An injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine, especially a diesel engine, for injecting different pressure mediums directly into a cylinder of the engine, which arrangement includes a first valve (3), which is arranged to inject fuel, and a second (4) valve, which is arranged to inject an additional medium, by means of which the content of noxious substances resulting from burning of the fuel can be decreased. Said second valve (4) comprises an elongated valve member (5) movable within a valve body (2) against the force of a spring (12) and in association with the part of which located on the cylinder side there is arranged a chamber (6), which encircles the valve member (5) and into which said additional medium is arranged to be fed continuously under pressure. Said chamber (6) is limited at its end away from the cylinder to a step made in the valve member (5) and serving as a piston surface (7) and being so dimensioned that the mere pressure of the additional medium fed into the chamber (6) is not sufficient as such in order to open the valve (4) for effecting injection. In addition the arrangement comprises a control valve (27) controlled by an electric signal (35) and which, under the influence of the control signal (35), is arranged to effect, together with the pressure of the additional medium acting on the said piston surface (7) in the valve member (5), movement of the valve member (5) into a position opening the valve (4) for injection of the additional medium into the cylinder.

Injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine

An injection arrangement for injecting a pressure medium, especially fuel, into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, specifically a large diesel engine with several cylinders, comprising at least two injection pump elements (1a,1b) arranged in a common pump body (1) and arranged to inject the pressure medium into the same cylinder during at least one continuous injection period, each pump element (1a,1b) including a pump cylinder (7a,7b), a piston member (8a,8b) reciprocatingly movable therein and a pressure chamber (13,13a,13b). The piston members (8a,8b) receive their control from a cam race (5a,5b) of at least one cam arranged in a camshaft (4) or the like of the engine and the pressure chambers (13,13a,13b,13c) in the pump cylinders (7a,7b) are continuously in connection with each other. In order to determine the entire volume of the injection during said injection period as well as the speed and timing of the injection affecting it the piston members (8a,8b) are provided with control edges for the timing of the injection so that the control edge (10b) in one of the piston members (8b) determines the starting moment of the injection and the control edge (10a) in the other piston member (8a) respectively determines the termination of the injection during movement of the piston members (8a,8b) towards the direction of the pressure chambers (13,13a,13b,13c).
