A pressure regulating valve for regulating the pressure in a common rail with a pistonlike valve member which is guided axially displaceably in a bore and acts in the closing direction on a closing element and presses it against a valve seat; the valve member forms an armature of an electromagnet to which electrical current can be supplied. The opening cross section of the inlet of the pressure regulating valve is designed such that the pressure regulating valve cannot be opened until beyond a predetermined minimum fuel pressure greater than or equal two 250 bar. In this way, even if the electromagnetic closing force fails, a minimum pressure at the valve outlet is generated and thus makes an injection event possible.

Pressure regulating valve for common rail fuel injection systems

A pressure regulating valve for regulating the pressure in a common rail, having a pistonlike valve member which is axially displaceably guided in a bore and acts on a closing element that can be pressed against a valve seat, and the valve member forms an armature of an electromagnet, to which current can be supplied. The minimal spacing between the armature and the valve housing is adjustable. In this way, the setting of the closing force of the valve can be done in the preassembled state.

Pressure regulating valve for common-rail fuel injection system

A pressure regulating valve, for regulating the pressure in a common rail, having a pistonlike valve member guided axially displaceably in a bore, which valve member acts on a closing element which can be pressed against a valve seat, and the valve member forms an armature of an electromagnet that can be supplied with current. The armature of the electromagnet is embodied as a permanent magnet, or the electromagnet surrounding the armature is connected to a permanent magnet likewise acting on the armature, so that even in the state without current, a magnetic force acts on the valve member. In this way, even in the event of a failure of the electromagnetic regulation, a pressure is generated at the valve outlet. In the state when current is supplied, the closing force of the valve can be regulated over the entire pressure range.
