Inventor: MODIEN RUSSELL
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: An automotive emission control valve, such as an EGR valve, has a
solenoid for operating a valve element. The solenoid has a stator and an
armature. A pole piece of the stator is cooperatively associated with a wall of
the armature and comprises a channel that is annular about, and concentric
with, a centerline of armature motion. In radial cross section the channel is
defined by radially inner and outer walls that form an open throat for the
channel, allowing an end portion of the armature wall to move within the
channel as the armature is displaced along the centerline. Various
constructions for the inner and outer walls are disclosed, including tapers for
both walls.

penetrating through each liner. The row  114  of holes in the
outer liner 34 comprise at least a set of large size, major
outer holes  116  and may also include a set of smaller size
minor outer holes  118  circumferentially intermediate
