Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
200 words
A fuel injection system including a rail supporting a charge delivery injector and a fuel nozzle, the rail forming a chamber receiving the charge delivery injector and a bore receiving the fuel nozzle, the bore and the chamber being interconnected, the rail further including a passage for supplying air to the chamber and the bore, the charge delivery injector having a charge delivery valve supported on a valve stem and having a spray tip with a bore surrounding the valve stem, the spray tip having a lateral window opening from the nozzle receiving bore into the spray tip bore, the nozzle being aligned to deliver fuel through the window into the spray tip bore, wherein upon opening of the charge delivery valve air flows from the air passage through the nozzle receiving bore, the window and the spray tip bore and a charge of fuel and air is delivered from the spray tip, and wherein the fuel nozzle has a tip projecting into the nozzle receiving bore whereby air is directed inwardly toward the sides of the nozzle tip and the resulting air flow pattern enhances delivery of fuel from the nozzle through the window into the spray tip bore.
