Abstract

Fuel injection arrangements having pneumatically driven injection pumps utilize the fluctuating crankcase pressure whereby the injection time point is fixed by the system. The injection time point can be fixed so as to depart from the course of the pressure in the crankcase if the crankcase pressure is applied to the injection pump via an opening controlled by the piston and if the pressure drop is directed to the combustion chamber via a relief opening. However, it has been shown that this kind of control produces considerable problems with respect to fast-running two-stroke engines. Accordingly, it is a feature of the invention to provide a check valve in the connection between the relief opening and the injection pump and to position this check valve so that it opens in the flow direction toward the combustion chamber. In this way, high pressures which occur as a consequence of incomplete or irregular combustions in the combustion chamber cannot have a feedback effect on the injection pump and the quantity injected is not increased in a disadvantageous manner for the next cycle.
