Reverse Flow Valve For Fuel Injectors

View page
US Patent:
6655603, Dec 2, 2003
Filed:
Apr 18, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/125262
Inventors:
Michael C. Long - Germantown Hills IL
Xinshuang Nan - Bloomington IL
Hrishikesh D. Thaker - Peoria IL
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Peoria IL
Victor I. Yacoub - Pontiac IL
Goudarz Haji - Normal IL
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02D 106
US Classification:
239 5, 239 88, 239 92, 2395339
Abstract:
A reverse flow valve member is positioned within an injector body of a fuel injector and is movable between a closed position and an open position. When the reverse flow valve member is in its closed position, an upper portion of a nozzle supply passage is blocked from fluid communication with a lower portion of the nozzle supply passage. A compressed spring biases the reverse flow valve member to its closed position. When the reverse flow valve member is in its open position, the fuel pressurization chamber is fluidly connected to the lower portion of the nozzle supply passage. The present invention limits gas ingestion due to tip leakage, and allows an injector with trapped gas to prime itself.

Directly Controlled Fuel Injector With Sealing Against Fluid Mixing

View page
US Patent:
6749129, Jun 15, 2004
Filed:
Jul 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/209530
Inventors:
Gregory W. Hefler - Chillicothe IL
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Peoria IL
Ye Tian - Bloomington IL
Scott F. Shafer - Morton IL
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02M 4702
US Classification:
239 88, 239 96, 239124
Abstract:
A fuel injector with a direct control needle valve has a closing hydraulic surface exposed to a control fluid, and an opening hydraulic surface exposed to fuel. The control fluid is different from the fuel. A vented annulus is positioned around the needle valve member between the control fluid chamber and the fuel chamber. An o-ring is positioned in a lower pressure region between the annulus and the control fluid chamber.

Electromagnetic Control Valve

View page
US Patent:
6945508, Sep 20, 2005
Filed:
May 29, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/446934
Inventors:
Stephen R. Lewis - Minonk IL, US
Dana R. Coldren - Fairbury IL, US
Harish K. Krishnaswamy - Normal IL, US
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Peoria IL, US
Jeremy T. Claus - Pontiac IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F16K031/02
US Classification:
25112902, 25112919
Abstract:
An electromagnetic control valve is provided. The control valve includes a housing defining a bore and a fluid passageway having a seat. A valve element is slidably disposed in the bore and is moveable between a first position where a flow of fluid passes by the seat and a second position where a flow of fluid relative to the seat is blocked. A solenoid having an armature is operatively connected with the valve element. The solenoid is operable to move the valve element from the first position to the second position. A biasing assembly is operatively engaged with the valve element and is adapted to move the valve element from the second position towards the first position. The biasing assembly exerts a first force on the valve element during a first predetermined travel distance from the second position and a second force on the valve element during a second predetermined travel distance. The first force is greater than the second force.

Solenoid Actuator And Fuel Injector Using Same

View page
US Patent:
20130248612, Sep 26, 2013
Filed:
Mar 26, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/429882
Inventors:
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Edwards IL, US
Gregory Alan Weyeneth - Dunlap IL, US
Jayaraman K. Venkataraghavan - Dunlap IL, US
Nadeem Bunni - Cranberry Township PA, US
Assignee:
CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F02D 1/06
F16K 31/02
F02M 45/10
US Classification:
239 5, 239 95, 25112901
Abstract:
Starting and ending an injection event are accomplished by respectively energizing and de-energizing a solenoid actuator to move an armature assembly with respect to a stator. The stator is protected from impact damage by maintaining the armature assembly out of contact with the stator. The inducement of residual magnetism in the armature assembly is reduced by stopping the armature assembly at a large radius outside of the magnetic flux circuit through the stator and soft magnetic armature of the armature assembly, when the solenoid actuator is energized.

Fuel Injector With Pressurized Fuel Reverse Flow Check Valve

View page
US Patent:
6517011, Feb 11, 2003
Filed:
Jun 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/593027
Inventors:
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Peoria IL
Ye Tian - Bloomington IL
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc - Peoria IL
International Classification:
B05B 900
US Classification:
239124, 239 90, 2395338, 13753317
Abstract:
A fuel injector pressurizes fuel in a pressurization chamber and ejects the fuel from an orifice. A reverse flow check valve allows fluid communication between the pressurization chamber and the orifice during fuel injection, but blocks fluid communication between the pressurization chamber and the orifice when fuel pressure in the pressurization chamber decreases.

Fuel Injector Assembly Having External Filter And Method Of Making Same

View page
US Patent:
20200263648, Aug 20, 2020
Filed:
Feb 19, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/279967
Inventors:
- Deerfield IL, US
Daniel Bumpus - Naperville IL, US
Diego Caceres - Dunlap IL, US
David Martin - Dunlap IL, US
Sudhindra Ayanji - Peoria IL, US
Assignee:
Caterpillar Inc. - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
F02M 61/16
B01D 29/11
B01D 35/00
Abstract:
A fuel injector assembly includes a fuel injector and an annular filter coupled with the fuel injector, the annular filter being snap-fitted with one of a nozzle case or an injector body of the fuel injector and slip-fitted with the other of the nozzle case or the injector body. The annular filter has a perforated wall forming a filtration screen covering an actuation fluid inlet formed in the nozzle case and positioned upstream of the actuation fluid inlet to trap particulates in incoming actuation fluid.

Cryogenic Pump For Liquefied Natural Gas

View page
US Patent:
20170037836, Feb 9, 2017
Filed:
Aug 6, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/820326
Inventors:
- Peoria IL, US
Adrienne M. Brasche - Peoria IL, US
Daniel R. Baldwin - Peoria IL, US
Sudhindra K. Ayanji - Edwards IL, US
Joshua W. Steffen - El Paso IL, US
Assignee:
CATERPILLAR INC. - Peoria IL
International Classification:
F04B 15/08
F04B 17/05
F04B 53/16
Abstract:
A cryogenic pump for pumping liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a cryogenic tank storing LNG includes a drive assembly and a pump assembly disposed along a pump axis. The drive assembly includes a spool housing having a plurality of spool valves arranged around the pump axis, a tappet housing having a plurality of tappet bores with slidable tappets arranged around the pump axis, and spring housing including a plurality of movably disposed pushrods urged upward by a plurality of associated pushrod springs. Hydraulic fluid received by a hydraulic fluid inlet in the drive assembly is directed by the spool valves to the tappet bores to move the tappets downward against the pushrods. To collect the hydraulic fluid, the lowermost spring housing also includes a collection cavity formed therein that can return the hydraulic fluid to a hydraulic fluid outlet.
