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)

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)
