A high-pressure a radial piston fuel pump in which the intake valves are embodied as ball valves, which has an advantageous effect on the efficiency of the high-pressure fuel pump. Moreover, the production and assembly of the high-pressure fuel pump of the invention are simplified by the use of ball valves.

High-pressure fuel pump with a ball valve in the low-pressure inlet

A high-pressure pump having a pump housing in which a plurality of pump elements are disposed, and by means of which fluid is pumped at high pressure via a high-pressure conduit system to a common high-pressure connection. The pump housing has a housing body and for each pump element one housing cap covering the pump element and joined to the housing body. The high-pressure conduit system has high-pressure bores extending without intersections in the housing body which bores are joined together in the region of the transition from the housing body to one of the housing caps, or in one of the housing caps, to form the common high-pressure connection.

High-pressure pump, in particular for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine

Fuel injection system having a feed pump by which fuel is pumped out of a fuel tank to the intake side of a high-pressure pump pumps fuel into a reservoir as a function of engine operating parameters. A fuel metering device is provided for adjusting the fuel quantity pumped into the reservoir by the high-pressure pump. An electrically actuated blocking valve is disposed between the feed pump and the high-pressure pump, and by means of this valve the high-pressure pump can be disconnected completely from the feed pump. By means of the blocking valve, it can still be attained that no fuel is pumped by the high-pressure pump even if the fuel metering device does not provide complete sealing.

Fuel-injection device for an internal combustion engine

The fuel injection system has a high-pressure pump, by which fuel is pumped into a reservoir, with which injectors disposed on cylinders of the engine communicate. A feed pump pumps fuel out of a fuel tank to the high-pressure pump and a fuel metering device triggered by a control unit and disposed between the feed pump and the high-pressure pump controls the fuel quantity delivered to the high-pressure pump. The fuel metering device is formed by a clocking valve, which is opened and closed in pulse-width-modulated fashion by the control unit, and the fuel quantity delivered to the intake side of the high-pressure pump is proportional to the opening duration of the clocking valve.
