Abstract
Abstract A method of determination of a supply start in an injection pump, includes the steps of blocking an outlet of a pump element, for example, by a valve, supplying a testing medium into the pump element, and determining a supply start upon a pressure increase in the pump element when an upper edge of a pump piston closes a fuel inlet opening of the pump element.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of determination of a supply start in an injection pump, particularly Diesel injection pump, comprising the steps of blocking an outlet of a pump element; supplying a testing volume into the pump element; and determining a supply start upon a pressure increase in the pump element when an upper edge of a pump piston closes a fuel inlet opening of the pump element.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
65 words
A method of determination of a supply start in an injection pump, particularly Diesel injection pump, comprising the steps of blocking an outlet of a pump element; supplying a testing volume into the pump element; and determining a supply start upon a pressure increase in the pump element when an upper edge of a pump piston closes a fuel inlet opening of the pump element.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said blocking step includes blocking the outlet of the pump element by a valve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said determining step includes determining the pressure increase by a pressure sensor arranged in the outlet.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said determining step includes converting the determined pressure by an evaluating electronic device into a trigger signal so as to determine thereby an angular position of a cam shaft for the pump piston.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said supplying step includes supplying a testing medium by a hydraulic aggregate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein said supplying step includes supplying a fuel replacement as the testing medium.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method as defined in claim 1; and further comprising the step of retaining the rotary speed of a cam shaft for the pump piston at a lower level.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method as defined in claim 7, wherein said retaining step includes retaining the rotary speed of the cam shaft lower than 20 revolutions per minute.
