INJECTOR SYSTEM [12 records]

Record 1 2024-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Single-point injection(SPI) uses a single injector at the throttle body... This system features one centrally positioned fuel injection nozzle.

Key term(s)
  • single point injection
  • throttle body injection
  • mono-point injection

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

L'injection monopoint. C'est le plus simple et le plus ancien des systèmes ayant remplacé les carburateurs. Il fonctionne avec un boîtier papillon et un seul injecteur qui ajoute la quantité correcte de carburant à l'air avant qu'il ne soit distribué aux différents cylindres.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Exhaust Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Combustion and Fuels (Fireplaces)
OBS

There are two kinds of AIR systems. One forces air into the exhaust with a belt-driven pump, the other uses exhaust-manifold vacuum to draw air in.

OBS

The AIR system’s job is to reduce emissions by injecting air (using a pump) into the exhaust stream.

Record 7 2005-08-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fueling Systems (Motor Vehicles)
CONT

Fuel in the D4D is pressurised to an extremely high 135mpa within the "common rail" that feeds all four cylinders (older diesel engines have a separate pipe leading from the pump to each cylinder). The high pressure injection creates better fuel atomisation for complete burning and increased power output. And because there is less fuel wasted through inefficient combustion, the D4D delivers better fuel economy too.

OBS

A common rail engine is designed to supply constant fuel pressure to electronically controlled injectors through a shared fuel reservoir. This means that the fuel supply is not dependent on the engine revs. A common rail system is built around four basic components : a high pressure pump with pressure regulator and inlet metering valve, a rail which contains a pressurised reserve of fuel, injectors which inject precise amounts of fuel into the combustion chamber as required and a Diesel Control Unit-the ’brain’ of the system, which precisely controls injector flow and timing as well as rail pressure while continuously monitoring the operating conditions of the engine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation (Véhicules automobiles)
DEF

Rampe d'alimentation commune, maintenue à très haute pression, qui permet une injection directe du carburant dans chaque cylindre du moteur.

OBS

Le secret de la «rampe commune», c'est son tube interposé entre la pompe d'injection et les injecteurs. Alors que dans un système d'injection directe classique, la pression dépend du régime-moteur, cette rampe commune, d'un volume de quelques centimètres cubes, va jouer le rôle de réserve de pression. Ainsi, quel que soit le régime-moteur, le moteur dispose d'une pression pouvant atteindre 1500 bars.
