  • the branch lines 40, 41 lead to injectors 42, 43.
  • the injector 42 is in operation, as indicated by dashed lines, which are intended to represent sprays of injected fuel.
  • damping units 45, 46 according to the invention are arranged upstream of the injectors 42, 43.
  • the damping units can be used as simple, preferably stacked or multi-layer damping elements, such as the damping element according to FIG. 4 or 6 or 8th or as a multi-stage, in particular two-stage damping unit according to the damping unit 21 according to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 be educated.
  • the arrangement of the damping units 45, 46 leads as well as an integration of a damping element in the injector, as in the embodiment according to FIG. 7 is provided with the damping element 29, to the fact that pulsations that are triggered by an injector, can be largely decoupled from the overall system.
  • the injector 42 is active, ie it releases corresponding Pulsations, however, are largely attenuated in the damping unit 45, so that the entire system located upstream of the damping unit 45 in the flow direction is largely decoupled from the pulsations of the injector 42.
  • This means that in the temporal sequence of the injector 43 can be operated without being affected by previously caused by the injector 42 pulsations.
  • a more accurate metering of fuel in particular with regard to the injection pressure and the metered amount is possible.
  • damping elements and damping arrangements possible.
  • a construction according to FIG. 3 can also be achieved with flexible fibers, both variants with fibers of solid material and hollow fibers are conceivable. These are in FIG. 9 further variants shown.
  • FIG. 9 Variants shown, for example, have individual openings 28 or capillary 28 or channels 28, which can also be joined together to capillary bundles.
  • the capillary is produced by mechanical processing (eg drilling, erosion, lasers), by forming (for example, large tubes are rolled and drawn until they reach the desired diameter), are urformed (eg production by casting, injection molding) or built (Eg by layers of several perforated plates / sheets).
  • the individual capillaries 28 can be connected to one another to form a bundle by being welded or glued to the contact surfaces ( FIG. 9 a) or with a fuel-resistant material 99 (Ex: PPE, Lauramid) are cast ( FIG. 9 b) ,
  • a carrier sleeve 12 or tube 12 (FIG. FIG. 9c) in which the individual capillary 28 or tubes 28 are introduced, can also be used.
  • the volume can be adjusted in special cases by a spacer sleeve.
  • capillaries 28 For the generation of capillaries 28 or
  • Kapillarbündeln a bundle of solid tubes or wire 98 or the like ( FIG. 9 d) be used.
  • holes 28 can be etched in plates 27 to produce perforated plates, which then stacked on each other in an advantageous manner, possibly again give a capillary bundle.
  • long channels / lines can be etched along the surface of a plate. If you place two of these plates with the etched side together, you will also get capillaries. Thus, various combinations of the production methods with one another are also conceivable for the production of capillaries.
  • capillaries can be generated by nanotubes and microstructures.
  • the advantageous diameter of a pore or capillary is 10 .mu.m-40 .mu.m in order to advantageously avoid contamination or clogging and to achieve good damping.
  • both similar, preferably (differently) stacked and different damping elements e.g. Fabric combined with grid and / or tube bundles or perforated sheets, combined in one device.
  • FIG. 10 something illustrated.
  • FIG. 10a shows a Durckverlauf without damping elements and FIG. 10b with damping.
  • FIG. 10a The fast closing of the injector after the injection process generates pressure pulsations ( FIG. 10a ). These are transmitted by the fluid in the rail or pipe. If several injectors are connected to the same line or rail, they also experience the pressure pulsations from the closing injector. The generated pressure pulsations behave similarly to a sinusoidal oscillation. Depending on the time interval, a wide variety of pressures are thus present in front of the injector injector, which makes precise, reproducible minimum quantity injection impossible in order to reduce pollutant emissions ( FIG. 11 ).
  • An advantageous damping element preferably between the pressure generator and the injection opening of an injector is provided according to a variant of the invention in an advantageous manner, wherein the fuel flow is divided by the damping element, esp.
  • the damping element esp.
  • the fabric pores and / or holes of the perforated plates in a plurality of part streams and wherein in the flow direction behind the damping element, the partial flows are at least partially reunited.
  • an increased energy dissipation is realized in the damping element, which can be based on different effects.
  • friction and throttle effects play a role.
  • the contact area and the contact time of the fuel fluid with the wall regions of the damping element and thus also the friction are significantly increased by the inventive division of the total flow of the fuel fluid.
  • a damping element or a damping unit which / divides the fuel into a plurality of partial flows and reunited after the damping element and / or at least two mutually spaced damping elements are provided, wherein there is a flow zone in which the partial flows reunite.
  • damping units with combinations of ordered wire mesh and / or bulk material and / or wire mesh, in this case, the number of any layer / layer can be varied as desired.
