Abstract

A device for introducing fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, includes an injection valve for withdrawing compressed gas from the cylinder and injecting the gas together with the fuel into the cylinder, a mixing chamber in the front part of the valve for the purpose of gas storage and into which mixing chamber fuel is introduced via one or more flow passages opening into the mixing chamber, the injection valve being provided with a lifting valve for control of the gas exchange between the combustion chamber and the mixing chamber in the front part of the valve, and an orifice where the flow passage opens into the mixing chamber located in the area of the seat of the lifting valve. To improve mixture preparation in the mixing chamber the fuel flow passage is constituted, at least in part, by a longitudinal bore in the valve stem of the lifting valve, the fuel being introduced into the valve stem in an area of the lifting valve distant from the valve seat, and the flow passage can be closed against the direction of fuel delivery by means of a check valve positioned in the area of the orifice opening into the mixing chamber.
