The document discusses gasoline direct injection (GDI), which improves fuel efficiency without significantly changing conventional internal combustion engine technology. GDI involves sending pressurized fuel directly into the combustion chamber rather than mixing it with air in the intake manifold. This allows for a higher compression ratio and more precise fuel delivery. GDI provides benefits like reduced fuel consumption and emissions compared to port fuel injection systems, but also presents challenges such as increased complexity, cost, and risk of deposits. Major automakers now offer vehicles with GDI engines.

3. INTRODUCTION
Fuel injection is a system for admitting fuel into an IC
engine. It has become the primary fuel delivery system
used in engines, having replaced carburetors during the
1980s and 1990s.
FUEL INJECTION atomizes the fuel by forcibly
pumping it through a small nozzle under high pressure
while a CARBURETOR relies on suction created by
intake air accelerated through a ventury tube to draw the
fuel into the airstream.

• The Carburetor
• Single-point or throttle body injection (TBI)
• Port or multi point fuel injection (MPFI)
• Sequential fuel injection (SFI)

5. THE CARBURETOR
A device for atomising and
vaporising the fuel and
mixing it with the air
The process of breaking up
and mixing the fuel with air
is called carburation

6. SINGLE-POINT OR THROTTLE BODY
INJECTION(TBI)
The earliest and simplest
type of fuel injection
Single-point simply replaces
the carburetor with one or
two fuel-injector nozzles in
the throttle body, which is
the throat of the engine’s air
intake manifold.

7. PORT OR MULTI POINT FUEL INJECTION
(MPFI)
Multi-point fuel injection
provides a separate injector
nozzle to each cylinder, right
outside its intake port,
which is why the system is
sometimes called port
injection.
Shooting the fuel vapor this
close to the intake port
almost ensures that it will be
drawn completely into the
cylinder.

8. SEQUENTIAL FUEL INJECTION (SFI)
Sequential fuel injection, also called
sequential port fuel injection (SPFI)
or timed injection, is a type of MPFI
One injector per cylinder with a
firing circuit for each injector
individually.
Results in better emissions and
more power.
Same fuel pressure as the MPFI.

9. GASOLINE DIRECT INJECTION(GDI)
GDI significantly improves
fuel efficiency without
making a major shift away
from conventional IC
technology.
GDI is a process where fuel
and air is sent directly into
the engine with high
pressure.
The injector is connected
along with the intake valve,
exhaust valve and the spark
plug.

The injector, injects the mixture according to the speed of the
engine. The intake valve is used for only air.
Compression ratio is high as 12.5:1 at its peak value.

s= stroke length
Vc= clearance volume

11. WHY NOT CARBURETOR ??
Carburetor has following Disadvantages:
Vapour lock,
Perfect air/fuel mixture cannot be obtained,
Lack of throttle response,
Low volumetric efficiency,
Icing – problem in aircraft engines,

18. SENSORS
In order to provide the correct amount of fuel for every
operating condition, the ECU has to monitor a huge number
of input sensors.
Eg : Acceleration pedal sensor
Air flow sensor
Hi pressure pump sensor
Crank Angle sensor

19. INJECTOR
A fuel injector is nothing but
an electronically controlled
valve.
When the injector is
energized, an electromagnet
moves a plunger that opens
the valve, allowing the
pressurized fuel to squirt
out through a tiny nozzle.
It is controlled by the ECU.

21. GDI BURNING MODE
1. Ultra-lean burn mode: At lower speeds, the mixture is injected
at the end of the compression stroke for lowest heat losses. This
is when the compression ratio in the cylinders is maximum
2. Stochiometric mode: This is the conventional method of
injection during the intake stroke for optimum combustion and
minimum waste gases during moderate city driving conditions.
3. Full Power mode: Fuel is injected in the intake stroke at a
higher .This is done at high speeds or high load conditions like
climbing a hill.
