How does a multipoint fuel injection system work?

The MPFI is a system or method of injecting fuel into internal combustion engine through multi ports situated on intake valve of each cylinder. In the simultaneous system, fuel is inserted to all cylinders at the same time, while the sequential system injection is timed to overlap with intake stroke of each cylinder.

How does a petrol fuel injection system work?

A modern fuel injection system works by atomising the fuel at high pressure, mixing it with clean air as it passes the inlet manifold, before entering the combustion chamber of each cylinder. This often led to high emissions, poor fuel economy, misfiring engines, burnt valves and shorter engine life.

How does an electronic fuel injection EFI system work on a petrol engine?

Electronic fuel injection (EFI) It travels through fuel lines towards the engine. The fuel pressure regulator knows how much fuel to let through to the injectors via a signal from the mass airflow sensor (MAF). This sensor tracks how much air is entering the engine at any given time.

Is multi-point fuel injection petrol?

In practise, all modern engines are fuel injected, but they come in two flavours: Direct (newer) and Multi-point (older). Direct injection of petrol engines is different to ‘multi-point’ injection. Direct is the latest development, and better.

What are MPFI and TPFC systems?

MPFI stands for Multi Point Fuel Injection. These systems are sequential systems, in which injection is timed to coincide with intake stroke of each cylinder. TPFC stands for transient power fuel control system. In this type of systems constant choke carburetor is used.

How does sequential fuel injection work?

Basically, a SFI (sequential fuel injection) system has a fuel injector for each cylinder. This air/fuel mixture is pulled into the cylinder past the intake valve on the intake stroke of the piston and is then compressed and ignited.

How do electronic fuel injection systems work?

A fuel injector consists of a nozzle and a valve. The power to inject the fuel comes from a Fuel Pump or Pressure Container located far back in the fuel supply. The fuel going through the system is atomized by forcibly pumping it through a small nozzle under very high pressure.

How does the ECM control the fuel injection amount?

The ECU determines the amount of fuel to inject based on a number of sensor readings. Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric).

Do GDI engines run rich?

Engines usually burn rich (using significant fuel enrichment) to ensure a proper start during such conditions. In GDI engines this leads to liquid fuel droplets impinging on the cold surfaces of the combustion chamber and thus cause higher soot/particle formation.

What is multiport fuel injection?

MultiPort Injection systems use separate fuel injector for each cylinder so that fuel can be sprayed directly into the cylinder head intake port. When air flows through the intake manifold, the intake manifold remains dry and there are no problems with fuel puddling or fuel separation causing uneven fuel mixtures in the center and end cylinders.

What is common rail injection system?

The common rail diesel injection system was developed by Bosch. Common rail diesel engines can be found in many modern vehicles including cars, vans, buses, trucks,tractors and earthmovers. The common rail diesel fuel system is a programmed electro-mechanical system for control of diesel fluid (fuel) pressure and flow.

What is manifold fuel injection system?

Manifold injection is a mixture formation system for internal combustion engines with external mixture formation. It is commonly used in engines with spark ignition that use petrol as fuel, such as the Otto engine, and the Wankel engine.

What is common rail fuel injection?

Common rail. Common rail direct fuel injection is a direct fuel injection system for diesel engines. On diesel engines, it features a high-pressure (over 100 bar or 10 MPa or 1,500 psi) fuel rail feeding individual solenoid valves, as opposed to a low-pressure fuel pump feeding unit injectors (or pump nozzles).
