Distributed fuel injection equipment
Fuel injection equipment includes a high pressure fuel source able to flow high pressure fuel via connecting pipes to a plurality of injectors. The fuel injection equipment is high pressure fuel reservoir-less, a distributed storage for high pressure fuel being arranged in the pipes and in the injectors.
1. Fuel injector equipment comprising:
a high pressure fuel source able to flow high pressure fuel;
a plurality of connecting pipes which flow fuel from said high pressure fuel source; and
a plurality of fuel injectors, each of said plurality of fuel injectors having an internal reservoir able to withstand 4 to 8 cm 3 of high pressure fuel and two inlets which outwardly extend along respective axes such that said respective axes are set at an angle or parallel to a main axis of said fuel injector, said plurality of fuel injectors being connected to said high pressure fuel source and to each other by said connecting pipes forming a daisy chain, said inlets being provided with threaded members which connect said plurality of connecting pipes to said plurality of fuel injectors via a nut;
wherein said fuel injection equipment is high pressure fuel reservoir-less;
wherein a distribution storage for high pressure fuel is arranged in said plurality of connecting pipes and in said plurality of fuel injectors;
wherein said high pressure fuel source comprises a plurality of high pressure pumps; and
wherein said plurality of high pressure pumps are connected in series.
