Abstract

A low-cost precise-metering uniform-fuel-breakup fuel injection valve comprises narrow arcuate slots etched through a thin spray disc located downstream of a metering orifice and comprises a plurality of narrow slots of length and width sufficient to break up the fuel first into thin sheets and then into small droplets of uniform diameter.
