A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, having a fuel injector supplied with fuel from a high-pressure fuel source and including an injection valve member for opening or closing injection openings and a low-pressure circuit with a prefeed pump which pumps fuel from a fuel tank. Partial return fuel quantities, depressurized to the prefeed pressure of the prefeed pump, are delivered to the low-pressure circuit by pressure boosters or by fuel injectors inside an infeed portion via returns.

Fuel injection system comprising a pressure intensifier and a delivery rate-reduced low-pressure circuit

The fuel injection device has a fuel-supply pump that delivers fuel from a fuel tank to a high-pressure pump which delivers fuel to a reservoir connected to at least one injector that injects fuel into the internal combustion engine. A fuel filter is disposed between the fuel-supply pump and the high-pressure pump, wherein a return for fuel from the at least one injector and/or from the reservoir to a low-pressure region is provided. The return is provided with an additional fuel filter and downstream of the fuel filter, the return feeds into the connection between the fuel-supply pump and the high-pressure pump.

Fuel injection device for a combustion engine

A method of operating an internal combustion engine is provided for stabilizing the fuel pressure in a pressure accumulator, for example, when the quantity of fuel withdrawn from the pressure accumulator for injection rapidly changes.

Method of operating an internal combustion engine

Disclosed is a high-pressure assembly for a fuel injection system, including a low-pressure pump, which aspirates fuel from a fuel tank, and a high-pressure pump with a plurality of pump elements. A feed line leads from the low-pressure pump to a suction valve of the applicable pump elements. A flow control valve of the slide type and on the outlet side of it a differential pressure valve are disposed in the feed line. Between the two valves, a return line leading to the fuel tank branches off. The differential pressure valve has an opening pressure which is greater than that of the suction valves. As a result, upon zero pumping of the high-pressure pump, an aspiration of fuel by the pump elements is averted, while in partial filling operation of the high-pressure pump, a largely uniform filling of the pump elements with fuel is achieved.

Fuel tank with a subtank

An arrangement for supplying fuel from a supply container to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, has a supply tank having an interior with a separate chamber, a supply aggregate having a suction side connected with the supply tank and a pressure side connectable with the internal combustion engine, the supply aggregate receiving fuel from the separate chamber of the supply tank, a branching conduit connected with the pressure side of the supply aggregate and having a portion extending near a bottom of the supply tank, an ejector arranged in the portion of the branching conduit and having a pressure pipe opening in the chamber of the supply tank, and a check valve provided in the branching conduit upstream of the ejector as considered in a flow direction of fuel, and opening in the branching conduit after a predetermined limiting pressure has been exceeded.

Arrangement for supplying fuel from supply tank to internal combustion

An injection timing adjuster for internal combustion engines, by which a mutual rotational position of a driven shaft relative to a drive shaft is variable as a function of operating characteristics. The adjuster includes two pairs of cams serving as adjusting mechanisms, the adjusting cams are connected by bolts to intermediate elements, which in turn each are coupled, by one coupling pin, to two each hydraulically actuatable adjusting pistons disposed parallel to one another on one side of the adjuster. The adjusting pistons are guided in a piston holder, which has two lateral limiting faces, which together with two walls offstanding from the intermediate elements form a sliding guide for the intermediate elements. As a result of an improved sliding guidance, the injection timing adjuster can be used for transmitting higher drive outputs than previously in prior art adjusters.

Injection timing adjuster for internal combustion engines

An apparatus for the rpm-dependent adjustment of the timing of an injection pump for internal combustion engines (shaft-type injection adjuster), in which a rotationally driven primary part is connected in a rotationally coupled manner with a secondary part but with the rotational angle between them being variable. The connection is effected via an axially displaceable sliding sheath, which is positively connected via at least one of the parts via a bevel gear and simultaneously acts as an adjusting piston. The working face of this adjusting piston is supplied with a control pressure by a centrifugal force control piston supported in a separate transverse bore in the primary part, either directly or with the intermediacy of an additional control piston, with respect to which then the adjusting piston effecting the coupling between the driving part and the driven part is embodied as a followup piston. A central, inner shaft, which is supported in the driving part and driven part, assumes the function both of guiding the adjusting piston and the control piston disposed in the interior thereof and of supplying the pressure medium.

Apparatus for the rpm-dependent adjustment of the timing of an injection

A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having an injection timing adjustment by means of a hydraulically actuated piston is proposed, the injection timing adjustment being loaded by two restoring springs. Between the two springs, which have different forces, there is a common spring support plate. The variable functional path of the springs is determined by means of a stop and a coupler member.

Fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines

An injection instant adjuster for internal combustion engines is proposed, by means of which the mutual rotary position of an off-drive element relative to a driving element is variable at least in accordance with rpm. The injection instant adjuster includes at least two adjusting cams acting as the adjusting mechanism, which during their rotary movements, effected by control elements, control a 'late' adjustment (.alpha.) of the instant of injection during a first partial rotation (.gamma.) which precedes the 'early' adjustment (.beta.) controlled during the further partial rotation (.delta.). This is possible by means of a suitable selection of the outset position of an adjusting bolt. A detent in the adjusting curve, during which no adjustment takes place within a predetermined rpm range, is controllable at the transition between 'late' and 'early' adjustment by means of the spring sets comprising at least two adjuster springs, whenever the second adjuster spring is installed in the adjuster with initial stress, with the interposition of a spring plate and acting counter to the adjusting force of the control element.

Injection instant adjuster for internal combustion engines

An injection timing device is proposed for internal combustion engines, by means of which the mutual rotary position of the output shaft with respect to the input shaft can be varied in dependence on the speed and on at least one further operating parameter. The timing device comprises flyweights, operating in dependence on the speed against the force of resetting springs, and hydraulically operated control elements which engage the flyweights, these control elements, which are effective radially toward the outside, being accommodated within the timing element. By changing the position of the control elements, the radial position of the flyweights, which otherwise is determined only by centrifugal force, can be additionally varied in dependence on at least one further operating parameter of the engine, preferably the load, in order to correct the instant of injection.

Injection timing device for internal combustion engines

An injection timing device is proposed for internal combustion engines, by means of which the mutual rotary position of the output shaft with respect to the input shaft can be varied at least in dependence on the speed. The timing device comprises at least one pair of eccentrics which serve as the adjusting gear system and comprises an adjusting eccentric and a compensating eccentric, this pair of eccentrics being supported in a bearing member connected to one of the shafts, the adjusting eccentric of this pair also being coupled by means of a transmission member with a hydraulically operable servo piston. By a positional change of the servo piston effected by the hydraulic medium, the adjusting eccentric can be rotated to change the instant of injection.
