Abstract: Each of the pump cylinders disposed in a line, of the fuel injection pump is surrounded in the vicinity of an overflow opening controlled by control edges of the pump piston by a partial suction chamber embodied as a hollow space. Each of these partial suction chambers is supplied with fuel, beginning at an inflow conduit via a throttled inflow opening and the fuel is carried away again via a return-flow opening into a return-flow conduit common to all the pump cylinders. Because of the crosswise flushing of each individual partial suction chamber the fuel temperature in these partial suction chambers is kept at least virtually constant, in order that identical fuel quantities will be supplied to the individual pump cylinders.

Abstract: A control device for Diesel engines is proposed in which a rapid shutoff of the engine can be effected by evacuating the suction chamber of the injection pump. The control device includes a supply pump and a reversal valve, which in a stop position connects the suction chamber with the intake side of the supply pump and connects the compression side of the supply pump with the fuel tank. A check valve is provided in the supply line between the supply pump and the fuel filter which, when closed, is vacuum-tight; this check valve is disposed to open toward the filter, counter to the force of a valve closing spring. Another check valve, comprising an overflow valve determining the suction chamber pressure, is provided in an overflow line leading from the suction chamber to the fuel tank; this overflow valve is also vacuum-tight when closed. When the reversal valve is actuated by an electromagnet, a similar key-actuated shutoff to that known in gasoline engines can also be effected in Diesel engines.
