Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling the injection rate and injection pressure of an electromagnetic fuel injector assembly having a pressure balanced control valve including a solenoid and a valve member subject to the pressures developed by the injector and actuated by the solenoid to close the valve member against the biasing force of a spring. The control valve is supported in a valve bore in the injector body. The valve bore includes a relieved portion. The method includes the step of providing a first level of current to the solenoid for moving the valve member from an open to a closed position allowing the pressure in the injector to rise, providing a reduced level of current to the solenoid at preselected times during the injector event to unbalance the forces acting on the valve member thereby slightly unseating the valve member to regulate the injection pressure and injection rate of the fuel injector and ending current to the solenoid thereby moving the valve member to its open position.
