Abstract
An injector is provided to inject an aqueous urea solution into an exhaust line. The injector comprises a single fluid inlet, an injection passage, fluidly connecting the inlet to the injection port, and a shut-off device for the injection port. The shut-off device further comprises an actuator that is configured to selectively move a shutter between open and closed positions. A cooling passage is fluidly connected to the injection passage and is configured to cool the actuator. A fluid pressure regulator is interposed in the cooling passage.
Claims12
An injector of fluid in an exhaust pipe, the fluid being an aqueous urea solution, the injector comprising:
- a single fluid inlet;
- a fluid outlet;
- an injection port to inject the fluid into the exhaust pipe;
- an injection passage, fluidly connecting the single fluid inlet to the injection port;
- a shut-off device comprising a shutter, movable between an open position authorizing circulation of fluid through the injection port and a closed position prohibiting the circulation of fluid through the injection port, and an actuator, configured to selectively move the shutter between the open and closed positions the actuator having a magnetic coil is arranged around an intermediate section of the injection passage extending along a central axis;
- an outer shell, the shut-off device and the intermediate section of the injection passage being housed inside the outer shell;
- a cooling passage, having an upstream portion fluidly branched to the injection passage and a downstream portion fluidly connected to the fluid outlet, the cooling passage being configured so that fluid flow along the cooling passage cools the actuator of the shut-off device the cooling passage comprising a cooling portion arranged around the magnetic coil such that the magnetic coil is cooled by circulation of fluid;
- and
- a fluid pressure regulator interposed in the cooling passage.
