ABSTRACT:
With reference to Figure, the present invention provides a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine which delivers fuel to be mixed with charge air for subsequent combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The fuel injection system comprises a fuel injector which functions as a positive displacement pump and dispenses in each operation thereof a set quantity of fuel;a mixing chamber into which the fuel injector dispenses fuel; and a gas supply passage for supplying gas to the mixing chamber to entrain the fuel dispensed into the mixing chamber in a flow of gas which passes through the mixing chamber into the combustion chamber. The mixing chamber is connected to the combustion chamber to deliver fuel and gas into the combustion chamber separately from the charge air and a depression in the combustion chamber is used to draw gas through the gas supply passage into the combustion chamber. An inlet valve controls flow of charge air into the combustion chamber and the inlet valve is kept closed for an initial part of an intake stroke of the engine so that the depression is created in the combustion chamber.
