Abstract:
1. An injector igniter for replacing a diesel fuel injector in an internal combustion engine, the injector igniter comprising: a valve movable between a closed position and an open position to introduce fuel into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine; an ignition feature positioned to generate an ignition event; a valve driver movable between a first position and a second position; a first solenoid winding configured to generate a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field moves the valve driver from the first position to the second position to move the valve from the closed position to the open position; and a second solenoid winding, separate from the first solenoid winding, wherein the second solenoid winding is electrically coupled to the ignition feature, wherein the magnetic field generates ignition energy in the second solenoid winding, and wherein the second solenoid winding supplies the ignition energy to the ignition feature to generate the ignition event.
