  • Patent number: 6679200
    Abstract: The above discussed and other drawbacks and deficiencies are overcome or alleviated by a reductant injection system for an internal combustion engine including a selective reduction system communicated with the internal combustion engine, a vehicle sensor communicated with the internal combustion engine, a controller, wherein the controller is communicated with the selective reduction system and the vehicle sensor and a reductant storage device communicated with the selective reduction system.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5497806
    Abstract: A three-way valve including a valve housing having a valve chamber and a high pressure fluid supply inlet, high pressure fluid outlet and drain communicating with the valve chamber is disclosed. A movable member is reciprocally received in the valve chamber so as to be reciprocated between first and second positions for selectively fluidically communicating the outlet with either the inlet or drain. A first valve seat is formed in the valve housing and concentrically disposed in the valve chamber for sealing communication between the outlet and drain and a second valve seat is concentrically disposed in a cavity formed in the movable member for sealing communication between the inlet and outlet. A floating pin is received in the movable valve member cavity at a one end of the movable valve member and cooperates with the second valve seat for selectively sealing fluidic communication between the inlet and the outlet.

  • Patent number: 5419294
    Abstract: A fuel system for an engine (10) has a transducer (16) which supplies an input signal to an electronic fuel control system (15) representing driven demand. A variable gain amplifier (19) modifies the signal applied to the control system and is controlled by a load sensor (20) which detects when a suddenly applied load is placed on the engine such as when an air conditioning compressor (18) is brought into operation or when the power output of the alternator (17) is suddenly increased.

  • Patent number: 5040497
    Abstract: A starting aid for a diesel engine comprises a housing (10) having a longitudinal passageway (12). Fuel is admitted to an upstream section (13) of the passageway via an inlet opening (14) and the fuel exits a downstream section (16) of the passageway via outlet openings (17). An electromagnetically-controlled plate valve (18) regulates a flow of fuel from the upstream, to the downstream section of the passageway, and a helical heater coil (32) heats the fuel as it passes along an annular part (31) of the downstream section (16) of the passageway (12).
