Abstract: A fuel injection system comprising a common rail pressure reservoir filled with fuel at high pressure and having a dual-substance nozzle for dual fluid injection of fuel and a supplementary liquid into an internal combustion engine. The system includes a first 2/2-way valve, in the injection line between the common rail pressure reservoir and a pressure chamber surrounding the nozzle needle of the dual-substance nozzle, and a second 2/2-way valve, whose inlet communicates, via a feed line with the injection line at a point between the first 2/2-way valve and the pressure chamber. An outlet of the pressure chamber communicates with the low-pressure fuel side via a drain line (8). As a result, the otherwise usual, technologically much more complicated 3/2-way magnet valves can be replaced with more economical 2/2-way valves. At the same time, the possibility is afforded of shifting the quantity metering for supplementary liquid to a single metering valve that serves an entire group of fuel injectors.

Abstract: A fuel injection system with a common rail pressure reservoir which receives fuel at high pressure, and with a dual-substance nozzle for bifluid injection of fuel and a supplementary fluid into an intern combustion engine. The system includes a first 2/2-way valve (MV1) in the injection line between the common rail pressure reservoir and a pressure chamber surrounding the nozzle needle of the dual-substance nozzle, and a second 2/2-way valve (MV2), whose inlet communicates via a supply line with the injection line at a point between the first 2/2-way valve (MV1) and the pressure chamber (3.5), and whose outlet communicates with an outlet line on a fuel low-pressure side. The system is economical and at the same time, it becomes possible to shift the metering for supplementary fluid to a single metering valve that controls an entire group of injectors.

Abstract: A fuel injection system having a common rail pressure reservoir filled with high-pressure fuel and having a dual-fuel injector for a bi-fluid injection of fuel and an additive fluid into an internal combustion engine. The system includes a first 2/2-way valve in the injection line between the common rail pressure reservoir and a pressure chamber encompassing the injector needle of the dual-fuel injector as well as a second 2/2-way valve, whose inlet is connected via a supply line to the injection line at a point between the first 2/2-way valve and the pressure chamber, and whose outlet is connected to the low-pressure fuel side by way of an outlet line. As a result, the otherwise conventional 3/2-way solenoid control valves, which are significantly more complex technically, can be replaced by more reasonably priced 2/2-way valves. At the same time, this raises the possibility of shifting the quantity metering for additive fluid to a single metering valve that serves an entire group of injectors.

Abstract: A piston pump for pumping fuel in which a risk of fuel getting into the area of a shaft seal is limited. The fuel pump includes a separation chamber which is provided between a shaft seal and a fuel chamber that contains fuel. Located in the separation chamber is for instance air as a separator means, and the separation chamber communicates with an air inlet of the engine. This assures that fuel cannot get into the area of the shaft seal or escape to the outside. The fuel pump is suitable in particular for internal combustion engines in which the fuel must be delivered at high pressure.

Abstract: A piston pump which is contemplated for furnishing fuel at high pressure, especially gasoline with low self-lubricating properties. To avoid drive-side wear, a rotatably drive eccentric element is provided as the actuating device for the pump piston of the piston pump, the driving motion of the eccentric element being transmitted to the pump piston via a flexible transmission element.

Abstract: The electrohydraulic adjusting device for actuating a device for adjusting at least one camshaft of an internal combustion engine relative to its crankshaft has two differential pistons each of which serves to adjust a camshaft (intake camshaft or exhaust camshaft). Each of the two differential pistons have a small effective piston surface which is acted upon with pressure by a pump. An independent pressure control valve is associated with each of the pressure chambers on a larger effective piston surface, via which valve, the pressure in this pressure chamber can be controlled independently of the other differential piston.

Abstract: The hydraulic setting device has a differential cylinder (11) whose annular space (14) is continually subjected to pressure by a pump (16). The pressure space (18) at the large piston surface is connected to the pump via a connection conduit (41). A conduit branch, which leads to a control valve (21), emerges from this connection conduit (41). At the other end, this control valve is in connection with a return conduit (26). The pressure in the conduit branch (19), and therefore in the pressure spaces (14, 18) of the differential cylinder, can be varied by appropriate activation of the control valve.

Abstract: A tank bleeder valve for the metered admixture of volatilized fuel to the fuel-air mixture of an internal combustion engine has a valve housing with inflow and outflow necks, between which an electromagnetically actuatable seat valve is disposed. The inflow neck communicates with the vent neck of a fuel tank, and the outflow neck communicates with the engine intake manifold. To prevent dieseling of the engine after the ignition is switched off, the seat valve is embodied such that it is very tightly closed when there is no current. To this end, the valve opening of the seat valve is embodied as an annular gap, coaxially surrounded on the inside and outside by a valve seat in the form of an annular double seat. The valve element of the seat valve is embodied as an annular disk of magnetically conductive material, which is loaded with a closing force acting in the closing direction of the seat valve. The annular disk simultaneously acts as the armature of the electromagnet.

Abstract: For controlling high-pressure phases during the stroke of a pump piston of a fuel injection pump, magnetic valves are also used, which are built into relief lines of the pump work chamber of such fuel injection pumps and which with the instant of closure of the relief line determine the injection onset and with the instant of reopening of the relief line determine the end of injection and hence the injection quantity. Such valves must be capable of switching rapidly, in view of the high rpm of internal combustion engines, yet must be as small as possible and use the least possible energy. By using a piston slide which in the closing state is balanced in pressure on the high-pressure side, and by relieving the chambers defined on the face end by the piston slide, a fast-switching, recoilless magnetic valve is obtained, which is opened by a restoring spring when the electromagnet is in the currentless state.
