  • Publication number: 20130233282
    Abstract: In a method for operating an injection system for a combustion engine, in an operating situation in which fuel is not requested by combustion engine, a valve is operated during at least one time interval in such a way that no fuel injection takes place, a valve element being moved in relation to at least one valve body by operating the valve.

  • Patent number: 7574994
    Abstract: A fuel injection system having a high-pressure accumulator, in which fuel may be stored at high pressure, at least one fuel injector via which the fuel located in the high-pressure accumulator may be injected into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine being connectable to the high-pressure accumulator. A high-pressure pump draws in fuel out of a leak fuel area, compresses it, and supplies it to the high-pressure accumulator, so that a high fuel pressure is built up therein during operation of the high-pressure pump. A return line having a regulating valve is implemented between the leak fuel area and the high-pressure accumulator, the regulating valve allowing a fuel flow from the leak fuel area into the high-pressure accumulator when the high-pressure pump is shut down.

  • Patent number: 7438057
    Abstract: A common rail fuel injection system having a low-pressure region from which a high-pressure fuel pump acts on fuel with high pressure and delivers it to a high-pressure fuel accumulator from which fuel is supplied to injectors that inject the highly pressurized fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine in which the high-pressure pump, the high-pressure fuel accumulator, and the injectors are associated with a high-pump, pressure region. In order to avoid undesirable delays in the starting of the internal combustion engine, a check valve device is connected between the low-pressure region and the high-pressure region so that when a negative pressure is generated in the high-pressure region, fuel flows from the low-pressure region into the high-pressure region.
