Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (2) de limitation de débit d'une pompe (3), en particulier d'une pompe d'alimentation à étranglement côté aspiration pour des systèmes d'injection de combustible de moteurs à combustion interne, à auto-allumage et à compression d'air. Le dispositif présente un canal d'amenée (4) sur le côté aspiration de la pompe (3), relié, sur un côté de sortie (8), à une entrée (9) de pompe (3), un canal de décharge (6), pouvant être relié par son côté d'entrée (10) au moins indirectement à une sortie (12) de la pompe (3) et débouchant par son côté de sortie (13) en un point d'embouchure (14) latéralement dans le canal d'amenée (4), ainsi qu'une soupape régulatrice de pression (7) agencée dans le canal de décharge (6). En outre, un élément d'étranglement (5) est agencé dans le canal d'amenée (4) entre le point d'embouchure (14) et le côté de sortie (8) du canal d'amenée (4). Un débit de décharge du canal de décharge (6) provoque un écoulement transversal au point d'embouchure (14), surmonté d'un écoulement principal à travers le canal d'amenée (4). On obtient ainsi un écoulement latéral dans l'élément d'étranglement (5), ce qui permet de réduire le diamètre d'étranglement effectif. Une différence de pression donnée au niveau de la pompe (3) peut ainsi être réduite. En outre, l'invention concerne un ensemble pompe (1) muni de la pompe (3) et du dispositif (2) de limitation de débit.
