Fuel injection system comprising a high-pressure variable-delivery pump

摘要

The injection system has a high-pressure pump (7) having at least one pumping element (18) operated reciprocatingly to perform an intake stroke and a delivery stroke. Each pumping element (18) has a corresponding intake valve (25) communicating with an intake conduit (10) supplied by a low-pressure pump (9). The intake conduit (10) is fitted with an on-off solenoid valve (27) controlled by a control unit (16) asynchronously with respect to the intake of each pumping element (18). And the control unit (16) may control the on-off solenoid valve (27) by means of frequency-modulated and/or duty-cycle-modulated control signals (A, C).
