FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Gasoline-Engine Fuel Delivery Systems
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Gasoline Engines The power produced by the spark ignition engine is directly proportional to the mass airflow entering it. Control of engine output and the corresponding torque at each engine speed is regulated by governing the amount of air being inducted via the throttle valve. The engine produces maximum power when the throttle valve is fully open (WOT, or wide open throttle). Because maximum maximum possible torque is proportional to fresh-air charge density, it is possible to raise power output by compressing the air before it enters the cylinder.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Air Fuel Ratio The theoretical theoretical ideal for complete complete combustion combustion is a mass mass ratio of 14.7:1, referred to as the stoich stoichiom iometr etric ic ratio. ratio. The air-fuel mixture is a major factor in determining the spark-ignition engine’s rate of specific fuel consumption. Genuine complete combustion and absolutely minimal fuel consumption consumption would be possible only with excess air, but here limits are imposed by such considerations considerations as mixture flammability and the time available for combustion. Certain engine operating operating conditions conditions make mixture mixture adjustments to nonstoichiometric nonstoichiometric ratios essential. With a cold engine for instance, where specific adjustments to the A/F ratio are required.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Excess Air Factor The designation designation l (lambda) (lambda) has been been selected to identify the excess-air excess-air factor (or air ratio) used to quantify the t he spread between the actual current mass A/F ratio and the theoretical optimum (14.7:1): λ
= Ratio of induction induction air mass mass to air requirement requirement for stoichiometric stoichiometric combustion.
λ
= 1: The inducted air mass corresponds to the theoretical requirement.
< 1: Indicates an air deficiency,producing deficiency,producing a corresponding corresponding rich mixture. mixture. Maximum power is derived from λ =0.85...0.95.
λ
> 1: This range is characterized characterized by excess air and lean mixture, leading to lower fuel consumption and reduced power. The potential maximum value for λ – called the “lean-burn limit (LML)”
λ
As can be seen, there is no single excess-air excess-air factor which can can simultaneously simultaneously generate the most favorable levels for all three factors. Air factors of λ = 0.9...1.1 produce “conditio “conditionally nally optimal” optimal” fuel econo economy my with“co with“conditi nditional onally ly optimal” optimal” power power generatio generationin nin actual practice.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Spark-ignition engines with manifold injection produce maximum power at air deficiencies of 5...15 % (λ = 0.95...0.85),but maximum fuel economy comes in at 10...20% excess air (λ = 1.1...1.2). GDI engines can operate with substantially higher excess air factor (λ = 4).
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
Optimum A/F ratio and ignition angle
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Injection system Operating States Cold s tarting During cold starts the relative relative quantity of fuel in the inducted mixture decreases: decreases: the mixture mixture “goes lean.” This lean-mixture phenomenon stems from inadequate blending of air and fuel, low rates of fuel fuel vaporization, and condensation condensation on the walls walls of the inlet tract, all of of which are promoted by low temperatures. To compensate for these negative factors, and to facilitate cold starting, supplementary fuel must be injected into the engine. Post-start ost -start phase Following low-temperature low-temperature starts, supplementary fuel is required for a brief period, until the combustion chamber chamber heats up and improves the internal mixture formation. This richer mixture also increases torque to furnish a smoother transition to the desired idle speed. Warm-up phase The warm-up phase follows on the heels of the starting and immediate post-start phases. At this point the engine still requires an enriched mixture to offset off set the fuel condensation on the intake-manifold walls. walls. Lower temperatures are synonymous with less efficient fuel processing (owing to factors factors such as poor mixing of air and fuel and reduced fuel vaporization). This promotes fuel precipitation within the intake manifold, with the formation of condensate fuel that will only vaporize later, once temperatures have increased. These factors make it necessary to provide progressive mixture enrichment enrichment in response to decreasing temperatures t emperatures..
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Idle and and part-load p art-load Idle is defined as the operating status in which the torque generated by the engine is just sufficient to compensate for friction losses. The engine does not provide power to t he flywheel at idle. Part-load (or part-throttle) operation refers to the range of running conditions between idle and generation of maximum possible possible torque. Today’s standard concepts rely exclusively exclusively on stoichiometric stoichiometric mixtures for the operation operation of engines running running at idle and partthrottle once they have warmed to their normal operating temperatures. Full load lo ad (WOT (WOT)) At WOT (wide-open (wide-open throttle) supplementary supplementary enrichment may be required. This enrichment enrichment furnishes maximum torque and/or power. Ac A c c eler el erat atii o n and an d d ecel ec eler erat atii o n The fuel’s vaporization potential is strongly affected by pressure levels inside the intake manifold. Sudden variations in manifold pressure of the kind encountered in response to rapid changes in throttle valve aperture cause fluctuations in the fuel layer on the walls of the intake tract. Spirited acceleration leads to higher manifold pressures. The fuel responds with lower vaporization vaporization rates and the fuel layer within the manifold runners expands. A portion of the injected fuel is thus lost in wall condensation, and the engine goes lean for a brief period, until the fuel layer restabilizes. In an analogous, but inverted, response pattern, sudden deceleration leads to rich mixtures. A temperature sensitive correction function (transition compensation) compensation) adapts the mixture mixture to maintain optimal operational operational response and and ensure that the engine receives the consistent air/fuel mixture needed for efficient catalytic-converter catalytic-converter performance.
FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM Requirements of Gasoline injection systems
-To supply the engine with with the optimal airfuel mixture for any given operating conditions. -Maintaining air-fuel mixtures within precisely defined limits, which translates into superior performance in the areas of fuel economy, comfort and convenience, and power. -Meet emission norms
