Suction stroke
During the plunger's return stroke, when the
plunger barrel's inlet port and the plunger's in-
let slit are aligned, pressurized fuel oil in the
pump chamber is sucked into the pressure
chamber. (Fig. 10)
Delivery stroke
As the plunger is rotated and lifted by the cam
disk, the plunger's outside face blocks the
plunger barrel's inlet port and compression of
fuel oil begins. At almost the same time the
plunger's outlet slit meets the plunger barrel's
outlet port. As a result of this, the fuel oil pres-
surized by the plunger lift overcomes the set
force of the delivery valve spring and the injec-
tion pipe's in-line residual pressure, and opens
the delivery valve. The fuel oil is then injected
through the nozzle and nozzle holder into the
engine's combustion chamber. (Fig. 11)
