COOLED ATOMIZER FOR SOLID INJECTION ENGINES Filed June 15, 1937 I n venfoir a fiamws (/2177 5119826;
' PatentedFeb. 15, 1938 ENGINE S Johannes Jan Breeze, Delft, Netherlands, as.-
signor to Shell Development Company, San Francisco, Calif., a corporation of Delaware Application June 15, 1937, Serial No. 148,313 In the Netherlands June 22, 1936 Claims.
The invention relates to cooled atomizers for solid injection engines and more in particular to such atomizers in which an injection nozzle containing a space for cooling liquid is fitted against 5 a valve housing containing the usually springloaded injection valve or needle.
The object of the invention is to obtain in a simple manner a reliable sealbetween the fuel space of 'the valve body-in which during the injection period a very high pressure prevails-and the space for the cooling liquid.
According to the invention this'is achieved by providing the injection nozzle with a part extending into the fuel spaceof the valve housing,
said part being cylindrical o rrthe outside engaging with the cylindrical inside of the fuel space.
The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through an atomizer according to the invention.
Fig. 2 shows the valve housing of Figure 1, seen from above.
Fig. 3 shows a modified construction of the injection nozzle on a larger scale.
With the atomizer according to Figures 1 and 2 the spring-loaded injection valve or needle I is guided in the needle housing 2 which is provided with afuel supply duct 3 and, further, with cooling medium supply and discharge ducts 5 and 4 respectively. As cooling medium preferably oil is used, viz. the oil serving at the same time as fuel. The cooling liquid is circulated through the cooling space l2 formed by a groove or recess in the injection nozzle 6, which recess is sealed by the end of the valve housing, against which the injection nozzle is affixed, for instance screwed. J
A satisfactory seal between the cooling space and the outside can be obtained, for instance, by
welding the nozzle to the housing 2 along the seam l or by means of a sealing face 8 as shown in Figure 3. The nozzle 6 contains also the seat for the needle I.
According to the invention the seal between the fuel space I I and the cooling space I2 is obtained by meafis of the part 9 of the injection nozzle,
which part is cylindrical on the outside and precision-fitted into the bottom part of needle housing 2., This jacket or sleeve 9 made preferably of steel,.just as the nozzle 6, is sufficiently deformed under the influence of the high fuel pressure, which may amount to 100-400 atm., to press so tightly against the inside of the needle housing as to form a perfect seal. .The jacket or sleeve may also be used for centering, but this may also be elfected by means of a special centering edge ill (see Fig. 3). L
It is remarked that in case fuel oil is used for cooling a'leakage of fuel to be injected into the cooling space, if under certain conditions this should occur, would not result in contamination of th ejcooling liquid. When fuel is used as cooling medium any oil leaking along the needle may be carried ofi through the cooling oil discharge line to this end the duct It may be provided in the atomizer holder (see Fig. 1).
The ducts 3, 4 and 5 terminate at the top of the needle housing 2, as shown in Fig. 2, in recesses drilled or milled into 'said top which is ground so as to fit accurately the underside of the atomizer holder l3 against which it is tightened by means of the nut I4. Set pins l5 ensure the correct connection of the ducts 3, 4 and 5 to their extensions in the atomizer holder l3.
The nozzle 6 may be constructed with one or more orifices, or as a nozzle for a so-called pintle atomizer.
