In the embodiment shown, base segments 104 also comprises and is positioned at biasing member in fuel channel 128 130 spring of coil pipe stage clip (such as, be such as).Biasing member 130 contacts the first offset surface 132 of driver 108 and the second offset surface 134 of fuel channel 128.Like this, biasing member 130 promotes driver 108 towards nozzle segment 102, in actuator 112 and corresponding Flow valve 114 being maintained in its closed position.
Forcer housing 109 is attached to the first end cap 137 at base segments 104 place, and is attached to the second end cap 138 at nozzle segment 102 place.Housing 109 can attached (such as, the gas tight seal via welding, soldering, melting welding, structural adhesive seal etc.) to each in the first end cap 137 and the second end cap 138, escape from sparger 100 for preventing fuel.Such as the Sealing 140 of O shape circle also can be used to keep housing 109 to be connected with liquid-tight between the first end cap 137 and the second end cap 138.
According to the another aspect of illustrated embodiment, the end sections 144 being arranged in base segments 104 of driver 108 has the shape of conical shaped or frustum.More specifically, the end sections 144 of driver 108 has in conical shaped or the outer end face 146 of frustum shape.The outer end face 146 of driver 108 and the first end cap 137 to have the corresponding contact surface 148 mating profile or shape spaced apart.When Flow valve 114 be arranged in closed position against valve seat 122 and driver 108 be in loosen or non-actuated condition time, the spaced apart first distance D of contact surface 148 of outer end face 146 and end cap 137 1.In addition, in this position, contact surface 113 and the spaced apart second distance D of retainer 116 on actuator 112 of driver 108 2.Therefore, second distance D 2driver 108 is made to obtain momentum before the retainer 116 clashing into actuator 112.Such as, the first distance D 1that driver 108 makes Flow valve 114 move via actuator 112 thus opens total distance that Flow valve 114 advances.More specifically, the first distance D 1equal second distance D at least approx 2add the distance that when making Flow valve 114 and valve seat 122 spaced apart fully thus inject fuel in firing chamber, Flow valve 114 moves.In one embodiment, second distance D 2can at the first distance D 1about 10% to 40% between.But, in other embodiments, second distance D 2the first distance D can be less than 110% or be greater than the first distance D 140%.In other embodiment still, second distance D 2can eliminate from sparger 100, make when valve in the closed position middle time driver 108 contact actuator retainer 116.
In operation, fuel is introduced in the base segments 104 of sparger 100 by fuel filter 142 by fuel channel 136.When fuel flows through sparger 100, controller can exactly for forcer 106 provides power with actuator 108, driver 108 then makes actuator 112 move to promote Flow valve 114 (that is, making Flow valve 114 inwardly move) from valve seat 122.The driver 108 activated therefore, it is possible to overcome biasing member 130 and/or magnetic-attraction element 124 bias force with motion away from nozzle segment 102.In addition, illustrated embodiment by make driver 1308 can impact actuator retainer 116 with make valve 114 move before at motion second distance D 2while obtain sizable momentum and relevant kinetic energy, carry out the operation of permissible flow valve 114 under relatively high pressure reduction.Like this, driver 108 can overcome sizable pressure gradient and moves to make Flow valve 114.At elimination second distance D 2embodiment in, driver 108 directly or instantaneously can make actuator 112 move in response to the electric current in forcer 106.
Forcer 106 makes flow in fuel and the pressure, biasing member 130 and/or the magnetic-attraction element 124 that produce driver 108 can be promoted in response to the current interruptions of controller or forced to move to normally closed position, then makes Flow valve 114 be back to normally closed position.Such as, the distal portions of driver 108 can contact Flow valve 114 or additionally make Flow valve 114 move to closed position on valve seat 122.Apply electric current subsequently to forcer 106, driver 108 can be made to move with contact actuator 112, and again make valve 114 move or from valve seat 122 poppet valve 114 to inject fuel in firing chamber.
Except except fuel filter particle and chip, the filter 142 at base segments 104 place can also act as Catalytic processor, for preventing the monatomic or hydrogen ion of any hydrogen from passing into further in sparger 100, comprise pass into accommodating biasing member 130 fuel channel 128 in.This object is supported by following discovery, although be exposed to the monatomic and hydrogen ion of hydrogen (as run into during welding operation, in sour environment and in metal plating operation period) to make the aging and embrittlement of alloyed steel, these alloys can not become brittle by diatomic hydrogen (H2).Therefore, filter 142 can prevent biasing member 130 due to hydrogen embrittlement cause unfavorable aging.Following reaction equation F1 and F2 summarises and eliminates hydrogen ion and hydrogen atom by the catalysis of filter 142.
