Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Einspritzsystem
German term or phrase: Mengensprung
"Zu einem Zeitpunkt, bei dem die zweite Lochreihe aktiviert ist, steigt die Einspritzrate abrupt an. Dies wird als Mengensprung bezeichnet." (Zitat aus einem Patent)

Es geht bei meinem Text um die Optimierung von Einspritzsystemen. Weiß jemand, ob es einen speziellen Begriff für Mengensprung gibt?

Danke,

Antje

Not sure, though, that this suits your context (Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Einspritzsystem)

Indeed. As the title of the source dictionary suggests: Wirtschaftsenglisch-Wörterbuch:

I still think that you need a formulation that includes 'quantum':
quantum increase

Asker: I found that one too, but am not sure if this is truly correct. Thank you though.

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: Would they then not have written Quantensprung? Patents are a nightmare. Quantitative jump/leap/increase maybe?

neutral  Ramey Rieger (X): My first thought, too, but I think something less figurative would be needed here.

Reference: "Kraftstoffmengensprung

Reference information:
Sudden increases/decreases in injected fuel quantities

"Bei sogenannten Variodüsen kann der Fall eintreten, dass in bestimmten Betriebszuständen, insbesondere beim Übergang von der kleinen Einspritzrate zur größeren Einspritzrate bzw. beim Übergang von der größeren Einspritzrate zur kleineren Einspritzrate, bei konstanter Ansteuerdauer ein Mengensprung auftritt. D. h. bei einer bestimmten Drehzahl springt die einzuspritzende Kraftstoffmenge bei konstanter Ansteuerdauer sprungförmig von einem niederen auf einen höheren Wert. Entsprechend springt die einzuspritzende Kraftstoffmenge bei konstanter Drehzahl und steigender Ansteuerdauer von einem niederen auf einen höheren Wert"
https://www.google.com/patents/DE10351892

More context
"Betrachtet man die Abhängigkeit der Einspritzmenge von der Ansteuerdauer, so steigt üblicherweise mit der Ansteuerdauer die Einspritzmenge an. Zu einem Zeitpunkt, bei dem die zweite Lochreihe aktiviert ist, steigt die Einspritzrate abrupt an. Dies wird als Mengensprung bezeichnet. Üblicherweise sogar so, dass zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Einspritzmenge sprunghaft auf einen neuen Wert ansteigt...Dies bedeutet bei einem Anstieg der Ansteuerdauer ändert sich die Einspritzmenge und damit das abgegebenen Drehmoment der Brennkraftmaschine sprunghaft."

Asker: Orla, thank you so much for this. I think I will use it, since it makes the most sense in my context.

Asker: Can you enter this as a suggestion so that I can grade it?
