A continuously operating fuel injection installation which includes an air-quantity measuring device in the suction pipe and a fuel-quantity distributor controlled thereby, is equipped for use with a multi-cylinder aircraft engine, with an auxiliary device that serves to achieve the best possible power output, fuel economy and flight safety; for that purpose, a height control pressure regulator is connected to the control pressure line leading to the fuel-quantity distributor in parallel to a warm-up regulator, which meters the control pressure and therewith the fuel admixture corresponding to the air density changing with temperature and pressure; by interconnecting a fixed throttle between the control pressure line and the fuel return line to the fuel tank, an emergency operation of the engine is assured in case of failure of both regulators.
A continuously operating fuel injection installation, comprising a suction pipe, air quantity measuring means for the through-flowing air quantity arranged in the suction pipe, a fuel quantity distributor means including a control piston means for distributing the fuel to injection valve means, said air quantity measuring means acting on one end face of the control piston means, the other end face of the control piston means being acted upon by a control pressure line whose pressure is controlled by a warm-up regulator means, a return line leading from said warm-up regulator means to a fuel tank, height control pressure regulator means connected between said control pressure line and said return line in parallel to the warm-up regulator means electromagnetic valve means operatively connected with the warm-up regulator means and the height control pressure regulator means, said electromagnetic valve means being disposed in the return line upstream of the warm-up regulator means and the height control pressure regulator means.
A continuously operating fuel injection installation, comprising a suction pipe, air quantity measuring means for the through-flowing air quantity arranged in the suction pipe, a fuel quantity distributor means including a control piston means for distributing the fuel to injection valve means, said air quantity measuring means acting on one end face of the control piston means, the other end face of the control piston means being acted upon by a control pressure line whose pressure is controlled by a warm-up regulator means, a return line leading from said warm-up regulator means to a fuel tank, height control pressure regulator means connected between said control pressure line and said return line in parallel to the warm-up regulator means, electromagnetic valve means operatively connected with the warm-up regulator means and the height control pressure regulator means, said electromagnetic valve means being connected downstream of the warm-up regulator means and the height control pressure regulator means.
A continuously operating fuel injection installation, comprising a suction pipe, air quantity measuring means for the through-flowing air quantity arranged in the suction pipe, a fuel quantity distributor means including a control piston means for distributing the fuel to injection valve means, said air quantity measuring means acting on one end face of the control piston means, the other end face of the control piston means being acted upon by a control pressure line whose pressure is controlled by a warm-up regulator means, a return line leading from said warm-up regulator means to a fuel tank, height control pressure regulator means connected between said control pressure line and said return line in parallel to the warm-up regulator means, said height control pressure regulator means including a diaphragm box means filled with a gas operable for changing the control pressure, said diaphragm box means of the height control pressure regulator means being arranged in the suction pipe upstream of the air quantity measuring means in order to measure directly the air condition prevailing thereat.
