Abstract

Ein Verbrennungsmotor (12) besitzt ein Kraftstoffsystem, das ein Kraftstoffventil (26) umfasst. Das Kraftstoffventil (26) besitzt ein Gehäuse (67), in dem ein Kraftstoffraum (62) ausgebildet ist. Das Kraftstoffsystem besitzt eine Kraftstoffpumpe (34), die Kraftstoff aus einem Kraftstofftank (32) in den Kraftstoffraum (62) fördert. Das Kraftstoffsystem besitzt außerdem eine Förderpumpe (59, 69, 79, 89) zum zwangsweisen Fördern von Kraftstoff in das Kraftstoffsystem. Ein zuverlässiges Spülen des Kraftstoffsystems und eine gute Kühlung des Kraftstoffventils (26) können erreicht werden, wenn sich die Förderpumpe (59, 69, 79, 89) in einer Zuleitung (50, 72) zum Kraftstoffraum (62) des Kraftstoffventils (26) befindet und Kraftstoff in den Kraftstoffraum (62) fördert, und wenn der Kraftstoffraum (62) mit einer Entlastungsleitung (58) verbunden ist, in der ein erstes Ventil (60, 73) angeordnet ist.

An internal combustion engine (12) has a fuel system that includes a fuel valve (26). The fuel valve (26) has a housing (67) in which a fuel chamber (62) is formed. The fuel system has a fuel pump (34) that delivers fuel from a fuel tank (32) into the fuel chamber (62). The fuel system also has a delivery pump (59, 69, 79, 89) for forcing fuel into the fuel system. A reliable purging of the fuel system and good cooling of the fuel valve (26) can be achieved when the feed pump (59, 69, 79, 89) in a supply line (50, 72) to the fuel chamber (62) of the fuel valve (26) and conveying fuel into the fuel space (62), and when the fuel space (62) is connected to a relief line (58) in which a first valve (60, 73) is disposed.
