What good is the injector?
As many know, the engine of any caris equipped with either a carburetor or fuel injector. And I must say that the injectors have a lot of advantages before the carburettors, and besides, they are more progressive in the overwhelming number of parameters. Let's figure out how good the injector is.
Advantages of the injector
In a conventional carburetor, the fuel beforethe engine mixes with air, and this consumes about 10% of the power, because to mix gasoline with air, you need to take energy and that's what the engine's power goes to. If the carburettor gets too much fuel - it starts to choke and smoke, and if too little - they say that the carburetor "does not pull". And in the injector fuel is not sucked, but under great pressure is injected from the injector directly into the combustion chamber or into the intake manifold. Fuel is injected exactly as much as necessary - followed by an electronic sensor. Therefore, both the power and the economy of the engine are increased. Let's list the main advantages of the injector in comparison with the carburetor. So, that's what the injector is good for.
- Very accurate metering of fuel, and therefore, its economic consumption, which is achieved through the injection system.
- Exhaust gases become less precise. This is achieved through the use of sensors for the parameters of exhaust gases, as well as an optimal fuel-air mixture.
- Approximately by 7-10% the power increasesengine. This is due to the optimal geometric structure of the intake manifold, the optimal setting of the ignition timing, the improvement of the filling of the cylinders and, of course, the corresponding mode of operation of the engine.
- Improves the dynamics of the car. The injection system reacts much more quickly to changes in load.
- Regardless of the weather, the engine is easyis started. For example, the engine almost does not need warming in a strong frost, it starts literally from a half-turn, which means that you can go almost immediately.
- Great durability and reliability of the engine with an injector and some other advantages.
From all of the above, we can conclude thatInjection systems of engines that are used in most modern cars have a number of advantages in comparison with carburettor systems, and they can be listed for a very long time. However, do not forget that the injector will show all its positive qualities and characteristics only when observing the rules of operation and the competent use of the system.
