Patent number: 11459988Abstract: A high pressure fuel pump includes an inlet metering valve arranged to control a quantity of fuel delivered to the pumping chamber during retracting motion of the pumping plunger. The inlet metering valve includes a metering valve member movable between a closed position and an open position, movement of the metering valve member from the closed position to the open position defining a variable flow area that increases as the metering valve member moves from the closed position toward the open position. An actuator piston in an actuator bore is exposed to pressure in the common rail. The actuator piston is biased toward a first position corresponding to low pressure in the common rail and movable toward a second position corresponding to maximum pressure in the common rail. The actuator piston includes a valve stop that determines a metering position of the metering valve member.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Stanadyne LLCInventors: Richard P. Pellini, Kenneth R. Morel, David G. Palermo, Dominic M. Myren, Yevgeniy Norkin, Michael Wegrzyniak

Patent number: 11098710Abstract: The disclosed inlet check valve is used in a high pressure fuel pump and is comprised of a valve member integrally connected to a valve stem which is coupled to an inlet valve armature. The valve member has a stroke along an axis between an open position and a closed position. An inlet valve solenoid generates a magnetic field in an inlet valve pole to attract the inlet valve armature and move the valve member from the open position to the closed position. In the open position, the valve member contacts an inlet valve stop and a gap greater than the stroke of the valve member is defined along the axis between the inlet valve armature and the inlet valve pole. In the closed position, an inlet valve seat mates with the valve member and an armature gap remains between the inlet valve armature and the inlet valve pole.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Stanadyne LLCInventors: Richard P Pellini, Kenneth R Morel, David G Palermo, Dominic M Myren, Yevgeniy Norkin, Michael Wegrzyniak

Publication number: 20200182365Abstract: The disclosed integrated outlet check valve and pressure relief valve are used in a high pressure fuel pump including a pumping chamber and an outlet fitting defining an outlet passage to a common rail. The pressure relief valve comprises a movable pressure relief valve shuttle including a pressure relief valve surface configured to mate with a pressure relief valve seat in a closed position. The pressure relief valve shuttle moves from the closed position to an open position when pressure in the common rail exerts a force greater than the bias of a pressure relief valve spring. The pressure relief valve shuttle also includes an outlet check valve seat configured to mate with an outlet check valve ball in a closed position. The outlet valve ball moves from the closed position to an open position when pressure in the outlet passage is less than pressure in the pumping chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2019Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Richard P.

Patent number: 9759174Abstract: The pump delivered pressure is regulated to a substantially constant set value, and output flow is varied by an inlet metering valve (5) via feedback from the motion of, or flow from the spilled fuel through, a delivered pressure regulator (13, 19). The pressure regulating element can be biased to close a seal surface (12?) against flow from the outlet side of the pump (14) toward the inlet metering valve when the pump is turned off, thereby holding sufficient rail pressure to prevent boiling during hot soak conditions. In another aspect, a flow stabilization orifice (18) is provided between the outlet of the pump and the inlet metering valve, e.g., upstream of the pressure regulating element. In yet a further aspect, the inlet metering valve is hydraulically responsive (6, S, L) to changes in flow resulting from movement of the pressure responsive element (13).Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Stanadyne LLCInventors: Robert G. Lucas, Yevgeniy Norkin

Patent number: 8225602Abstract: A urea solution injection system and an injector with which urea solution or other exhaust treatment liquid from a source tank can be injected as an atomized spray into an exhaust pipe. A metering pump with integrated injection nozzle are contained in a common housing mounted directly to the exhaust pipe, thereby eliminating the separate electric motor driven pump, line between pump, and injector in conventional systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2009Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Stanadyne CorporationInventors: Mark S.
