  • Orifice disc for fuel injector
    Patent number: 7472845
    Abstract: An orifice disc for a fuel injector includes two orifices that provide a desired interaction between two fuel flows to increase fuel atomization and improve combustion performance. The orifice disc includes a first orifice and a second orifice that are disposed at an interaction angle relative to each other. The orifices are orientated relative to each other such that fuel flow exiting the outlets impinges on each other to further reduce the size of fuel droplets. Large dramatic changes in momentum caused by the impingement of fuel flows disintegrates fuel droplets into much smaller finer fuel droplets that provided enhanced atomization.
