US Patent:

20040118461, Jun 24, 2004

Filed:

Dec 20, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/323765

Inventors:

Barry Robinson - Williamsburg VA, US
James Wynn - Virginia Beach VA, US

Assignee:

Siemens VDO Automotive Corporation

International Classification:

F02M069/54

US Classification:

137/565130

Abstract:

A pump module for mounting in a fuel tank of an automotive fuel supply system includes a housing, a fuel pump mounted in the housing, a pressure regulator conduit mounted in the housing, and a pressure regulator. The housing includes a module inlet and a module outlet in fluid communication with the module inlet. The fuel pump is in fluid communication with the module inlet. The pressure regulator conduit is in fluid communication with the fuel pump. The pressure regulator conduit includes a regulator inlet, regulator outlet, and a receptacle in fluid communication with the regulator inlet and the regulator outlet. The receptacle includes a first surface surrounding an axis, and a second surface surrounding the axis and the first surface to provide a void between the first surface and the second surface. The pressure regulator is mounted in the receptacle to selectively open fluid communication between the regulator inlet and the regulator outlet. The pressure regulator extends into the void between the first surface of the receptacle and the second surface of the receptacle. The pressure regulator includes a third surface surrounding the axis, and a fourth surface surrounding the axis and the third surface. A first seal engages the first surface of the receptacle and the third surface of the pressure regulator and a second seal engages the second surface of the receptacle and the fourth surface of the pressure regulator.

International Classification:

F16K 15/04

US Classification:

137539000

Abstract:

A flow through pressure regulator apparatus and method for directing a flow of fuel and reducing noise generation within a fuel system. Present invention includes a lower housing having fuel inlet where fuel flows through the fuel inlet and communicates with a valve biasing member through a fuel chamber. The valve biasing member permits or inhibits fuel flow through the fuel chamber by opening and closing a valve element. The valve biasing member comprises a flat disk having at least two reticulated concentric rings coupled by at least one bridge. As fuel flows past an open valve element, the valve biasing member diffuses the flow of fuel. A fuel cover directs the flow of fuel from the valve biasing member to the fuel outlet.

Appl. No.:

8/818861

Inventors:

Christopher T. Vannoy - Williamsburg VA
James A. Wynn - Virginia Beach VA

Assignee:

Siemens Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI

International Classification:

B01D 3502

US Classification:

210109

Abstract:

The fuel filter/regulator assembly comprises a cylindrical body open at one end and closed at its opposite end by an annular wall having a pocket for receiving the regulator. The annular fuel filter is received in the body and has an inner end cap configured to bear against and receive an upper portion of the regulator. A further end cap closes the open end of the body and bears against the fuel filter element. A fuel inlet is provided and all components of the housing are formed of stainless steel. In another form, a wave spring is employed to accommodate stack-up tolerances of the fuel filter.
