Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1152145A2] A hydraulically actuated fuel injector (14') includes an injector body (105) having an actuation fluid inlet (106) and a needle control chamber (118). A hydraulic means within the injector pressurizes fuel in the injector body (105). The hydraulic means includes an actuation fluid control valve (140) having a solenoid (130) and is movable to open and close the actuation fluid inlet (106). A needle valve member (160) includes a closing hydraulic surface (167) exposed to pressure in the needle control chamber(118). A needle control valve (136), which utilizes the same solenoid (130), is mounted in the injector body (105) and movable to open and close the needle control chamber (118) to a source of high pressure fluid (106). The slower response time of the actuation fluid control valve (140) allows for direct control of the fast responding needle valve (160) by a single fast acting two-way solenoid (130).
