Abstract (en)

[origin: US6938840B1] A fuel injector, in particular a high pressure injector for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition and mixture compression, is characterized in that a valve needle, which is movable axially along a longitudinal axis of the valve, has a specially designed valve closing section on its downstream end. To open and close the valve, the valve closing section works together with a fixed valve seat. Swirl-producing elements are arranged upstream from the valve seat while a flattened face running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve is provided on the downstream end of the valve closing section downstream from the valve seat.
