Synopsis

Fuel injection systems and performance is fundamental to combustion engine performance in terms of power, noise, efficiency, and exhaust emissions. There is a move toward electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce carbon emissions, but this is unlikely to be a rapid transition, in part due to EV batteries: their size, cost, longevity, and charging capabilities as well as the scarcity of materials to produce them. Until these issues are resolved, refining the spark-ignited engine is necessary to address both sustainability and demand for affordable and reliable mobility. Even under policies oriented to smart sustainable mobility, spark-ignited engines remain strategic, because they can be applied to hybridized EVs or can be fueled with gasoline blended with bioethanol or bio-butanol to drastically reduce particulate matter emissions of direct injection engines in addition to lower CO2 emissions.


In this book, Alessandro Ferrari and Pietro Pizzo provide a full review of spark-ignited engine fuel injection systems. The most popular typologies of fuel injection systems are considered, with special focus on state-of-the-art solutions. Dedicated sections on the methods for air mass evaluation, fuel delivery low-pressure modules, and the specific subsystems for idle, cold start, and warm-up control are also included. The authors pay special attention to mixture formation strategies, as they are a fundamental theme for SI engines. An exhaustive overview of fuel injection technologies is provided, and mixture formation strategies for spark ignited combustion engines are considered. Fuel Injection Systems illustrates the performance of these systems and will also serve as a reference for engineers who are active in the aftermarket, offering detailed information on fuel injection system solutions that are mounted in older vehicles.

À propos des auteurs

Alessandro Ferrari achieved his PhD in Energetics at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy), and is currently Full Professor of Thermal and Hydraulic Machines in the Energy Department. He is the author of about 100 scientific papers, most of which have been published in prestigious international journals, and is also the inventor of patented systems used by the industry. He has participated in several national and international conferences and received international awards and acknowledgments. He is also in the Editorial Board of international journals where he has served as an Associate Editor.

Pietro Pizzo obtained a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino (Italy). His specialization in the sector of the fuel injection systems began during his Master thesis and continued during the PhD course at the Energy Department. He then joined Rabotti s.r.l, which is a leading company in the development of testing facilities for high-pressure gasoline and diesel fuel injection systems. He is also the author of scientific papers, which have been published in prestigious international journals and presented at international conferences, and cooperates with research centers and technical universities.
