Injection Technologies and Mixture Formation Strategies For Spark Ignition and Dual-Fuel Engines

Fuel injection systems and performance are essential for combustion engine performance, but electric vehicles (EVs) are not a rapid transition due to their size, cost, longevity, and charging capabilities. Refining the spark-ignited engine is necessary to address sustainability and demand for affordable and reliable mobility. This book provides a full review of spark-ignited engine fuel injection systems, focusing on state-of-the-art solutions and mixture formation strategies. It also serves as a reference for engineers who are active in the aftermarket.

Fuel injection systems play a crucial role in enhancing combustion engine performance, encompassing power, noise, efficiency, and exhaust emissions. While there is a growing inclination towards electric vehicles (EVs) to mitigate carbon emissions, a swift transition is unlikely due to various challenges associated with EV batteries, including their size, cost, longevity, charging capabilities, and limited material availability. Consequently, refining the spark-ignited engine remains essential to address both sustainability and the demand for affordable and reliable mobility. Even under policies focused on smart, sustainable mobility, spark-ignited engines retain strategic importance. They can be integrated into hybridized EVs or fueled with gasoline blended with bioethanol or bio-butanol to significantly reduce particulate matter emissions and lower CO2 emissions, surpassing the performance of direct injection engines.

In this comprehensive book, Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo offer a thorough examination of spark-ignited engine fuel injection systems. They explore the most prevalent types of fuel injection systems, with a special emphasis on cutting-edge solutions. Dedicated sections cover air mass evaluation, fuel delivery low-pressure modules, and the specific subsystems for idle, cold start, and warm-up control. The authors also dedicate considerable attention to mixture formation strategies, recognizing their pivotal role in spark-ignited combustion engines. An extensive overview of fuel injection technologies is provided, encompassing both conventional and advanced systems. Fuel Injection Systems not only showcases the performance of these systems but also serves as a valuable reference for engineers engaged in the aftermarket. It provides detailed information on fuel injection system solutions, enabling professionals to stay updated with the latest advancements and tailor their offerings to meet the evolving needs of customers.
