Pump system for injection of fuel into the combustion chambers of internal combustion engines

摘要

A pump system for injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a diesel engine has a main pump element which has a plunger for delivery of primary fuel from a first inlet into the chamber at the outlet end of an injection nozzle by way of a conduit including a pipe and a bore in the nozzle. The conduit can further receive one or more additional fuels from one or more additional pump elements which admit additional fuel or fuels at a pressure above the pressure in the conduit during intervals between deliveries of primary fuel but below the pressure which is required to open the nozzle for expulsion of fuel into the combustion chamber. One of the fuels can consist of or can contain a vegetable oil. The main pump element advances the additional fuel stepwise toward the outlet opening of the nozzle.
