Abstract (en)
An injection nozzle (10) for use in a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine having a combustion space, the injection nozzle (10) includes a first valve needle (16) which is engageable with a first valve needle seating (34) to control fuel delivery through one or more first outlets (36) provided in a nozzle body (12). The or each first outlet (36) defines a first cross sectional flow area for fuel. The nozzle further comprises a second valve needle (22), coaxial with the first valve needle and engageable with a second valve needle seating (40) to control fuel delivery through a plurality of second outlets (38) provided in the nozzle body (10). The plurality of second outlets are arranged in one or more localised groups (38) of second outlets (38a,38b,38c), with each of the second outlets (38) having a cross sectional flow area equal to the first cross sectional flow area of the first outlet (36). The nozzle is of the two-stage lift type to provide a variable fuel injection rate depending on whether one of the valve needles (16,22) is moved alone to open one of the outlets or localised groups of outlets only to provide a relatively low injection rate, or whether the other of the valve needles is moved also to provide an increased injection rate.
