- An injector (figure 1) comprises an injector housing 1 and a valve group 2.
- the valve group 2 comprises a nozzle body 4 having a nozzle body recess 6, a needle 8, a spring 10, and a spring washer 12.
- the needle 8 is arranged movable in axial direction in the nozzle body recess 6.
- the spring 10 is arranged circumferential the needle 8 and in axial direction intermediate the nozzle body 4 and the spring washer 12.
- the spring 10 acts on the needle 8 via the spring washer 12 in direction away from the nozzle body 4.
- the injector is preferably suited for injecting fluid into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
- the nozzle body 4 may be made of two or more pieces.
- the actor 14 is arranged in an inner tube 15 of the injector housing 1.
- the actor 14 comprises a ground plate 16 and a top plate 18.
- the injector is arranged intermediate the spring washer 12 and a compensation device 13.
- the actor 14 acts on the needle 8 and on the spring washer 12 via the ground plate 16.
- the actor 14 acts on the compensation assembly 30 via the top plate 18.
- the compensation assembly 30 may be arranged intermediate the actor 14 and the spring washer 12 and the needle 8.
- a fluid which is in this embodiment preferably fuel, may flow from a connection 20 to the nozzle body 4 through a free volume between the inner tube 15 and the injector housing 1.
- the needle 8 and the nozzle body 4 prevent a fluid flow into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- the closing position of the needle 8 there is a nozzle formed between a tip of the needle 8 and a tip of the nozzle body 4 facing away from the actor 14.
- the actor 14 preferably is a piezoelectric actuator. If the actor 14 gets energized, the actor 14 expands its axial length. If the actor 14 gets de-energized, the axial length decreases.
- the injector especially the injector housing 1, expands its axial length.
- the injector housing 1 which is preferably made of stainless steel, expands more with the temperature than the actor 14.
- the compensation device 30 is arranged in order to compensate that thermal expansion of the injector housing 1.
- the compensation assembly 30 comprises a cup shaped compensation assembly body 32 having a recess 33 and a bottom portion 34 (figure 2).
- the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32 is sealed by a first membrane 35.
- a piston 36 is arranged movable in axial direction in the recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32.
- the piston 36 comprises a piston head 40 and, preferably, a piston rod 38. In case, the piston rod 38 protrudes through a recess of the first membrane 35.
- the piston head 40 separates the recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32 in a first fluid chamber 44 and a second fluid chamber 46.
- the piston head 40 comprises a clearance fit to the wall of the recess 33.
- the clearance fit preferably is formed in such a way that a fluid in the first or the second fluid chamber 44, 46 may flow to the second or, respectively, the first fluid chamber 46, 44.
- the fluid flow from the first to the second fluid chamber 44, 46 or vice versa in that way may be throttled by the clearance fit.
- the first and the second fluid chamber 44, 46 are filled with fluid, preferably oil.
- the fluid in the first and the second fluid chamber 44, 46 is pressurized.
- the fluid may be pressurized by a compensation assembly spring which is arranged in such a way that the compensation assembly spring acts on the first membrane 35.
- the first side 37 of the piston 36 has a larger surface than the second side 39 of the piston 39 because of the piston rod 38. The pressure acting on the larger surface of the first side 37 of the piston 36 causes a bigger force on the piston 36 then the pressure acting on the second side 39 of the piston 36.
- the compensation assembly 30 is arranged in the injector, it is arranged in such a way that the compensation assembly 30 is preloaded. So, the actor 14 never loses contact to the piston rod 38. If the injector housing 1 expands with the changing temperature, the force on the piston 36 is decreasing. The fluid presses the piston 36 away from the bottom portion 34. So the thermal expansion of the injector housing 1 is compensated.
- the actor 14 may expand in a few microseconds. This duration is too short for the fluid to pass the clearance fit between the piston 36 and the recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32. So in that duration the piston 36 stays nearly in its position and the actor 14 has a nearly solid base to act on so that the ground plate 16 of the actor 14 acts on the needle 8 and on the spring washer 12 in order to move the needle 8 out of its closing position.
- a first compensation element 41 which may be arranged in a compensation element recess 48 of the piston 36 gets deformed elastically. By its elastic deformation, the first compensation element 41 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in the second fluid chamber 46 and because of the clearance fit between the piston 36 and the recess 33, it compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in the first fluid chamber 44.
- a fluid recess 50 (figure 3) in the piston 36.
- the fluid recess 50 extends from the first fluid chamber 44 to the second fluid chamber 46.
- the fluid recess 50 of the piston 36 may be formed in such a way that the fluid which passes the fluid recess 50 gets throttled.
- the second compensation element 42 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid of the compensation assembly 30 in the same manner as the first compensation element 41.
- the fluid recess 50 and the clearance fit between the piston 36 and the fluid recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32 enable a hydraulic coupling of the first and the second fluid chamber 44, 46.
- first check valve 54 in such a way that the fluid which passes the fluid recess 50 of the piston 36 has to pass the first check valve 54.
- the first check valve 54 may be of a sheet-like check valve type.
- the sheet-like check valve may be made of a thin metal sheet covering the fluid recess 50 of the piston 36 and being fixed only at one side of the fluid recess 50 of the piston 36 comprising a given flexibility. If the piston 36 moves very slowly, for example because of the thermal expansion of the injector housing 1, there is nearly the same pressure on both sides of the sheet-like check valve. So, the fluid may pass the sheet-like check valve.
- the sheet-like check valve gets pressed against the piston 36 next to the fluid recess 50 of the piston 36 because of the fluid pressure in the first fluid chamber 44. In that way, the fluid recess 50 gets sealed by the sheet-like check valve. So the piston 36 is not able to move further towards the bottom portion 34.
- the compensation assembly 30 reacts like a stiff body. So, the actor 14 is able to act on the needle 8 via its ground plate 16.
- a third compensation element 43 (figure 4) in a compensation element recess 49 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32.
- the compensation element recess 49 is formed like a groove circumferential the wall of the recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32.
- the third compensation element 43 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in the first and the second fluid chamber 44, 46 in the same manner as the first and/or the second compensation element 41, 42.
- the bottom portion 34 may comprise a fluid recess 56 (figure 5) of the bottom portion 34 which extends from the first side of the bottom portion 51 to the second side of the bottom portion 53. Then, the second side of the bottom portion 53 preferably is covered by the second membrane 57 forming a third fluid chamber 55 between the second membrane 57 and the second side of the bottom portion 53.
- the compensation device spring may be arranged in this embodiment in such a way that the compensation device spring acts on the second membrane 57.
- the fluid recess 56 of the bottom portion 34 may be formed in such a way that the fluid which passes the fluid recess 56 of the bottom portion 34 is throttled by passing the fluid recess 56 of the bottom portion 34.
- a second throttle arranged in the fluid recess 56 of the bottom portion 34 and/or a control valve and/or a second check valve 58.
- the second check valve 58 for example comprises two sheet-like pieces of metal which are fixed on one side of the wall of the fluid recess 56 of the bottom portion 34 and which are pressed together on the other side of the sheet-like check valve.
- the second check valve alternatively comprises only one sheet-like piece of metal.
- the control valve in this context is a valve which enables a direct controlling of the valve, for example an electric valve which could be controlled via a controlling device.
- the compensation assembly 30 reacts like a stiff body and the force caused by the expansion of the actor 14 is transferred to the needle 8.
- the needle 8 is forced outside of its closing position and enables the fluid flow into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- the first compensation element 41 in the compensation element recess 48 of the piston 36.
- a fluid supply 64 for example, arranged in the bottom portion 34 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32.
- the fluid supply 64 preferably gets sealed by a sealing ball 62.

- a fourth compensation element 61 (figure 6) in a compensation element recess 59 of the bottom portion 34 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32.
- the control valve 66 may be arranged. If the control valve is normally open, the fluid can flow from the first to the third fluid chamber 44, 55 in order to compensate, for example, the thermal expansion of the injector housing 1. If the actor 14 gets energized, the control valve 66 has to be closed simultaneously. Then, the piston 36 is not able to move towards the bottom portion 34 and the actor 14 is able to open the needle 8.
- the compensation assembly 30 does not comprise the second fluid chamber 46 (figure 7).
- the recess 33 of the cup shaped compensation assembly body 32 then preferably is sealed by a sealing 68 at the piston 36.

DE 102 45 109 A1 discloses an injector, especially for injecting fuel comprising a piezoelectric actuator. A shell of a body of the piezoelectric actuator is surrounded by a wall of a recess of an injector housing comprising a clearance fit to the wall of the recess of the injector housing. Further, the shell is cooled by a direct contact to an inert, electrically non-conductible thermally coupling fluid. Further, the injector housing comprises a fluid chamber which is nearly completely filled with a fluid. The rest volume of the fluid chamber which is not filled with the fluid has at least such a size that the rest volume is able to compensate a thermal expansion of the thermally coupling fluid at the highest working temperature of the actuator body. - The object of the invention is to create a compensation assembly for an injector which enables a precise compensation of an axial expansion of the injector in a simple way.
- The object of the invention is achieved by the features of the
independent claims - The invention is distinguished concerning a first aspect of the invention by a compensation assembly for an injector. The compensation assembly comprises a cup shaped compensation assembly body having a bottom portion and a recess. A piston is arranged in the recess of the cup shaped compensation assembly body movable in axial direction. A first fluid chamber is bordered in axial direction by a first side of the piston and by the bottom portion of the cup shaped compensation assembly body. A second fluid chamber is bordered in axial direction by a first membrane and by a second side of the piston facing away from the first side of the piston. A fluid path extends from the first to the second fluid chamber. An elastic compensation device is checklessly hydraulically coupled to the second fluid chamber.
- If the compensation assembly is arranged in an injector coupling an actor of the injector with a wall of the injector or with a needle of the injector, the compensation assembly enables a compensation of a thermal expansion of the injector housing relative to the actor. If a fluid in the compensation assembly expands with increasing temperature, the elastic compensation device is deformed elastically. The elastic deformation of the elastic compensation device in that way compensates the increasing need for volume of the fluid in the compensation assembly. This contributes to a precise compensation of a thermal expansion of the injector, especially of the injector housing and so contributes to a precise dosing of fluid by the injector.

- In a further advantageous embodiment of the first aspect of the invention, the fluid path comprises a clearance fit between the piston and the wall of the recess of the cup shaped compensation assembly body. This enables in a simple way a hydraulic connection between the first and the second fluid chamber without forming a recess in the piston. If the piston in the recess of the cup shaped compensation assembly body comprises the clearance fit, this may be used for throttling the fluid while passing the space between the piston and the recess.
- In a further advantageous embodiment of the first aspect of the invention, the fluid path comprises a fluid recess of the piston. The compensation assembly comprises a first throttle and/or a first control valve and/or a first check valve being arranged in such a way that the fluid which passes the fluid recess of the piston has to pass the first throttle and/or, respectively, the first control valve and/or, respectively, the first check valve.

This contributes to a proper elastic deformation-ability of the elastic compensation device and/or of the elastic compensation elements.
- The invention is distinguished concerning a second aspect of the invention by the compensation assembly for the injector. The compensation assembly comprises the cup shaped compensation assembly body having the bottom portion and the recess. The piston is arranged in the recess of the cup shaped compensation assembly body movable in axial direction. The first fluid chamber is bordered in axial direction by the first side of the piston and the first side of the bottom portion of the cup shaped compensation assembly body. A third fluid chamber is bordered in axial direction by a second membrane and by a second side of the bottom portion facing away from the first side of the bottom portion.

The elastic compensation device is checklessly hydraulically coupled to the third fluid chamber. If a fluid in the compensation assembly expands with increasing temperature, the elastic compensation device is deformed elastically. The elastic deformation of the elastic compensation device in that way compensates the increasing need for volume of the fluid in the compensation assembly. This contributes to a precise compensation of a thermal expansion of the injector, especially of the injector housing and so contributes to a precise dosing of fluid by the injector.
- In an advantageous embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the compensation assembly comprises the second fluid chamber which is bordered in axial direction by the first membrane and by the second side of the piston facing away from the first side of the piston. The fluid path extends from the first to the second fluid chamber. The elastic compensation device is checklessly hydraulically coupled to the second fluid chamber. The combination of the second and the third fluid chamber may contribute to a proper compensation of the thermal expansion of the injector.
- In a further advantageous embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the elastic compensation device comprises a fourth compensation element which is arranged in the third fluid chamber. This enables in a simple way a checkless hydraulic coupling to the third fluid chamber without modification of the compensation assembly. In a further advantageous embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the elastic compensation device comprises a fifth compensation element which is arranged in a compensation element recess of the bottom portion and which is checklessly hydraulically coupled to the third fluid chamber. This enables in a simple way a checkless hydraulic coupling of the elastic compensation device and the third fluid chamber.
- In a further advantageous embodiment of the second aspect of the invention, the elastic compensation device and/or the first and/or the second and/or the third and/or the fourth and/or the fifth elastic compensation element comprises rubber and/or polychloroprene and/or silicon. This contributes to a proper elastic deformation-ability of the elastic compensation device and/or of the elastic compensation elements.

- Elements with the same design and function that appear in the different illustrations are identified by the same reference character.
- An injector (figure 1) comprises an
injector housing 1 and avalve group 2. Thevalve group 2 comprises anozzle body 4 having a nozzle body recess 6, aneedle 8, aspring 10, and aspring washer 12. Theneedle 8 is arranged movable in axial direction in the nozzle body recess 6. Thespring 10 is arranged circumferential theneedle 8 and in axial direction intermediate thenozzle body 4 and thespring washer 12. Thespring 10 acts on theneedle 8 via thespring washer 12 in direction away from thenozzle body 4. The injector is preferably suited for injecting fluid into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. In an alternative embodiment, thenozzle body 4 may be made of two or more pieces. - The
actor 14 is arranged in aninner tube 15 of theinjector housing 1. Theactor 14 comprises aground plate 16 and atop plate 18. The injector is arranged intermediate thespring washer 12 and a compensation device 13. Theactor 14 acts on theneedle 8 and on thespring washer 12 via theground plate 16. Theactor 14 acts on thecompensation assembly 30 via thetop plate 18. In an alternative embodiment, thecompensation assembly 30 may be arranged intermediate theactor 14 and thespring washer 12 and theneedle 8. A fluid, which is in this embodiment preferably fuel, may flow from aconnection 20 to thenozzle body 4 through a free volume between theinner tube 15 and theinjector housing 1. - In a closing position of the
needle 8, theneedle 8 and thenozzle body 4 prevent a fluid flow into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. Outside of the closing position of theneedle 8, there is a nozzle formed between a tip of theneedle 8 and a tip of thenozzle body 4 facing away from theactor 14. Whether theneedle 8 is in its closing position or not depends on a force balance between a first force acting on theneedle 8 because of thespring 10 and a second force acting on theneedle 8 because of theactor 14. Theactor 14 preferably is a piezoelectric actuator. If theactor 14 gets energized, theactor 14 expands its axial length. If theactor 14 gets de-energized, the axial length decreases. - If the temperature of the injector increases while the operation of the injector, the injector, especially the
injector housing 1, expands its axial length. In general, theinjector housing 1, which is preferably made of stainless steel, expands more with the temperature than theactor 14. Thecompensation device 30 is arranged in order to compensate that thermal expansion of theinjector housing 1. - The
compensation assembly 30 comprises a cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32 having arecess 33 and a bottom portion 34 (figure 2). The cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32 is sealed by afirst membrane 35. Apiston 36 is arranged movable in axial direction in therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. Thepiston 36 comprises apiston head 40 and, preferably, apiston rod 38. In case, thepiston rod 38 protrudes through a recess of thefirst membrane 35. Thepiston head 40 separates therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32 in afirst fluid chamber 44 and asecond fluid chamber 46. Thepiston head 40 comprises a clearance fit to the wall of therecess 33. The clearance fit preferably is formed in such a way that a fluid in the first or thesecond fluid chamber first fluid chamber second fluid chamber - During the operation of the
compensation assembly 30, the first and thesecond fluid chamber second fluid chamber first membrane 35. Normally, there is the same pressure of the fluid in thefirst fluid chamber 44 and thesecond fluid chamber 46 because of the clearance fit. Thefirst side 37 of thepiston 36 has a larger surface than thesecond side 39 of thepiston 39 because of thepiston rod 38. The pressure acting on the larger surface of thefirst side 37 of thepiston 36 causes a bigger force on thepiston 36 then the pressure acting on thesecond side 39 of thepiston 36. So, if there is no force acting on thecompensation device 30 from the outside of thecompensation assembly 30, thepiston 36 is pressed away from thebottom portion 34. In that way thepiston rod 38 never loses contact to theactor 14 and thebottom portion 34 never loses contact to a wall of theconnection 20. - If the
compensation assembly 30 is arranged in the injector, it is arranged in such a way that thecompensation assembly 30 is preloaded. So, theactor 14 never loses contact to thepiston rod 38. If theinjector housing 1 expands with the changing temperature, the force on thepiston 36 is decreasing. The fluid presses thepiston 36 away from thebottom portion 34. So the thermal expansion of theinjector housing 1 is compensated. - If the
actor 14 gets energized, it may expands in a few microseconds. This duration is too short for the fluid to pass the clearance fit between thepiston 36 and therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. So in that duration thepiston 36 stays nearly in its position and theactor 14 has a nearly solid base to act on so that theground plate 16 of theactor 14 acts on theneedle 8 and on thespring washer 12 in order to move theneedle 8 out of its closing position. - If the fluid in the first and/or the
second fluid chamber first compensation element 41 which may be arranged in acompensation element recess 48 of thepiston 36 gets deformed elastically. By its elastic deformation, thefirst compensation element 41 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in thesecond fluid chamber 46 and because of the clearance fit between thepiston 36 and therecess 33, it compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in thefirst fluid chamber 44. - In order to increase the fluid exchange between the
first fluid chamber 44 and thesecond fluid chamber 46, there may be a fluid recess 50 (figure 3) in thepiston 36. Thefluid recess 50 extends from thefirst fluid chamber 44 to thesecond fluid chamber 46. Thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36 may be formed in such a way that the fluid which passes thefluid recess 50 gets throttled. Preferably, there is athrottle 52 formed and arranged in thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36. Additionally or alternatively to thefirst compensation element 41, there may be asecond compensation element 42 arranged in thesecond fluid chamber 46. Thesecond compensation element 42 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid of thecompensation assembly 30 in the same manner as thefirst compensation element 41. Thefluid recess 50 and the clearance fit between thepiston 36 and thefluid recess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32 enable a hydraulic coupling of the first and thesecond fluid chamber - Alternatively or additionally to the
first throttle 52, there may be arranged afirst check valve 54 in such a way that the fluid which passes thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36 has to pass thefirst check valve 54. Thefirst check valve 54 may be of a sheet-like check valve type. The sheet-like check valve may be made of a thin metal sheet covering thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36 and being fixed only at one side of thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36 comprising a given flexibility. If thepiston 36 moves very slowly, for example because of the thermal expansion of theinjector housing 1, there is nearly the same pressure on both sides of the sheet-like check valve. So, the fluid may pass the sheet-like check valve. If thepiston 36 moves fast towards thebottom portion 34 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32, the sheet-like check valve gets pressed against thepiston 36 next to thefluid recess 50 of thepiston 36 because of the fluid pressure in thefirst fluid chamber 44. In that way, thefluid recess 50 gets sealed by the sheet-like check valve. So thepiston 36 is not able to move further towards thebottom portion 34. Thecompensation assembly 30 reacts like a stiff body. So, theactor 14 is able to act on theneedle 8 via itsground plate 16. - Alternatively or additionally to the first and/or the
second compensation element compensation element recess 49 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. Thecompensation element recess 49 is formed like a groove circumferential the wall of therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. Thethird compensation element 43 compensates the thermal expansion of the fluid in the first and thesecond fluid chamber second compensation element - The
bottom portion 34 may comprise a fluid recess 56 (figure 5) of thebottom portion 34 which extends from the first side of thebottom portion 51 to the second side of thebottom portion 53. Then, the second side of thebottom portion 53 preferably is covered by thesecond membrane 57 forming a thirdfluid chamber 55 between thesecond membrane 57 and the second side of thebottom portion 53. The compensation device spring may be arranged in this embodiment in such a way that the compensation device spring acts on thesecond membrane 57. Thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34 may be formed in such a way that the fluid which passes thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34 is throttled by passing thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34. Preferably, there is a second throttle arranged in thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34 and/or a control valve and/or asecond check valve 58. Thesecond check valve 58 for example comprises two sheet-like pieces of metal which are fixed on one side of the wall of thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34 and which are pressed together on the other side of the sheet-like check valve. The second check valve alternatively comprises only one sheet-like piece of metal. The control valve in this context is a valve which enables a direct controlling of the valve, for example an electric valve which could be controlled via a controlling device. - If a force acts on the
piston 36, especially on thepiston rod 38 towards thebottom portion 34, the fluid of thefirst fluid chamber 44 is pressed into thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34. If the force on thepiston 36 changes very slowly, there is nearly the same pressure on both sides of thesecond check valve 58. So the fluid can flow through thesecond check valve 58 in little amounts. So the piston is able to move slowly and is able to compensate the thermal expansion of theinjector housing 1. Additionally, there may be a fluid flow through the clearance fit of thepiston 36 to the wall of therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. - If the force on the
piston 36 changes fast, the fluid presses against thesecond check valve 58 towards thesecond membrane 57, the two sheet-like metals are pressed together and so thecheck valve 58 gets closed and the pressure in thefirst fluid chamber 44 is increasing. Thepiston 36 is not able to move towards thebottom portion 34 because of the pressure of the fluid in thefirst fluid chamber 44. In this case thecompensation assembly 30 reacts like a stiff body and the force caused by the expansion of theactor 14 is transferred to theneedle 8. Theneedle 8 is forced outside of its closing position and enables the fluid flow into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. - Because of the clearance fit between the
piston 36 and therecess 33, it is possible to arrange thefirst compensation element 41 in thecompensation element recess 48 of thepiston 36. For filling the fluid into thecompensation assembly 30, there is afluid supply 64, for example, arranged in thebottom portion 34 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. Thefluid supply 64 preferably gets sealed by a sealingball 62. Preferably, in the injector a spring acts on the first and/or thesecond membrane - Additionally or alternatively there may be arranged a fourth compensation element 61 (figure 6) in a
compensation element recess 59 of thebottom portion 34 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32. Additionally or alternatively to the second throttle or thesecond check valve 58, there may be arranged thecontrol valve 66. If the control valve is normally open, the fluid can flow from the first to the thirdfluid chamber injector housing 1. If theactor 14 gets energized, thecontrol valve 66 has to be closed simultaneously. Then, thepiston 36 is not able to move towards thebottom portion 34 and theactor 14 is able to open theneedle 8. - In a further alternative embodiment, the
compensation assembly 30 does not comprise the second fluid chamber 46 (figure 7). Therecess 33 of the cup shapedcompensation assembly body 32 then preferably is sealed by a sealing 68 at thepiston 36. Alternatively or additionally, thepiston 36 may not comprise thepiston rod 33 and acts directly on the top plate of theactor 40. Further, thecheck valve 58 may be of a sheet-like type covering thefluid recess 56 of thebottom portion 34. Further, a fifth compensation element may be arranged directly in the thirdfluid chamber 55. - The invention is not restricted by the explained embodiments. For example, the
second compensation element 42 may comprise a ring shapedcircumferential piston rod 38. Further, the alternative embodiments may be combined. For example, there may bemore compensation elements
