Injection pump for fuel injection systems with control led injectors for i.c. engines

Claim 1

An injection pump for fuel injection systems with controlled injectors for diesel engines, comprising: a body carrying at least one cylinder-and-piston pumping unit driven by a shaft with eccentrics and connected through an intake valve and a delivery valve to inlet and outlet means for fuel, and a solenoid pressure-regulating valve interposed between the outlet means and the injectors and including a body having an inlet and a discharge outlet the communication of which is controlled by a valve obturator whose closure can be varied by means of an electromagnetic actuator, the solenoid pressure-regulating valve being fitted directly to the body of the pump, the discharge outlet of the solenoid pressure-regulating valve being connected to the fuel inlet means through a branch passage formed in the body of the pump and with which a diverter valve with a thermostatic control sensitive to the temperature of the fuel in the inlet means is operatively associated to interrupt the communication between the solenoid regulating valve and the discharge outlet and to open the communication between the solenoid regulating valve and the branch passage when the temperature of the fuel in the inlet means is below a predetermined threshold value.
