94 Method of operating a multi-cylinder diesel engine US198582 1994-02-18 US5417194A 1995-05-23 Ulrich Augustin
In a method of operating a multi-cylinder Diesel engine in which fuel delivered by an engine-driven high-pressure pump is supplied to a high-pressure line from where it is admitted through injectors to the associated cylinders by an engine speed synchronous pulse and the pressure in the fuel line is determined by a pressure sensor at a certain operating point present during fuel delivery and, upon failure of the synchronous pulse, a pressure signal generated at this operating point is used to start the injection sequence with the activation of one of the injectors, and the time spans between subsequent operating points in the injection sequence are determined and, if a deviation between the time spans exceeds a limit value, another injector is selected for the start of another injection sequence, which is used as a new start of the injection sequence until the time spans between the various operating points in the high-pressure fuel supply lines which are a measure for engine speed are essentially the same.
95 Variable displacement high pressure pump for fuel injection systems US268669 1994-06-30 US5404855A 1995-04-11 Bai-Mao Yen; Lester L. Peters; Julius P. Perr; Bryan W. Swank
A variable displacement high pressure pump having a plurality of high pressure pumping units which receive fuel from a low pressure fuel pump. A rotary cam-driven roller tappet, for producing pumping displacement of the pumping plunger of a respective pumping element, is connected to the pumping plunger by a separated link in a manner permitting the pumping plunger to float relative to the roller tappet during at least a portion of each pumping cycle. As a result, the capacity of the pumping chamber can be limited to an extent that is less than the full stroke achievable by the pumping plunger being retracted to the maximum extent which is permitted by the driving cam. In this way, the quantity of fuel to be pressurized and injected into the common rail does not have to be determined by a cutting-off of a spilling flow of excess metered fuel during the compression stroke of the pumping plunger, so that a low pressure solenoid valve can be used, in the case of time-stroke and time-pressure metering, and no solenoid is required to control metering in the case of pressure-time metering.

99 Nozzle system for engines US172402 1988-03-24 US4823756A 1989-04-25 Mariusz Ziejewski; Hans J. Goettler
A nozzle assembly having a premix chamber is provided for the injection ofremixed fuel and air or other gas into a diesel ingine cylinder. Air, or other gas, is supplied continuously to the premix chamber through a port connected to a high pressure reservoir. Fuel is delivered into the premix chamber through a typical poppet injection nozzle. The passage orientation into the premix chamber and the magnitude of the fuel and air pressure determine the mixing level. By pressure of the air, the compressed fuel-air mixture is injected, into the diesel engine cylinder. To remove fuel remaining in the injection cavity and injection orifices, an air injection follows the fuel-air mixture injection. After the air injection, the fuel for the next cycle is promptly injected into the premix chamber to allow about 700 crank angle degrees for premixing with air and vaporization in the operation of a four stroke engine.
100 Fuel injector US904378 1986-09-08 US4700678A 1987-10-20 George D. Elliott
An injector (10) for delivering fuel directly into an engine combustion chamber (11) in response to compression within the combustion chamber (11). The injector (10) has a housing (14) with an injector rod (22) slidably mounted within housing (14). Secured to the injector rod (22) is a primary piston (24), a metering spool (25), and a secondary piston (32). The metering spool (25) is located within a metering chamber (26) having a bypass chamber (50) in which is located two series of electrodes (60 and 62) which are connected to an electrical system which sequentially provides an electrical signal to the connector (56) as dictated by the needs of the engine. As the electrical signal is supplied to connector (56), an electro-rheological fluid (64) contained within the metering chamber (26) is converted from a liquid to a substantially solid condition, thereby limiting the travel of the metering spool (25) and the secondary piston (32). Thus, a predetermined, measured amount of fuel is delivered from the supply chamber (36) into the combustion chamber (11) of the engine. The device (10) is provided with a glow plug (68) for firing the mixture within the combustion chamber (11).
