  • Patent number: 6238190
    Abstract: A fuel injector pump for an internal combustion engine including a camshaft-driven fuel delivery plunger, a solenoid valve for controlling transfer of liquid fuel from a fuel plunger cavity to a fuel injector nozzle, and a snubber valve located between the fuel injector nozzle and the plunger whereby unrestricted fuel flow is distributed to the injector nozzle and reverse flow from the nozzle to the plunger chamber is restricted so that cavitation in the fuel delivery passage extending to the nozzle will be avoided and undesirable pressure peaks at the fuel pump are avoided.

  • Patent number: 6089470
    Abstract: A control valve assembly for use in a pump or injector of fuel injection systems is provided. A pump or injector body has a pumping chamber, and a valve chamber. The valve chamber defines a valve seat and has an axial guiding portion. A plunger is disposed in the pumping chamber. A valve body disposed in the valve chamber controls fuel. The valve body has a valve stem defining a seating surface. The valve body further has a valve guide in sliding engagement with the valve chamber guiding portion. The valve body is axially movable with respect to the valve chamber over a stroke range. The valve guide has an outer engagement surface that slidingly engages the valve chamber guiding portion with a clearance fit of at least about 5 micrometers in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the axial length of the engagement surface is at most about 7 millimeters. The reduced axial length and/or the clearance fit improve initial sealing performance and sealing performance over the life cycle of the product.
