It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in gasoline automotive engines, having almost completely replaced carburetors in the late 1980s. The carburetor was invented by Karl Benz (founder of MercedesBenz) in 1885 and patented in 1886. Carburetors were the usual fuel delivery method for almost all gasoline (petrol)2 fuelled engines up until the late 1980s, when fuel injection became the preferred method of automotive fuel delivery. In the U.S. market, the last carbureted cars were the 1990 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, Buick Estate Wagon, and Subaru Justy, and the last carbureted light truck was the 1994 Isuzu.

A majority of motorcycles still use carburetors due to lower cost and throttle response problems with early injection set ups, but as of 2005, many new models are now being introduced with fuel injection.

Fuel injection• Fuel injection is a system for mixing fuel with air in an internal combustion 

engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system used in gasoline automotive engines, having almost completely replaced carburetors in the late 1980s.

• The carburetor was invented by Karl Benz (founder of Mercedes‐Benz) in 1885 and patented in 1886.

• Carburetors were the usual fuel delivery method for almost all gasoline (petrol)‐

• In SI engines the air and fuel are usually mixed together in the intake system prior to entry to the engine cylinder.

• Ratio of air to fuel ≈ 15 : 1

• Fuel is injected to trough individual injectors from a low‐pressure fuel supply system into the intake port.

Engine Information‐valve timing and volume relationship• Between 10‐40 crank angles before TDC electrical discharge 

across the spark plug starts the combustion process. Typically duration of burning 40 ‐ 60 crank degrees. 

• About 2/3 of the way through the expansion stroke, the exhaust valve starts to opens. It open before the end of the expansion

p p pstroke.  It remains open until just after TDC.

• The intake opens just before TDC.

• Valves open and closes slowly to reduce noise and excessive cam wear. Valve open period often overlaps.

CI vs. SI Engines• SI engines draw fuel and air into the cylinder.• Fuel must be injected into the cylinder at the desired time of 

combustion in CI engines.• Air intake is throttled to the SI engine ‐‐ no throttling in CI 

engines.• Compression ratios must be high enough to cause auto‐ignition 

in CI engines (CI:12 to 24), compressed to pressure about 4 Mpa d t t b t 800 K

11

and temperature about 800 K.• Upper compression ratio in SI engines is limited by the auto‐

ignition temperature (SI: 8 to 12). • Flame front in SI engines smooth and controlled.• CI combustion is rapid and uncontrolled at the beginning.• The valve timing in both CI and SI are similar.

General Characteristics

• Pump runs at ½ engine speed

–Controls Quantity AND timing of injection

–Max fuel limited by smoke limit

• How does timing vary with load?

–Ignition delay is SHORTER (higher density) BUT:

–Although ignition delay is shorted, still need more advance to ensure all fuel is burnt during stroke

25

–Timing varies with load and speed

–Timing accurate to 1o crank angle

• At max load fuel variance among cylinders should be less than 3% otherwise power limited by smoky exhaust of richest cyl.

A pump ain’t so simple!

Layout of conventional fuel system

27

In‐Line Pumps (most common)‐a set of cam driven plungers (one for each cylinder)

• Driven from crank ½ speed

• Multi‐lobe cam

• This example uses rack, not lever

• Rack rotates plunger assy and 

28

p g ycontrols flow

• Governor and advance coupling driven by rotating weights acting against a spring (like mechanical advance on distributor)

• Fuel trapped in the plunger is forced through a check valve into the injection line. The injection nozzle has one or more holes through which the fuel is sprayed to cylinder.

Plunger Design – Traditional Injection Pump

29

• Plunger forces fuel through fitting

• Rotating Lever controls how much spills back – lever controls fuel flow (no throttle)

• All run by cam driven by crank

• Operation:

–Plunger moves up and blocks inlet

–Fuel is allowed to escape through spill port (notice helical grove)

–Reminder of fuel forced out outlet port

–Stroke is constant by delivery varied by rotation

31

• Much less complicated but lower pressures

• Few moving parts

• Fed by transfer pump

• Metering through governor mechanism – rotor slides

Fuel Injectors

• Nozzle type dictates performance

• Single Hole

–Good for ID–1mm hard to clog

• Multi hole

–Better misting

–Easy clog as size ‐> 0.1mm

33

• Clogs caused by decomp of leaked fuel

• Differential pressures cause opening

• Note needle design – pressure OPENS nozzle

• Differential pressures 

–f(needle diameter vs. seat diameter)

–Spring closing–Harder to open than to keep open

• Smaller seat contact area and strong spring enhance sealing, eliminate dribble

• Dribble leads to emissions and deposits

Operation of needle

• This is why it’s easier to keep a needle open than to open it initially

• Good idea to provide pressure release mechanism to fast and accurate closing

34

Pintle Nozzle

• Excellent disbursement, provides conical spray pattern

• Looks Similar to that used in CIS systems

• Opens UPWARD

• Excellent clog resistance

• 4V Heads:

–Cooling important to maintain tolerances and sealing

• Spray Pattern Critical!

–Aspect Ratio of 2‐8–Larger Aspect Ratio – more penetration

–Larger Aspect ratio – Smaller cone
