Abstract
This paper describes a gasoline injection system based on air-assisted fluidic injectors. This injection system was implemented on a research engine and the results of air to fuel ratio (AFR) variations, engine combustion characteristics and exhaust emissions from the fluidic injector unit were compared with those from the baseline solenoid type injector.
It was demonstrated that the fluidic system produces 9% to 20% lower HC emissions and 5% to 8% higher IMEP than the baseline injection system. This has confirmed the effectiveness of the use of the air-assisted fluidic injector stages and that the improved mixture preparation fuel presentation are obtained by the fluidic system. However, the cyclic flow stability of the fluidic device needs improvement.
