摘要 |
A fuel system is disclosed in which high-pressure fuel pump with a prefeed pump is proposed, in which the fuel quantity pumped by the prefeed pump is distributed for cooling and lubrication purposes, via a continuously adjustable multiposition valve, to the pump elements of the high-pressure fuel pump or to the low-pressure region of the high-pressure fuel pump. The multiposition valve is controlled by the control unit of the engine. An advantageous feature of the high-pressure fuel pump of the invention is that depending on the operating state of the engine and of the high-pressure fuel pump, an optimal distribution of the fuel quantity pumped by the prefeed pump can always be accomplished. Moreover, the energy demand by the prefeed pump is reduced and its service life is lengthened.
