The fuel pressure regulating valve (N276)<br />

is located on the lower section of the intake<br />

manifold and is screwed in place between the<br />

fuel rail and the return line leading to the fuel<br />

tank.<br />

Task<br />

The task of the fuel pressure regulating valve is to<br />

adjust the fuel pressure in the fuel rail<br />

irrespective of the injection quantity and pump<br />

delivery rate.<br />

This is how it works<br />

If deviations from the setpoint pressure are<br />

detected, the fuel pressure regulating valve is<br />

activated by a pulse-width modulated signal<br />

from the engine control unit. As a result of this, a<br />

magnetic field is induced in the magnetic coil<br />

and the valve <strong>with</strong> the valve ball lifts off the valve<br />

seat. In this way, the flow cross-section to the<br />

return line is changed depending on signal size,<br />

thus altering the discharge rate and regulating<br />

the fuel pressure.<br />

The regulating valve is closed in de-energized<br />

state. This ensures that sufficient fuel pressure is<br />

always present. To protect the components<br />

against excessively high pressures, a springoperated<br />

mechanical pressure limiting device is<br />

built into the fuel pressure regulating valve. It<br />

opens at a fuel pressure of 120 bar.<br />
