Abstract

A plug-in pump for a common-rail system has a pump housing having a cylinder formed therein and a piston guided in the cylinder, a fuel inlet, and a fuel outlet. The pump housing also includes a plug-in section for inserting the pump housing into an opening of an engine component, and a flange that delimits the plug-in section, for fastening the pump housing to the engine component. To cool the plug-in pump, the pump housing has at least one flow duct with a separate fluid inlet and a separate fluid outlet. The fluid inlet is connectable to a fluid-discharging line of the internal combustion engine, and the fluid outlet is connectable to a fluid-receiving line of the internal combustion engine.
