  • Patent number: 8371107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the regeneration, temperature loading and/or thermal management of a component, assigned to an exhaust system, of an internal combustion engine. The device includes at least one injection valve which injects a fluid, in particular fuel, into the exhaust system, preferably in chatter mode, for example as a function of the pressure of the supplied fluid. The injection valve has a valve head and a valve seat which have geometries designed in such a way that a fluidic force of the supplied fluid acting on the injection valve drops continuously over a stroke of the valve head. The invention also relates to an injection valve having such valve-head and valve-seat geometries and to a corresponding method for the regeneration, temperature loading and/or thermal management of a component, assigned to an exhaust system, of an internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20100319325
    Abstract: Proposed is a device for metering fuel into the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. An injection valve is arranged in the exhaust system and is cooled by a flowing cooling liquid even in its closed state. The injection valve is supplied with fuel via a fuel inflow, from which a first partial flow is injected into the exhaust gas and from which a second partial flow is recirculated via a fuel collecting return line into a fuel storage tank. The fuel inflow is fed from a low-pressure system of an injection system which serves for metering fuel for combustions which take place in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The device has a damping mechanism, which is hydraulically connected to the fuel inflow, for damping pressure oscillations.

  • Patent number: 7698934
    Abstract: A procedure specifically for the execution of a diagnosis of an emission treatment system is being introduced. The pressure of the reagent between the first and second valve and/or between the second valve and the injector valve is measured and the pressure measuring signal are the basis of the diagnosis. The first and second valve, are opened in an alternating cycle, where the opening time, and/or the period duration of the first and second valves are set in such a way that the emerging diagnostic flow volume is smaller than the measuring flow volume. The procedures pursuant to the invention thereby reduce the influence of dynamic precursors of the reagent flow in the reagent line and enables, aside from an increase in reliability of the diagnosis results, a diagnosis possibility of small leakages.

  • Patent number: 6758414
    Abstract: A fuel injection device having a fuel pump for each cylinder of an internal combustion engine, which fuel pump has a pump piston that is driven in a stroke motion by the engine and delimits a pump working chamber, which is connected to a fuel injection valve that constitutes a structural unit with the fuel pump and has an injection valve member, which controls at least one injection opening and can be moved in the opening direction counter to a closing force by the pressure generated in the pump working chamber. A first electrically actuated control valve controls a connection of the line to a discharge chamber. A second electrically actuated control valve controls a connection of a control pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve to the pump working chamber, by means of which the injection valve member is at least indirectly acted on in the closing direction.
