- the associated increase in pressure in the pressure line 12 can immediately with a full opening the inlet opening 42a are met.
- Pressure relief is much faster than throttling the fuel flow at the pump would be that at the moment of gas removal continues to deliver fuel to the pressure line at a high delivery rate.
- the fuel inflow can be influenced
- Throttle device are basically dispensed with, typically However, the present invention is a supplement to a volume flow control.
- the compensator 54 is particularly regarding its dimensions and its material depending on the thermal expansion behavior of the housing 16 and the piezoelectric Element 22 executed such that axial dimensional changes of the housing 16 and the piezoelectric element 22 compensated become.
- the relative location between the pressure line 12 and the piezoelectric Element 22 - and thus the axial position of the pressure body 34 - is therefore independent of temperature fluctuations, so that Temperature-induced dimensional changes of the housing 16 are not too Lead pressure changes in the pressure line 12.
