Abstract

L'invention concerne un système (10) d'injection de carburant comportant un injecteur (16) de carburant doté d'une section (18) d'admission de carburant configurée pour introduire de manière contrôlable du carburant à partir de l'injecteur de carburant, un accumulateur (24) de pression dans l'injecteur de carburant placé en liaison fluidique avec la section d'admission et une entrée (26) de carburant placée en liaison fluidique avec l'accumulateur de pression, ledit système d'injection de carburant étant muni d'au moins un système échangeur (100) de chaleur. Le ou les systèmes échangeurs (100) de chaleur sont configurés pour agir sur l'accumulateur (24) de pression du système d'injection de carburant depuis l'extérieur de celui-ci. La présente invention concerne également un procédé de régulation de la température d'au moins un injecteur de carburant, une culasse et la combinaison d'une culasse et d'un système d'injection de carburant.
