An actuator rail assembly for conveying an actuating fluid under pressure to
at
least one fuel injector includes an elongate fluid passageway (18) being
defined in a rail (12). A fluid inlet port (31) is in fluid communication
with the fluid passageway (18), the inlet port being fluidly couplable to
a source of actuating fluid under pressure. A respective fluid outlet port is associated
with each respective fuel injector and being fluidly couplable thereto for conveying
actuating fluid to the respective fuel injector and at least one fluid cavity (16)
having at least one throttling orifice (14), the orifice effecting fluid
communication between the fluid cavity (16) and the fluid passageway (18).
An acoustic wave attenuator and a method of attenuation are also included.
