Abstract: A fuel injection device for diesel engines, having at least one pump plunger (4), which is sealingly guided in a plunger bushing (5) and forms, together with said plunger bushing (5), a high-pressure space (11) that is connected to a low-pressure space (13) by means of a control element during the downward motion of the fuel pump plunger, said high-pressure space (11) being placed in free flow communication with an injection valve (49) via an injection line 48. The use of a continuously open flow connection between the high-pressure space 11 and the injection valve 49 minimizes dead space thereby permitting development of high injection pressures.

Abstract: The fuel injector includes an injection pump element with electromagnetically actuated control valve body supported therein for the control of the beginning of delivery and the quantity delivered. The injection pump element and the control valve are individually replaceable and the control valve body seats without recoil. A control valve (2), which is arranged with clearance in a stepped hole (19) in a plunger bushing (5) is supported in sealing elements (20). The freedom from recoil is achieved by adaptation of a minimum clearance (46) between an anchor plate (30) and an electromagnetic adjusting device (7), the anchor plate (30) being situated in a liquid-filled damping space (33) and the minimum clearance (46) being optimized as a function of the mass of the moving parts of the control valve (2), the spring stiffness of the control valve seat (25), the geometry of an anchor plate (30) and the viscosity of the fuel in the service temperature range.

Abstract: A fuel injection system for a diesel engine in which an electromagnetically actuated valve determines the initiation and conclusion of injection. A valve of this sort consists of a primary slide valve component 3 which, in its closed position, makes a seating engagement with a tapered valve seat 5 to close a connecting channel 16 between the injection line 10 and a dumping passage 12. The primary valve component is moved to its open position by an electromagnetically actuated impact bolt 40. In order to avoid problems associated with seat valves, a second electrically operated valve component 6 is provided in a second connecting channel 25 between the high pressure channel 7 and the dumping channel 12.

Abstract: A control valve for a fuel injector, especially of an air-compressing, spontaneous-ignition, internal combustion engine. The control valve includes a valve body in the form of a piston valve which is axially movable in a housing chamber into a closure position and an open position, with the closure position being determined by a valve seat on the housing, and a seating surface edge on the piston valve. The housing chamber includes at least one high pressure connection, and a low pressure connection. The basic problem with a control valve of this general type is that when the piston valve strikes the valve seat, rebound movements are carried out by the piston valve, so that the closure position can only be reliably assumed after a certain time delay, thus negatively influencing the injection process.

Abstract: A fuel injection arrangement for air-compressing, spontaneous-ignition, internal combustion engines. The arrangement includes at least one electromagnetic control valve via which a high-pressure channel of a fuel injection pump can be connected with a low-pressure channel. The control valve includes a valve body which is in the form of a piston valve, is spring-loaded, and is axially movable in a housing chamber which is provided with at least one connection on the high-pressure end, and with a connection on the low-pressure end. The piston valve is in operative connection with an electromagnetic adjusting device which can preferably be controlled by an electrically-operating data processor. The piston valve region on the high-pressure end is delimited by a valve seat and has a fixed diameter which corresponds to the diameter of the valve seat. The piston valve region on the low-pressure end has a diameter which is less than that of the piston valve region on the high-pressure end.
