DRIVE
July 4, 2001
A fuel injection system, comprising a low pressure fuel delivery pump (78) with constant output in fluid communication with a low pressure fuel line; said fuel line connected to an electronic controlled fuel pressure regulator (80) and fuel pressure sensor (86); an electronic control module (81) to monitor and adjust fuel pressure in said low pressure fuel line to a desired fuel delivery pressure and supply fuel to an injector (10) at a feed-back controlled pressure; said injector having an injector body equipped with a fuel metering orifice (24) to supply fuel from the fuel line to a fuel cumulative chamber (28) within the injector, a reciprocating plunger (18) within said injector; said plunger equipped with a plunger passage (26); said plunger passage (26) opening at one end to said fuel cumulative chamber (28), and, upon reciprocating of the plunger within the injector, opening at its other end to said metering orifice (24); said injector further equipped with an electronically controlled solenoid control valve (30) to operate a fuel needle within said injector to inflict fuel into said engine cylinder; and a camshaft (68) at least one cam lobe to drive said injector plungers; said cam lobe having a base circle section (21) to meter fuel for injection; a rising section (23) for pressurizing fuel in the cumulative chamber (28); a zero velocity section (25) of sufficient length to accommodate a variety of fuel injection timing sequences, and a falling section (27).
