Abstract: An electronic module interfaces a microcomputer with the fuel injection equipment of a diesel engine so that the microcomputer, acting through the module, exercises control over the fuel injected into the engine. A pulse width modulated fuel deliver control signal issued by the microcomputer is transmitted through the module to energize a proportional solenoid actuator that positions the fuel rack. Rack position is sensed by an eddy current sensor that provides feedback through the module to the microcomputer so that the rack position is closed-loop controlled. The sensor has a measurement coil for measuring rack position and a reference coil for temperature compensation. The two coils are connected in a circuit of the module that produces a pulse width modulated feedback signal which is supplied to the microcomputer in synchronism with the fuel deliver control signal. This latter circuit comprises an L/R monostable for each coil and pulse stretchers that stretch the output pulses from the monostables.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine operating with fuel injection, the fuel charge of each cylinder of the engine being divided in two or three portions of different amount, injected sequentially starting with a portion of small amount. The portions of the fuel charge are injected through the same injector in the same combustion chamber. The smaller portions of the fuel charge are accumulated in the injector. The accumulation occurs during the injection of the larger portion of the fuel charge. The accumulated fuel is injected in the next cycle by fuel expansion. When the fuel charge is divided in three portions the large portion of the fuel charge is preceded and followed by small portions.

Abstract: When motor vehicles are driven, discontinuities that lead to load spikes arise between overrunning and running under load. The load spikes are avoided by means of a discontinuous increase in fuel quantity, which makes it possible for the engine to come gently to rest in its suspension, to bypass the drive play, and to convert the changes in increased fuel quantity without bucking. By incorporating drag elements into the connection between the arbitrary actuation of an intermediate lever, which affects the fuel injection quantity, and an idling stop, a discontinuous adjustment of the intermediate lever is attained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine, which utilizes a fuel supply control valve and pilot or servo-valve to control the supply and drain of fuel to and from a main fuel chamber. More particularly, the pilot valve separates and isolates the main fuel chamber from the control valve which controls the fuel supply to the main fuel chamber. In this manner, the control valve can operate without interference from the fuel pressure fluctuations created in the main fuel chamber by a reciprocating plunger.

The ejector comprises a housing with an inlet opening from the fuel tank laterally into the housing. An inlet channel for surplus engine fuel communicates into the ejector housing through a nozzle orifice outlet. An evacuation channel from the ejector housing has an inlet that is aligned with the nozzle orifice. The conicity of the ejector housing and of the inlet channel in the vicinity of the nozzle orifice is disclosed. The evacuation channel has an outlet that extends essentially tangentially into the free space inside the fuel chamber around the outside of a fuel pump therein.

Abstract: The lever (13) cooperates on the one hand with a rotatable part (12) and, on the other, is coupled with a to-and-fro movable adjusting member (14). The lever (13) consists of a housing (15) traversed by the rotatable part (12), of a piston-like spring plate (16) and of a return spring (19) clamped-in between housing (15) and sping plate (16). Spring plate (16) and rotatable part (12) form in the mutually cooperating area a torque-limiting driving device. The hollow space (25) underneath the spring plate (16) is adapted to be acted upon with oil pressure by bores (21, 22) in the rotatable part (12) which are controllably connected to a pressure oil source (24). The oil pressure displaces the spring plate (16) so that the driving device is disengaged. The lever (13) is then displaced by the spring (27) of the to-and-fro movable part into an end position independently of the position of the rotatable part (12) which corresponds to the zero delivery of the fuel injection pump (11).

Abstract: A diesel internal combustion engine 1 has an air intake 2, an injection pump 3 and an exhaust pipe 4. In the fuel injection line 7 is arranged an electromagnetic shut-off valve 8, which closes the fuel supply when the "ignition" switch 10 is turned off, in order to bring the engine 1 to an immediate halt. In the exhaust pipe 4 is arranged a lambda lean probe 12, which feeds to a comparator electronics system 14 a signal corresponding to the oxygen content of the exhaust gas; this signal is compared in the comparator circuit with a lambda nominal value. If an excess quantity of fuel has been injected, for example, due to a fault in the injection system the value detected by the lambda probe 12 will fail to reach the nominal value, whereupon the comparator electronic system 14 activates a switch 15 in the control line 9 of the shut-off valve 8. The current supply to the shut-off valve 8 is interrupted and the fuel supply to the engine 1 is shut off.
