Fuel injector fuel conduits with multiple laminated fuel strips

摘要

A fuel injector has at least two generally parallel feed strips. Each of the feed strips is constructed from a single bonded together pair of lengthwise extending plates, each plate having a single row of widthwise spaced apart and lengthwise extending parallel grooves. The plates in each strip are bonded together such that opposing grooves in each of the plates are aligned forming internal fuel flow passages through the length of the strip from an inlet end to an outlet end of the strip. The inlet ends are spaced apart from each other and the outlet ends are spaced apart from each other. Each of the feed strips has one or more convolutions along a length of the strip and the feed strips are not bonded together along the convolutions. The feed strips may be spaced apart from each other or may be in contact with each other.
