Abstract

In a motorbrake arrangement for a Diesel engine which utilizes a high pressure fuel reservoir from which fuel is supplied to the injector of each of the various engine cylinders, and each of the cylinders includes a decompression valve which is hydraulically operated for decompression of gas compressed in the engine cylinder during the engine compression stroke, the decompression valve is operable by high pressure fuel admitted to the decompression valve through a control line from the high pressure fuel reservoir under the control of an electromagnetic valve arranged in the control line.
