Abstract
The inside of the housing is divided into a low pressure fuel area formed from a fuel inflow port through a feed pump 4 and a high pressure fuel area that can communicate with inflow/outflow ports for fuel. For instance, the low pressure fuel area may be formed as a path extending from the fuel intake port that communicates with the circumferential area of the front end of the rotor to the feed pump via the circumferential area of the rotor support member and a passage for inducing fuel from the high pressure fuel area to the circumferential area of the front end of the rotor may be formed between the rotor and its support member. The flow of fuel in the area where the rotor slides in contact with its support member is ensured, and oil film loss is prevented. With this, cooling and good lubrication in the rotor sliding contact area, where heat is likely to be generated, are promoted, to prevent seizure in the sliding contact area. Also, ports that open into the area where the rotor slides in contact with its support member and that communicates with the compression space may be provided in the rotor so that compressed fuel is supplied directly to the sliding contact area.
