Patent attributes
A novel in-cylinder fuel injector has been created for internal combustion engines using gaseous fuels such as hydrogen and low-carbon alternatives. This injector enhances the reliability and fuel efficiency of both spark-ignited and compression-ignition engines. The injector's innovative design encompasses a poppet-style valve for fuel injection and a fuel supply valve to govern fuel flow. Furthermore, it incorporates a distinct lubrication system that caters to the valve, seat, and sliding surface. Additionally, the injector includes valve actuators and a control system, effectively managing fuel injector actuation, injection timing, quantity, and valve actuation sequence. Notably, the design also integrates a lubrication system with a control valve.
