Patent number: 10724447Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Woodward L'Orange GmbHInventors: Ingmar Joachim Berger, Enrico Bärow, Michael Nitsche

Patent number: 10612503Abstract: A dual-fuel injector for a fuel injection device, including: a liquid fuel injector unit with a nozzle needle assigned to a liquid fuel nozzle arrangement of the dual-fuel injector and which is stroke controllable via a first control chamber; and a gas injector unit with a gas nozzle needle assigned to a gas nozzle arrangement of the dual-fuel injector and which is stroke controllable via a second control chamber. Each of the control chambers can be impinged with a control fluid to control the stroke of the respective nozzle needle. The control fluid from both the control chambers can be discharged. The dual-fuel injector has a control fluid reservoir in which discharged control fluid from the first control chamber can be introduced; the dual-fuel injector is configured to impinge the second control chamber with control fluid from the control fluid reservoir for the stroke control of the gas nozzle needle.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Woodward L'Orange GmbHInventor: Markus Kalenborn
