Suction controlled pump for HEUI systems

摘要

A HEUI system uses a fixed displacement, piston pump to provide a generally constant pump flow of high pressure hydraulic fluid over the operating speed range of the pump to minimize parasitic power drains on the engine. The piston pump includes an orificing suction slot to vary the pump displacement over the operating speed of the pump. A throttling valve at the pump inlet may be provided to starve inlet fluid feed if reduced flow to the injectors is additionally required.
