Injectors on modern 2 stroke engines do not have internal water cooling passages.
2. They are cooled by a combination of the bore cooling in the cylinder head close to the
valve pockets and by the fuel which is recirculated through the injector when the follower
is on the base of the cam or when the engine is stopped.
3. As well as cooling the injector, recirculating the fuel when the engine is stopped keeps the
fuel at the correct viscosity for injection
4. The fuel oil circulating pump circulates preheated oil through the fuel pump
and fuel valve.
5. In the fuel valve the oil passes through the central bore of the valve head and continues to
the thrust piece in the non return valve, leaving through the circulation bore of the latter.
6. Then the oil is passed through the interior of the valve body to an outlet pipe on the side of
the valve head.
7. The space round the tapered valve seat of the spindle of the non return valve is also filled
with oil, but the circulating pump pressure is insufficient to overcome the force of the spring
and lift the spindle.
8. at the beginning of the delivery stroke, the pressure has risen to about 10 bar,
the force of the spring of the non return valve will be overcome and the spindle
pressed back against the shoulder of the thrust piece.
9. When the spindle of the non return valve is pressed upwards, the circulation bore of
the thrust piece is closed, and the oil passes the seat of the spindle and enters the
space round cut off shaft in the spindle guide.
10. When the pressure has risen to the preset opening value of the fuel valve, the spindle is
lifted, and oil is forced through the nozzle into the engine cylinder.
11. At the termination of the delivery stroke first the cut off shaft and then the spindle of
the non return valve will be pressed against their respective seats, the injection of fuel
stops, and oil is again circulated through the valve.
12. If for some reason, cut off shaft should not close during engine standstill, then
the closed spindle of the non return valve will prevent the circulating pump from
pressing oil through the nozzle, and thus obviate the risk of the engine cylinder being
filled with oil.
