A fuel injection system is proposed which serves to provide the most precise possible adaptation of the fuel-air mixture to operating conditions of the internal combustion engine. The fuel injection system includes metering valves, each of which is assigned one regulating valve, whose movable valve element can be exposed on the one hand to the fuel pressure downstream of the respective metering valve and on the other hand to the pressure in a control pressure line, which is limited on the one hand by an electro-fluid converter of the nozzle/bounce plate type and on the other hand by a control throttle. The electro-fluid converter is triggerable in accordance with operating characteristics of the engine. A pressure limitation valve is embodied as a diaphragm valve and serves to regulate the most precise possible system pressure in the engine and, when the engine is shut off, it serves to reduce the fuel pressure in the fuel injection system below the fuel pressure required for opening the injection valves and to block the return flow lines.
A fuel injection system for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines having externally-supplied ignition, said system further including metering valves disposed in a fuel supply line for metering a quantity of fuel in a predetermined ratio to the quantity of air aspirated by the engine, said metering being effected at a constant pressure difference variable in accordance with operating characteristics of said engine, said system further including a regulating valve having a movable valve element disposed downstream of each metering valve and arranged to regulate pressure differences at each metering valve, said regulating valve further arranged to be exposed on the one hand to fuel pressure downstream of the respective metering valve and on the other hand to the pressure in a control pressure line, the pressure in said line being further limited on the one hand by a control pressure valve and on the other hand by a control throttle, characterized in that an electro-fluid converter means of the nozzle/bounce plate type serves as said control pressure valve and is triggerable by an electronic control device in accordance with engine characteristics, said electro-fluid converter means dividing said control pressure line from said fuel supply line, and said control throttle limiting the pressure in said control pressure line downstream of said regulating valves.
