  • Patent number: 11118537
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector (1), comprising: a pre-chamber (17) within the injector, a high-pressure injector part (3) for discharging combustible gas, which high-pressure injector part has a nozzle unit (5) and a reciprocating nozzle valve element (7), a nozzle-side end section of which is accommodated in a high-pressure chamber (11) of the high-pressure injector part (3), a pre-chamber assembly (39), within the framework of which the high-pressure chamber (11) of the high-pressure injector part (3) is separated over a nozzle-side end section, the high-pressure chamber being surrounded by the pre-chamber (17).

  • Patent number: 10724447
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector arrangement (1) comprising a number of fluid supply paths (29, 31, 39), namely, a first (29), a second (31) and a third fluid supply path (39). The fuel injector arrangement (1) has a first switching device (43) in the second fluid supply path (31). Said first switching device, controlled by the fluid pressure in the third fluid supply path (39), opens or blocks the second fluid supply path (31). The fuel injector arrangement (1) has a second switching device (49) in the first fluid supply path (29). Said second switching device, controlled by the fluid pressure downstream of the first switching device (43) in the second fluid supply path (31), opens or blocks the first fluid supply path (29).

  • Patent number: 10082108
    Abstract: A fuel injector for operation with combustible gas, having a gas nozzle assembly having at least one gas nozzle opening, and at least one gas nozzle needle associated with the gas nozzle assembly and accommodated in an axial holder so that the stroke of the gas nozzle needle can be controlled. Each gas nozzle opening leads out of the holder having a radial direction component at the nozzle end. The fuel injector has, in the holder, a needle seat upstream of the particular nozzle opening, which needle seat is provided for selectively blocking a combustible-gas flow path to the associated gas nozzle opening in interaction with the gas nozzle needle. The gas nozzle openings are distributed over part of the circumference in the circumferential direction of the gas nozzle needle. The holder, adjoining the needle seat and extending away therefrom axially in the upstream direction, is asymmetric with respect to an axial center axis through the gas nozzle needle.
