a mechanism which limits the maximum fuel quantity in all operational states as defined by engine speed and air flow rate. This mechanism includes a three dimensional cam, displaced in rotation by a first transducer responsive to rpm or air flow rate and further displaced axially by a second transducer responsive to the other of these variables. A cam follower attached to the main fuel control rod of the controller makes contact with and follows the surface of the cam, thereby limiting the maximum fuel quantity admitted to the engine. Special provisions permit an enlarged starting fuel quantity and also permit corrections on the basis of further parameters, such as temperature. Several embodiments are presented.

Abstract: A fuel supply device for internal combustion engines wherein the temperature of the fuel fed to an injection pump can be regulated in order to avoid temperature influences on the fuel metering operation. For this purpose, fuel is withdrawn in a controlled quantity via a temperature-controlled valve from the intake chamber of the injection pump, where the fuel is under the feed pressure of a fuel feed pump and the withdrawn fuel is fed, either by way of a heat exhchanger or directly back to the intake side of the fuel feed pump. In this arrangement, the inherent fuel heating process taking place in the fuel injection pump is exploited to regulate the temperature of the fuel fed to the fuel feed pump.

Abstract: A fuel injection device for mixture compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engines, which serves to meter the fuel proportional to the intake air and aspirates the air-fuel mixture. The fuel injection device includes an air flow rate meter located downstream of a butterfly valve in the air induction tube. The bearing shaft of the air flow rate meter includes a fuel metering valve which can be activated directly by the air flow rate meter. To correct the air-fuel mixture because of air density downstream of the butterfly valve, the fuel injection device is so arranged, that when the butterfly valve is in its idling and full load positions a rich air-fuel mixture can be regulated, and when the butterfly valve is in a partial load position a lean mixture can be regulated.

Abstract: The fuel mixture of an engine is controlled by a mechanism responsive to the signals from an oxygen sensor located in the exhaust pipe. The oxygen sensor is provided with a heater to permit rapid attainment of normal operating temperatures. The heater is controlled by a switch actuated by a timing circuit. The timing circuit closes the switch whenever the alternating signals from a comparator responsive to sensor signals do not occur, indicating sensor non-operation.

Abstract: A mixture control device for a fuel-injected internal combustion engine in which an air flow meter in the induction tube is associated with a slide valve which opens and closes a fuel metering orifice. A differential pressure valve is connected across the metering orifice and one chamber of the differential pressure valve is connected to a servo-motor which moves the main fuel control rod of the fuel injection system. When the amount of fuel delivered to the engine is different from that metered out by the orifice, the pressure in the differential valve changes, causing a temporary admission of pressurized fuel to the servo-motor, which adjusts the position of the main fuel control rod until equilibrium is re-established. Several embodiments are presented, including exhaust gas recycling.

Abstract: An apparatus to control the composition of the operating mixture of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel is apportioned by means of a variable cross-sectional apportionment area where the pressure drop is kept constant by a differential pressure valve. The uncontrolled pressure chamber (reference pressure chamber) of the differential pressure valve lies downstream of an apportioning recessed area. A given fuel discharge quantity from the controlled pressure chamber of the differential pressure valve is determined in accordance with the fluctuations of the pressure in the reference pressure chamber, and a positioning motor provided for the correction of the magnitude effecting the deviation of the reference pressure is further actuated in accordance with the discharge quantity.

Abstract: A regulating device used with the fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, for regulating the proportions of the operating mixtures of the engine. The regulating device is embodied as a pump which is incorporated into the existing fuel injection system. The pump has a chamber within which a piston is displaceable. This piston is coupled with the fuel rate adjusting member of the fuel injection pump of the fuel injection system, and is displaced in accordance with the adjusted position of the fuel rate adjusting member. The pump is also connected with the throttle plate of the fuel injection system located in the induction tube of the engine. By reason of these connections, rapid adjustment movements of the fuel rate adjusting member can be effectively translated to a proper adjustment of the throttle plate without the delay found in presently known regulating devices.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine includes an air flow responsive baffle plate in the induction tube which is subject to an adjustable elastic restoring force. The pivotal shaft of the baffle plate rotates inside of a bushing which is itself adjustable rotatable within the induction tube. A control slot in the bushing is covered to varying extent by a control edge on the pivotal shaft so that fuel which enters a groove in the shaft is metered according to the relative rotation of shaft and bushing. The metered fuel is conducted through a conduit in the baffle plate and is expelled through a nozzle or a valve into the induction tube.

Abstract: An air flow rate sensor, located in the indication tube of an internal combustion engine, displaces a fuel metering slide, thereby changing the fuel flow and the fuel pressure gradient. This pressure gradient is applied to a differential pressure valve which actuates a fuel flow control throttle until the pressure gradient has been restored to a nominal value, corresponding to a desired fuel-air ratio.In a variant embodiment, an arbitrary change in the metered out fuel results in a fuel pressure gradient which is used to reset an air-flow control member until the nominal value of the pressure gradient has been restored, corresponding to a desired fuel-air ratio.

Abstract: A fuel metering system for an internal combustion engine has an arbitrarily settable throttle plate which controls the air flow through the induction tube and an air flow responsive valve element, shaped somewhat like a cylindrical sector, which is pivoted inside the induction tube upstream of the throttle plate. The pivoting valve element has a shaft which is surrounded by a bushing. An opening in the bushing is uncovered to varying extent by a control edge on the pivotal shaft so as to meter out fuel in proportion to the angular excursion of the pivoting valve element. The fuel is delivered to the induction tube directly downstream of the pivoting valve element.

Abstract: A fuel injection system employing continuous injection into the induction manifold for varying the fuel-air ratio during the warm-up phase of the engine. A pivoting flap responds to the air flow through the induction tube and rotates a metering valve core. Openings in this valve core cooperate with openings in the valve cylinder to form a metering valve aperture of variable cross-section. The pressure differential across this aperture influences the metered fuel quantity and this pressure differential can be varied during the warm-up phase of the engine. The variation in the pressure differential is accomplished by heating a bi-metallic spring which disengages from the closure element of a diaphragm valve, increasing the closing bias thereof.

The relative position of the throttle can be adjusted by a pressure cell.
