Zusammenfassung:A damping valve assembly for a high pressure outlet connector in a supply pump for a common-rail diesel fuel system is disclosed. The valve assembly comprises a valve head 23 moveable between a closed position, in which it seals against a valve seat and an open position. The assembly further comprises a stem 24 connected to the valve closure 23 having a plurality of longitudinal grooves 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d to allow fluid to flow when the valve head is in either the open or closed position. A retaining ring 22 is connected to the stem and is configured to limit the magnitude of movement between the closed and open positions. The stem may also include a snubbing orifice 26 that provides a restrictive flow path when the valve is closed. The restrictive orifice 26 dampens back pressure waves in the fuel. The invention extends to a pump head and high pressure outlet connector using the valve assembly.
