Abstract
An inlet throttle valve for supplying liquid to a high-pressure pump has a fully open start position and an operating range where flow through the valve is determined by a pressure balance of a valving member independent of the pressure of oil supplied to the inlet throttle valve. The valve includes a hydraulic stop limiting closing movement of the valving member. The valve may be used to flow low-pressure oil to a high-pressure pump for supplying high-pressure oil to HEUI injectors or other components of an internal combustion engine.
