  • Terms and Definitions of Fuel Injection Management Systems
    THROTTLE BODY TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF INJECTION (TBI) — In TBI FUEL INJECTION systems the throttle body assembly has two major MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS functions: regulate the air- flow, and house the fuel Throttle Body Assembly (TBA) — The throttle body injectors and the fuel pres- assembly (also called air valve), controls the airflow to the sure regulator. The choices engine through one, two or four butterfly valves and of throttle bodies range provides valve position feedback via the throttle position from single barrel/single sensor. Rotating the throttle lever to open or close the injector unit generally sized for less than 150 HP to four bar- passage into the intake manifold controls the airflow to the rel/four injector unit capable of supporting fuel and air flow for engine. The accelerator pedal controls the throttle lever posi- 600 HP. The injectors are located in an injector pod above the tion. Other functions of the throttle body are idle bypass air throttle valves. The quantity of fuel the injector spray into the control via the idle air control valve, coolant heat for avoiding intake manifold is continuously controlled by the ECU. Most of icing conditions, vacuum signals for the the TBI systems use bottom fed fuel injectors. ancillaries and the sensors.

  • Nos Roots-Type Nitrous Systems Supercharger Series
    NOS ROOTS-TYPE NITROUS SYSTEMS SUPERCHARGER SERIES P/N 13350NOS & 02520NOS INSTRUCTION P/N A5118-SNOS APPLICATIONS: These kits are designed to work on highly modified domestic V-8 engines using 671 and 871 roots-type superchargers, with mechanical fuel injection or carburetion. PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL: These kits come with jetting that allows power gain to be easily adjusted to 225-250 HP. Typical power gains for the roots-type supercharger systems are as follows: Nitrous/Fuel Power Gain (BHP) Jetting 16/20* 80 20/24* 120 26/29 175 32/36* 200 36/38* 200+ *Not supplied with kits. At the 200+ horsepower level, the Cheater nitrous solenoid is flowing at maximum capability. Increasing jetting sizes beyond this point will probably not result in any performance increase. If performance greater than 200+ horsepower is desired, it is recommended that the roots-type supercharger plate system be upgraded with a Pro Shot nitrous solenoid. This will increase maximum power capability to 325+. TUNING SUGGESTIONS: The tuning combinations listed on the next page are for engines using a moderate amount of supercharger boost (5-10 psi). If attempting to use one of these systems with elevated boost, extreme care should be taken in arriving at proper ignition timing setting. Ignition timing will vary with engine combination, but you can expect at least 4°-8° less than the value recommended in these tables. When using kit P/N 02520NOS at higher power levels, gasoline of at least 116 octane is required. Suggested Tuning Combinations for NOS Roots-Type Super

  • FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM for CI ENGINES the Function of a Fuel
    FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FOR CI ENGINES The function of a fuel injection system is to meter the appropriate quantity of fuel for the given engine speed and load to each cylinder, each cycle, and inject that fuel at the appropriate time in the cycle at the desired rate with the spray configuration required for the particular combustion chamber employed. It is important that injection begin and end cleanly, and avoid any secondary injections. To accomplish this function, fuel is usually drawn from the fuel tank by a supply pump, and forced through a filter to the injection pump. The injection pump sends fuel under pressure to the nozzle pipes which carry fuel to the injector nozzles located in each cylinder head. Excess fuel goes back to the fuel tank. CI engines are operated unthrottled, with engine speed and power controlled by the amount of fuel injected during each cycle. This allows for high volumetric efficiency at all speeds, with the intake system designed for very little flow restriction of the incoming air. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF AN INJECTION SYSTEM For a proper running and good performance of the engine, the following requirements must be met by the injection system: • Accurate metering of the fuel injected per cycle. Metering errors may cause drastic variation from the desired output. The quantity of the fuel metered should vary to meet changing speed and load requirements of the engine. • Correct timing of the injection of the fuel in the cycle so that maximum power is obtained. • Proper control of rate of injection so that the desired heat-release pattern is achieved during combustion.

  • AP-42, Vol. I, 3.3: Gasoline and Diesel Industrial Engines
    3.3 Gasoline And Diesel Industrial Engines 3.3.1 General The engine category addressed by this section covers a wide variety of industrial applications of both gasoline and diesel internal combustion (IC) engines such as aerial lifts, fork lifts, mobile refrigeration units, generators, pumps, industrial sweepers/scrubbers, material handling equipment (such as conveyors), and portable well-drilling equipment. The three primary fuels for reciprocating IC engines are gasoline, diesel fuel oil (No.2), and natural gas. Gasoline is used primarily for mobile and portable engines. Diesel fuel oil is the most versatile fuel and is used in IC engines of all sizes. The rated power of these engines covers a rather substantial range, up to 250 horsepower (hp) for gasoline engines and up to 600 hp for diesel engines. (Diesel engines greater than 600 hp are covered in Section 3.4, "Large Stationary Diesel And All Stationary Dual-fuel Engines".) Understandably, substantial differences in engine duty cycles exist. It was necessary, therefore, to make reasonable assumptions concerning usage in order to formulate some of the emission factors. 3.3.2 Process Description All reciprocating IC engines operate by the same basic process. A combustible mixture is first compressed in a small volume between the head of a piston and its surrounding cylinder. The mixture is then ignited, and the resulting high-pressure products of combustion push the piston through the cylinder. This movement is converted from linear to rotary motion by a crankshaft. The piston returns, pushing out exhaust gases, and the cycle is repeated. There are 2 methods used for stationary reciprocating IC engines: compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition (SI).

Madhu Department of Automobile Engineering, Saveetha School of Engineering, Chennai-602 105 *Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Gasoline direct injection process is a form of gas give procedure used in current developments of vehicle. The gasoline financial system and the stringent exhaust emission norms has led to the transmission in the gasoline process from carburetor direct injection method. Probably the most predominant international initiative of the automobile industry is to improve an immediate-injection fuel engine. Four technical aspects that make up the groundwork applied sciences in direct injection methods. a) Air waft into the cylinder is improved. b) The form of the piston with curved high controls the combustion by way of mixing the air-gasoline combination. c) The stress of gas injection is accelerated by the excessive strain gas Pump. d) The vaporization and dispersion of the gas spray is managed by means of the excessive stress swirl injector Gasoline financial system will also be acquired by using adjusting air fuel ratio situated on the performing load. It presents a right estimation of the nice of gasoline required at right time and supplies manipulate over combustion. Gasoline in this paper advantages and effects of fuel direct injection procedure is reviewed. KEY WORDS: Gasoline direct injection (GDI), High Pressure Fuel Pump, Carburetor. 1. INTRODUCTION The fundamental goals of the automotive enterprise is to acquire a excessive energy, low precise fuel consumption, low emissions, low noise and higher drive relief cars.
