Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus having a fuel injector fed by a high-pressure fuel source and having an injection valve with injection nozzles associated with coaxial inner and outer nozzle needles can be actuated in a pressure-dependent manner to open and close various injection cross sections at the injection nozzles. A pressure surface of the outer nozzle needle is associated with a closing chamber. To actuate the outer nozzle needle, a first on/off valve can connect the closing chamber to a low-pressure/return system. The inner nozzle needle has a control piston whose pressure surface protrudes into a second control chamber, and a second on/off valve is can connect the control chamber to the low-pressure/return system so that when the second on/off valve is actuated, the pressure is relieved in the second control chamber. This permits a separate actuation of the outer nozzle needle and inner nozzle needle.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines with a fuel injector that can be supplied from a high-pressure fuel source has an injection valve, with injection nozzles pointing toward the combustion chamber, and coaxial inner and outer nozzle needles assigned to the injection nozzles are triggerable as a function of pressure to open and close various injection cross sections at the injection nozzles. Each of the nozzle needless is assigned a respective damping piston, and the damping pistons are movable relative to one another and act on a damping chamber which can be made to communicate with a low-pressure return system via an outlet throttle. In addition to the damping chamber, a closing chamber is provided, to which an end face of the outer nozzle needle is exposed in the closing direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a 3/2-way valve for controlling the injection of fuel in a common rail injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a first switching position, in which an injection nozzle is in communication with a fuel return, and a second switching position, in which the injection nozzle is in communication with a common rail.
