  • Nozzle assembly for a fluid injector and fluid injector
    Patent number: 10107246
    Abstract: A nozzle assembly for a fluid injector includes a nozzle body with a central axis, the nozzle body having a nozzle body recess, at least one injection opening and an outer wall facing away from the nozzle body recess. The nozzle assembly further includes a nozzle tension nut for coupling the nozzle body to an injector body, the nozzle tension nut having an inner wall facing the outer wall of the nozzle body. The nozzle body and the nozzle tension nut are formed such that, under the effect of an operational pressure exerted in ordinary operation by a metered fluid onto the nozzle body recess, the outer wall of the nozzle body rests, at least in part, against the inner wall of the nozzle tension nut in the radial direction.
