Abstract: A pressure regulator for a diesel fuel injection system includes an inlet configured to be connected to a reservoir of the diesel fuel injection system of a diesel engine, an outlet configured to be connected to a low-pressure group, a controllable closing device configured to be driven by an actuator between a first state in which the inlet and the outlet are hermetically isolated and a second state in which the inlet is connected to the outlet, and a plurality of spaces arranged on a side of the closing device including the outlet. A pressure compensation duct is configured to connect at least two spaces of the plurality of spaces to each other.

Abstract: The fuel injection system has one high-pressure fuel pump and one fuel injection valve for one cylinder of the engine. The fuel pump has a work chamber, and the injection valve has a valve member, and which is movable in an opening direction, counter to the force of a closing spring, by the pressure in a pressure chamber communicating with the pump work chamber; the closing spring is braced between the injection valve member and a displaceable deflection piston which, defines a prechamber that communicates with the pump work chamber. The deflection piston is movable into a storage chamber counter to the force of the closing spring. The prechamber communicates with the pump work chamber via a first throttle restriction, and the pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve communicates with the pump work chamber via a second throttle restriction, circumventing the prechamber.

Abstract: The fuel injection system has one high-pressure fuel pump (10) and one fuel injection valve (12) for one cylinder of the engine. The high-pressure fuel pump has a pump work chamber (22), and the fuel injection valve (12) has an injection valve member (28), by which at least one injection opening (32) is controlled and which is movable in an opening direction (29), counter to the force of a closing spring (44), by the pressure prevailing in a pressure chamber (40) communicating with the pump work chamber (22); the closing spring (44) is braced on one end on the injection valve member (28) and on the other on a displaceable deflection piston (50), which on its side remote from the closing spring (44) defines a prechamber (85) that communicates with the pump work chamber (22). The deflection piston (50) is movable into a storage chamber (55) counter to the force of the closing spring (44).

Abstract: Process for the determination of the interfacial area in a container containing a two-phase mixture incorporating a liquid phase and a gaseous phase flowing in the liquid phase in the form of bubbles. For a same path of a sequence of ultrasonic sound wave trains emitted at constant amplitudes in said container, the ratio of the mean values of the maximum amplitudes of the wave trains received after passing through the two-phase mixture and after passing through the liquid phase only is determined and the thus determined ratio is plotted on a calibration curve giving the interfacial area value as a function of this ratio.
