Filling phase
The filling phase lasts all the time while pump piston (1) moves upwards. Fuel valve (2) is open while solenoid valve (3) is not
energised. The fuel can therefore be sucked from inlet duct (4), through the open valve and into the pump cylinder.

Figure 1
Unit injector filling phase
Overflow flow phase
Pump piston (1) moves downwards. As long as solenoid valve (3) is not energised, fuel valve (2) remains open and the fuel flows
back out into inlet duct (4).

Unit injector return flow phase
Injection phase
Pump piston (1) is still moving downwards. The control unit has now caused solenoid valve (3) to be energised. The valve poppet is
then pulled up and closes valve (2). As the fuel cannot pass through the valve, pressure rapidly builds up and lifts nozzle needle (5)
and fuel is injected.
The injection lasts as long as the valve remains closed while the pump piston is moving downwards. The injection timing and the
amount of injected fuel is determined by the duration of the current pulse. It is the control unit that determines the current pulse
based on the information it receives from the control system.

Pressure reduction phase
Pump piston (1) is still moving downwards. The control unit interrupts the current pulse, when the engine has received the amount of
fuel required at this moment. Fuel valve (2) opens and again allows a return flow of fuel out through inlet duct (4). The pressure then
drops rapidly and nozzle needle (5) closes.
