Abstract (en)

An electrically controlled fuel injector for large diesel engines, comprising: - a body (22) having a delivery chamber (24) connected to a fuel supply line (26) and provided with a conical valve seat (28); - a needle (30) extending through said delivery chamber (24) and having a conical sealing surface (32) cooperating with said valve seat (28), the needle (30) being movable along a longitudinal axis (A) between a closed position wherein said conical sealing surface (32) abuts against said conical valve seat (28) and an open position wherein said conical sealing surface (32) is spaced apart from said conical valve seat (28), wherein the hydraulic pressure into said delivery chamber (24) generates a first hydraulic force pushing the needle (30) towards its open position; - a control chamber (44) connected to said fuel supply line (26) through an inlet flow restrictor (48) and connected to a discharge line (50) through an outlet flow restrictor (52), wherein the hydraulic pressure into said control chamber (44) generates a second hydraulic force pushing the needle (30) towards its closed position; - an electrically-operated control valve (54) for selectively opening and closing hydraulic communication between said control chamber (44) and a low pressure volume (14); wherein said inlet flow restrictor (48) includes a variable choking section (60), movable between a choked position corresponding to a fully closed position of the needle (30) an un-choked position corresponding to an initial opening of the needle (30).
