Injector Nozzle Sleeve: know what they are and how they function in the engine.

Maybe you’ll start this reading and recall today’s special vehicle component by a different name, and there’s no issue with that. But before we begin to talk about this subject, it’s important that we first thoroughly understand exactly what the injector nozzle is. Well then, read on!

What is the injector nozzle?

The fuel injector nozzle, sometimes better known as the fuel injector valve, is present in all electronic injection engines. These are responsible for dosing, or as some Experts would prefer to say “spraying”, an amount of fuel that is injected into the combustion chamber. And, the better the dosage control, the more efficient is the yield, performance, and the economy of the vehicle.

But after all, what are the Injector Nozzle Sleeves?

In this regard, the sleeve, also called the “nozzle cover”, is nothing more than the part that helps seal the injector nozzle, avoiding possible leaks that may affect operation.

Or be it, in a word that could sum it up: precision. This is because this component perfects the adjustment between the nozzle and its housing, allowing for thermal exchange all throughout the cylinder head.

And, in order to guarantee better resistance at higher temperatures, the sleeve is comprised of copper or steel. Both materials being recommended in order to guarantee the temperature control of the injector.
