Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid conveyance system for a fluid, comprising a low-pressure conveyance system having a low-pressure pump (2) and a high-pressure conveyance system having a high-pressure pump (8), which are connected by means of a connecting line, wherein the fluid conveyance system has a pressure damper (19). According to the invention, a fluid conveyance system is provided, by means of which a pulsation of the fluid caused by flow-rate waves or pressure waves in the fluid is damped. This is achieved in that the pressure damper (19) is arranged in the lower-pressure conveyance system and is a hydraulic pressure damper (19). Said hydraulic damper (19) has a piston (21) arranged in a cylinder (20), which piston can be moved against the force of a compression spring (23) and the vapor pressure present in a compression-spring chamber (22) accommodating the compression spring.

Abstract: The vane pump has a housing containing a rotor driven by a drive shaft. A number of grooves are distributed over the rotor circumference and extend in a substantially radial direction of the rotor, in each of which grooves a wing-shaped delivery element is guided in sliding fashion. The rotor is surrounded by a circumferential wall that extends eccentrically in relation to its rotation axis against which the radially outer ends of the delivery elements rest. Housing end walls of the pump housing adjoin the rotor in the direction of its rotation axis. An annular groove encompassing the rotation axis of the rotor is provided in at least one of the housing end walls and is situated opposite the radially inner regions of the grooves of the rotor and communicates with the pressure region via a connecting groove in the housing end wall. The connecting groove extends from the pressure region radially inward in the rotation direction of the rotor to the annular groove.

Abstract: A valve assembly of a high-pressure fuel pump includes a valve element disposed in a valve chamber and a fluid conduit adjoining the valve chamber upstream. The fluid conduit is embodied such that in at least some portions a rotation (swirl) about a longitudinal axis of the fluid conduit is impressed on the fluid stream that flows toward the valve chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel metering unit for high-pressure pumps of fuel injection systems, whose leakproofness in zero delivery operation has been further improved and whose manufacture and assembly have been simplified.

Abstract: A check valve having a valve housing inserted into a receptacle in which housing a pistonlike valve member is guided longitudinally displaceably and cooperating with a valve seat on the valve housing. The valve member is urged in the closing direction by a prestressed closing spring and in the opening direction by the pressure prevailing in an inlet, and the valve member is inserted into the valve housing from the side of the valve seat. The valve housing is embodied in one piece and is embodied as cup-shaped and has both a bottom and a jacket region that defines a recess. With the open end of its recess, the valve housing points out of the receptacle, and the valve seat is located on the bottom of the valve housing, facing away from the recess. With a shaft, the valve member protrudes through a bore in the bottom into the recess in which the closing spring is located.

Abstract: The high-pressure pump has at least one pump element with a pump piston driven in a reciprocating motion and defining a pump work chamber into which fuel is aspirated from a fuel inlet via an inlet valve in the intake stroke and from which fuel is positively displaced in the pumping stroke. The inlet valve has a valve member which with a sealing face cooperates with a valve seat for controlling the communication of the pump work chamber with the fuel inlet. The sealing face of the valve member has two portions with first and second cone angles that are different from one another. The seat face has a constant, third cone angle that is different from the first and second cone angles. At the transition between the two portions of the sealing face, a protruding edge is formed, with which the sealing face comes to rest on the seat face with the constant cone angle.

Moreover, the production and assembly of the high-pressure fuel pump of the invention are simplified by the use of ball valves.

Abstract: A fuel injection apparatus having a fuel supply pump supplying fuel to a high-pressure pump which delivers fuel into a reservoir with a metering device for adjusting the fuel quantity delivered into the reservoir; the metering device has a control valve triggered by an actuator. The control valve has a valve element guided in a cylinder of a valve housing can be slid by the actuator in opposition to a spring and in cooperation with an opening in the cylinder bore connected to an inlet from the supply pump or an outlet to the high-pressure pump, controls a flow cross section from the supply pump to the high-pressure pump. The valve element can close the flow cross section at least almost completely and also control a connection of the inlet from the supply pump or of the outlet to the high-pressure pump to a discharge region, and open this connection when it closes the flow cross section.

Abstract: The fuel injection system has a high-pressure pump, by which fuel is pumped at high pressure into a reservoir. By means of a feed pump, fuel is pumped from a fuel tank to the high-pressure pump. By means of a fuel metering device, disposed between the feed pump and the high-pressure pump, the inflow of fuel to the high-pressure pump is adjusted. From the connection between the feed pump and the fuel metering device, a bypass connection leads away to a relief region. An inflow of fuel from the feed pump to the fuel metering device and/or to the bypass connection is effected through at least one conduit in a housing part, and in the at least one conduit, at least one fuel filter is disposed upstream of the fuel metering device and/or of the bypass connection.
