Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006074842A1] Disclosed is an injector (7, 9, 11, 13) comprising a valve pin (57) whose position is adjustable in accordance with the pressure prevailing in a control chamber (55) and which blocks a fluid flow through at least one injection port (61) in a closed position while otherwise unblocking said fluid flow. The injector further comprises a control chamber (55) that is hydraulically coupled to a high-pressure fluid reservoir (31), a piezo actuator (75), and a control valve (43) which hydraulically disconnects the control chamber (55) from a low-pressure chamber (49) in the closed position thereof while hydraulically coupling the control chamber (55) to the low-pressure chamber (49) outside the closed position, the piezo actuator acting upon said control valve (43). A combination of a triggering period (T_CTRL) for the piezo actuator (75) and electric power (E) that is to be fed to the piezo actuator (75) is varied from a predefined initial combination to a target combination in which a pressure curve (P_V) is detected that is characteristic of a movement of the control valve (43) out of the closed position thereof without fluid being proportioned through the injection port (61).
