Kartik RAJARAM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: A low pressure regulator for a high pressure fuel pump includes a standard damping orifice, providing a constant level of piston movement damping by enabling a fluid pathway between a spring chamber and a return line. The low pressure regulator also includes a further damping orifice, which is covered by the piston when discharge port holes are open, the further damping orifice providing a further, variable level of piston movement damping by providing a further fluid pathway between the spring chamber and return line. The further damping orifice is open in a hydraulic accumulator mode and closed in a regulator mode, thereby reducing pressure spikes caused by insufficient spring chamber filling.
