  • Valve with combined valve members and fuel--injection system provided with such a valve
    Patent number: 5787860
    Abstract: A valve comprises an inlet and two outlets. The flow to the two outlets is controlled by an integrated valve having two members which operate in conjunction with the two valve seats associated with the outlets. The valve is used in an air-assisted fuel-injection system of an internal-combustion engine, wherein the first outlet of the valve is connected to a bypass of a throttle valve of the engine, and the second outlet of the valve is connected to an air-assisted fuel injector of the fuel-injection system. In this manner, both the atomization of the fuel injected by the fuel injector and the idling speed of the engine are controlled by a single valve.
