A diesel unit injector of the EMD type is provided with a tip whose radius is centered below the center of radius of the sac which it encloses, and the sac volume is minimized. The lower face of the nozzle body of the injector is faired in such a manner as to maintain a strong wall cross-section. A system utilizing a set of potential substitute spring seats is used to reset the opening pressure, as upon rebuilding, within narrow tolerances. The nozzle body is shortened and the check valve cage correspondingly lengthened to reduce the length of the injector valve proper. Trapped volume is reduced consistently with fuel flow requirements.

In a diesel unit injector of the EMD type having a plunger and bushing assembly to meter and deliver fuel, a check valve cage and check valve for preventing reverse flow of the fuel, a spring cage and a spring and spring seat within the cage, an injection nozzle body, a high pressure seal nozzle valve slidable in said nozzle body under the bias of said spring, axially extending fuel ducts in said check valve cage, spring cage and nozzle body, a housing-nut surrounding said plunger and bushing assembly, check valve cage and check valve, spring cage, spring and spring seat, injection nozzle body, high pressure seal nozzle valve, and axially extending fuel ducts, and threadedly clamping said bushing assembly, check valve cage and nozzle body in stacked relationship, said housing-nut having an open lower end, said nozzle body having an end face exposed through said open lower end of said housing-nut, said end face comprising an inverted central dome of a given radius forming a nozzle tip, an edge zone substantially normal to the central axis of the injector, and a fairing zone between said dome and said edge zone, said faring zone being shaped to fair said dome into said edge zone, a fuel sac formed in said tip and having a hemispherical sac bottom of a radius smaller than said dome radius, the centers of said dome radius and said sac bottom radius each lying on the central longitudinal axis of said injector, said nozzle body having a valve seat against which said valve seats under the bias of said spring and through which fuel flows into said sac under control by said valve, said sac communicating with nozzle spray holes through which fuel flows into the engine combustion chamber, the points of communication between said sac and said nozzle spray holes being spaced below said valve seat, the improvement wherein said center of said dome radius of the nozzle body is located below said center of said sac bottom radius. A device as in claim 1, said high pressure seal nozzle valve having a valve stem, said valve stem having a bearing portion, the axial length of said nozzle body being substantially no greater than the axial length of said spring cage, and the length of said bearing portion of said valve stem being substantially less than the length of the valve spring as confined within said spring cage, whereby the mass of said valve is reduced and its closing velocity is correspondingly increased.
