Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of generating a spray by a fluid injection valve is provided. The fluid injection valve includes a valve seat ( 10 ), a valve body ( 8 ), and an orifice plate ( 11 ) having a plurality of orifices ( 12 ). The flows in the orifices and the flows directly below the orifices are configured to be substantially liquid film flows. The directions of jet flows ( 30 ), ( 31 ) from the respective orifices ( 12 ) are not necessarily matched to the central axis directions of the orifices and are not necessarily intersected with each other at a downstream position thereof. The sprays are caused to converge by the Coanda effect acting on a plurality of sprays after jet flows from the orifices ( 12 ) become sprays at a downstream position farther than a break-up length (a). The convergence of the sprays is continued until the Coanda effect is substantially lost.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of generating a spray by a fluid injection valve comprising orifices, the method comprising: forming a relatively faster flow and a relatively slower flow in a corresponding orifice, wherein the faster flow is configured to press a fuel into an inner surface of the corresponding orifice, due to a faster speed and in response to an air entering the corresponding orifice between the faster flow and the inner surface of the corresponding orifice, where…
