Internal combustion engine device

Abstract

The internal combustion engine plant has a pressure accumulator line (2) holding fuel at high pressure and from which branches a fuel line (4) to each cylinder (1). The fuel line accommodates an electronically controlled fuel valve (5), with each valve alternately pressurized by compressed air for opening. A compressed air valve controlled in dependence upon the position of the engine's crankshaft (13) is installed in a compressed air line (6) between a compressed air accumulator (8) and each fuel valve. An independent claim is included for a fuel valve for an internal combustion engine plant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an internal combustion engine arrangement having a pressure accumulator line which absorbs fuel under high pressure, from which pressure accumulator line extends to each cylinder a fuel line accommodating an electrically controlled fuel valve. Background technique [0002] If the electronic system for controlling the fuel valve in such an internal combustion engine arrangement fails, the internal combustion engine stops running. Especially for devices used to drive sailing, failure of this device has serious consequences, since the vessel can only control it while sailing. However, failure of the electronics also leads to unfavorable consequences for internal combustion engine installations used on land. Contents of the invention [0003] It is therefore the object of the present invention to design an internal combustion engine arrangement such that in the event of a failure of the electronic system the internal combustion ...
