  • Patent number: 8371268
    Abstract: A fuel safety valve arranged in a fuel supply line between a low-pressure pump and a high-pressure pump, is provided with a valve body which defines a cylindrical cavity having a longitudinal axis and being connected to a duct and a portion of a discharge duct in communication with the cylindrical cavity, a piston sliding with respect to the valve body in the cylindrical cavity along the longitudinal axis, and a spring housed in a variable-volume chamber defined by a portion of the cylindrical cavity between the piston and a closure element. The piston is provided with a through hole supplied with the fuel leading into the variable-volume chamber, and the valve body being provided with a fuel discharge hole connecting the variable-volume chamber to the discharge duct.

  • Publication number: 20110213546
    Abstract: A method for operating an injection system has the following steps: determining, based on a pilot control characteristic, a prefeed value depending on an internal combustion engine operating parameter; initializing a correction value for the prefeed pump by a safety value predetermined for compensating deviations from a predetermined delivery behavior of the prefeed pump, which deviations lie within a predetermined tolerance range, for guaranteeing a sufficient pump delivery rate; controlling the prefeed pump depending on the prefeed and the correction values; adapting the correction value effecting the delivery behavior of the prefeed pump depending on a variable of the system the value or value curve of which indicates that a desired pressure can be generated in the fuel accumulator, namely in the sense of reducing the delivery output of the prefeed pump, as long as the value indicates that the desired pressure can be generated in the fuel accumulator.

  • Publication number: 20110023831
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine has a fuel distributor (2), in the interior space (4) of which is formed a high-pressure accumulator, wherein transverse bores (6) open into the interior space (4). The transverse bores (6) are connected by connecting pipes (8a, 8b) to pressure lines (10) for the supply and discharge of fuel. A high-pressure sensor (30) is arranged at the face-side end of the fuel distributor (2), which high-pressure sensor (30) is connected by a measurement bore (30c) to the interior space (4), and a permanent magnet ring is arranged at that face-side end of the interior space (4) which is assigned to the high-pressure sensor (3).
