  • Patent number: 7464886
    Abstract: An electrically operated injector (1) for feeding a gaseous fuel to a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes an electromagnetic actuator (2) acting on a mechanical interceptor member (3) arranged to free or intercept a passage (4) for the fuel from a feed conduit (61) to a delivery conduit (5) connected to an outlet (6), between the delivery conduit (5) and the interceptor member (3) there being positioned a seal element (40). This latter is carried by the interceptor member (3) and has a shape tapering towards the delivery conduit (5) in order to effectively intercept the fuel gas passage (4) and minimize the area of impact with an annular end portion (43) of the delivery conduit (5).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6951210
    Abstract: An improved feed and control system for an internal combustion engine able to be fed with one or other of two fuels such as petrol and liquid gas or petrol and methane, the engine comprising a plurality of first members for introducing a first fuel into corresponding explosion chambers and a plurality of second members for introducing the second fuel into the explosion chambers, the first introduction members being commanded and controlled by a control unit which, on the basis of preselected parameters, acts on the first members such as to achieve optimum engine operation. The control unit also commands and controls the plurality of the second introduction members which feed the second fuel to the respective explosion chambers, the unit hence being the only unit for controlling the engine operation, independently of whether it is operated with the first or with the second fuel.

    Abstract: An improved feed and control system for an internal combustion engine able to be fed with one or other of two fuels such as petrol and liquid gas or petrol and methane, said engine comprising a plurality of first members (26) for introducing a first fuel into corresponding explosion chambers and a plurality of second members (6) for introducing the second fuel into said explosion chambers, said first introduction members (26) being commanded and controlled by a control unit (8) which, on the basis of preselected parameters, acts on said first members (26) such as to achieve optimum engine operation. Said control unit (8) also commands and controls the plurality of said second introduction members (6) which feed the second fuel to the respective explosion chambers, said unit (8) hence being the only unit for controlling the engine operation, independently of whether it is operated with the first or with the second fuel.
