Abstract

See full text

A method to operate a dual-nozzle fuel injector is provided. The dual-nozzle fuel injector includes a first control valve, a second control valve, a first control chamber, a second control chamber, a drain, a first needle check, a second needle check, a first nozzle outlet, a second nozzle outlet, and a dual solenoid actuator. The dual solenoid actuator selectively actuates the first control valve and the second control valve to connect the first control chamber and the second control chamber, respectively, to the drain. Flow of a liquid fuel from the first control chamber and the second control chamber, respectively, lifts the first needle check and the second needle check. The first needle check lifts to deliver a first pre-determined amount of the liquid fuel into the cylinder. The second needle check lifts to deliver a second pre-determined amount of the liquid fuel into the cylinder.
