Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to fuel injectors for internal combustion engines. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fuel injector with an integrated pressure sensor for determining the pressure in the combustion chamber of the engine. Background technique
[0002] During operation of an internal combustion engine, the combustion of fuel takes place in one or more combustion chambers defined in part by associated cylinders disposed in the engine block. The capacity of each combustion chamber is determined by the position of the reciprocating piston, and gases are admitted to and discharged from the combustion chambers through inlet and discharge valves provided in the cylinder head. The gas pressure in the combustion chamber at a given time is determined by parameters such as piston position and valve opening or closing configuration.
[0003] In a diesel engine (compression ignition), fuel is admitted to the combustion chamber thro...
