A fuel distributor, which is in particular used as a fuel distribution rail for mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines, including a base body, at which at least one high-pressure inlet and multiple high-pressure outlets are provided. An insert element is furthermore provided that is situated in an interior of the base body. In the interior, the insert element separates an inflow area, which extends from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets, at least essentially from a damping area. The insert element is designed as a thin-walled insert element that forms a divider extending through the interior at least from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets.

Fuel distributor for internal combustion engines

A method for ascertaining a setpoint value for a manipulated variable for activating a low-pressure pump in a fuel supply system for an internal combustion engine, including a high-pressure accumulator and a high-pressure pump including a volume control valve, the low-pressure pump being activated in such a way that a pressure provided by the low-pressure pump is reduced across multiple intake phases, in which fuel delivered by the low-pressure pump is sucked in by the high-pressure pump via the volume control valve, the volume control valve being at least temporarily held in a closed position during each of the multiple intake phases, in which it may be opened from a side facing the low-pressure pump, and the setpoint value being ascertained, taking into account an activating value of the manipulated variable, in which a drop in the delivery rate of the high-pressure pump is detected.

Method for ascertaining a setpoint value for a manipulated variable for activating a low-pressure pump

A method for ascertaining a setpoint value for a manipulated variable for the actuation of a low-pressure pump in a fuel-supply system for an internal combustion engine having a high-pressure accumulator and a high-pressure pump, the high-pressure pump being operated in a full delivery mode, and the low-pressure pump being actuated so that a pressure provided by the low-pressure pump is reduced, and the setpoint value at which a dip in a delivery quantity of the high-pressure pump is detected is ascertained while taking into account an actuation value of the manipulated variable.

A method for ascertaining a correction value for a fuel metering of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine, in which fuel is injected from a high pressure accumulator into a combustion chamber with the aid of the fuel injector, a value which is representative for a static flow rate through the fuel injector being ascertained by way of ascertaining, during at least one injection process of the fuel injector, a ratio of a pressure difference occurring in the high pressure accumulator as a result of the injection process and an associated duration which is characteristic for the injection process, and the correction value being ascertained on the basis of a comparison of the representative value with a comparative value.

Method and device for ascertaining a correction value for a fuel injection quantity

A method is described for determining an opening delay of a fuel injector in which by activating a solenoid with the aid of an armature, a valve needle may be opened wherein a mathematical model is used which includes an activation duration of the solenoid as an input variable and a respective opening delay as an output variable.

Method for determining an opening delay of a fuel injector

A fuel injection apparatus has a high-pressure pump and a fuel-supply pump that delivers fuel from a fuel tank to the high-pressure pump. The high-pressure pump has a housing with an internal chamber that contains a drive unit for at least one pump element having a pump piston driven by the drive unit and delimiting a pump working chamber into which fuel is supplied via an inlet during an intake stroke and from which fuel is displaced via an outlet into the reservoir during a delivery stroke of the pump piston. The fuel-supply pump delivers fuel into the internal chamber via a connection that contains a check valve which opens toward the internal chamber of the housing and the inlet of the pump working chamber is connected to the internal chamber.

Fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine

A fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine, having two valve elements each having a hydraulic control surface acting in the closing direction and associated with a hydraulic control chamber. A control valve influences the pressure in the control chamber, and loading devices act on the valve elements in the opening direction. The valve elements react at different hydraulic opening pressures prevailing in the control chamber. The control valve is able to set at least three different pressure levels in the control chamber: all of the valve elements are closed at a comparatively high pressure level; one valve element is open at a medium pressure level; and all of the valve elements are open at a comparatively low pressure level.

A sensor module having a heating structure and a sensor element is described. The heating structure surrounds the sensor element so that heat dissipation through a frame is largely prevented. This yields a greater measuring accuracy of the sensor module. In particular, interfering influences due to a temperature dissipation through the mount frame are thereby prevented.

A micromechanical component includes a substrate and a cover layer deposited on the substrate, underneath the cover layer, a region of porous material being provided which mechanically supports and thermally insulates the cover layer. On the cover layer, a heating device is provided to heat the cover layer above the region; and above the region, a detector is provided to measure an electric property of a heated medium provided above the region on the cover layer.
