Abstract: A fuel inlet opens at one end between a valve seat and an inner surface of a valve housing on which a globe valve slides. The other end of the fuel inlet opens to an external surface of the valve housing. The fuel inlet runs almost in the direction of a central axis of the globe valve so as to prevent the formation of vortex flow around the globe valve. A spiral member is pressure fitted inside the valve housing immediately downstream of the valve seat with the spiral member being formed as a rod with a spiral fuel groove to swirl the fuel along the groove. An outlet orifice for fuel metering is formed immediately downstream of and as near as possible to the spiral member.
Abstract: A fuel supplying system used in engine starting includes throttle valve means disposed in an intake air passage and metering valve means disposed in a fuel passage which extends from a fuel reservoir to a space of the intake air passage downstream from the throttle valve means. In order to obtain a required air-fuel ratio of a mixture determined in accordance with data representing states of an engine, in the fuel supplying system an opening degree of the throttle valve means which have a response delay is held constant and an opening degree of the metering valve means is adapted to be changed in accordance with a change of the required air-fuel ratio.
Abstract: An apparatus for enriching an air-fuel mixture supplied by a carburetor upon starting operation of an internal combustion engine comprises a fuel quantity increasing passage which is operative independent of main fuel supply system. The passage has an inlet communicated to a fuel supply source and an outlet opened at a location downstream of a throttle valve. The amount of fuel ejected from the outlet of the passage is controlled by a control signal which represents a product of a value variable in dependence on a suction vacuum, the rotational frequency of the engine and a value variable in dependence on the temperature of engine cooling water.
Abstract: A carburetor including a main fuel system and a low-speed fuel system having a throttle valve shaft located parallel to a row of cylinders located in side-by-side relationship substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of a vehicle. The carburetor is connected to a suction manifold in such a manner that a float chamber is interposed between the throttle valve shaft and the row of cylinders.
Abstract: A method and a system are disclosed for controlling the amount and advance of fuel injection of a diesel engine using an injection pump of the type which defines the fuel supply period and the compression period, alternately, in synchronism with explosion-exhaustion and intake-compression strokes of each cylinder of the engine, and includes first and second pressure chambers to be supplied with fuel through first and second electromagnetic valves, respectively, during the fuel supply period, and the fuel in the amount equivalent to the fuel amount supplied to said second pressure chamber being injected into the cylinder at an injection timing determined from the total amount of the fuel supplied to said first and second pressure chambers. The open time intervals of the first and second electromagnetic valves are determined from the fuel amount to be injected into each cylinder and the injection timing advance which are determined in accordance with the engine operating conditions.
