Abstract
A fuel injection unit for assembly to a cylinder head and for injecting first and second fuel to a cylinder of an internal combustion piston engine includes a first fuel feeding section, a second fuel feeding section, a pressure accumulator in the first fuel feeding section, and a flow fuse arranged in the first fuel feeding section between the pressure accumulator and a fuel injection valve of the first fuel feeding section. The fuel injection valve includes a fuel handling section and control section, and the control section is a hydraulic control section fluidly separated from the fuel handling section.
Claims15
A fuel injection unit for assembly to a cylinder head and for injecting first and second fuel to a cylinder of an internal combustion piston engine, the fuel injection unit comprising:
- a first fuel feeding section in the fuel injection unit for injecting a liquid alcohol fuel to the internal combustion engine, the first fuel feeding section having an injection valve,
- and a second fuel feeding section in the fuel injection unit, separate from the first fuel feeding section, for injecting a liquid fuel to the internal combustion engine, the second fuel feeding section having an injection needle,
- a pressure accumulator in the first fuel feeding section arranged within a body of the injection unit,
- a flow fuse arranged in the first fuel feeding section between the pressure accumulator and a fuel injection valve of the first fuel feeding section in the fuel injection unit, in which the fuel injection valve in the first fuel feeding section comprises a fuel handling section and a control section,
- the fuel handling section arranged to handle the introduction and metering the liquid alcohol fuel into the combustion chamber by at least one control needle in the fuel injection valve, and
- the control section being a hydraulic control section fluidly separated from the fuel handling section.
