  • Patent number: 11293390
    Abstract: A fuel pump for a liquid fuel injection system of a motor vehicle is provided. The fuel pump for a fuel injection system includes a low-pressure pump that provides liquid fuel from a fuel tank of the motor vehicle at a low pressure. A high-pressure pump in fluid communication with the low-pressure pump and compresses the liquid fuel from the low pressure to a high pressure for injecting the liquid fuel into an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle. A pump drive drives the low-pressure pump and the high-pressure pump synchronously with a pump frequency independently from an engine speed of the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10526995
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for fuel metering may include an injection nozzle, which includes a nozzle body, a nozzle needle, and a nozzle orifice, wherein nozzle needle is disposed in the nozzle body; a control piston configured to mechanically and electrically contact the nozzle needle in an axial direction opposite to the nozzle orifice; a transmitter configured to communicate with a controller and electrically contact the nozzle needle via the control piston; wherein the controller is configured to determine an open state and a closed state between the nozzle needle and the nozzle body via an electrical signal detected by the transmitter; and wherein the controller is configured to adjust the open state and the closed state in correlation with a fuel injection quantity.

  • Patent number: 7769535
    Abstract: Method for dosing fuel injected into an engine, with a fuel quantity for an injector, the fuel quantity being divided into pilot and main injections for respective activation duration having activation duration corrective value, the method may include storing correlation data between fuel injection quantity and activation time under at least a state parameter of the injector, wherein the fuel injection quantity includes reference total injection quantities determined for predetermined operating states of the engine, determining a present operating state of the engine, placing the engine into one of the predetermined operating states, determining a present total injection quantity and a reference total injection quantity in one of the at least a state parameter of the injector, and defining the respective activation duration corrective value for the pilot and main injection considering a difference between the reference total injection quantity and the present total injection quantity.
