EcoBoost Gasoline Direct-injection
>
Features
Performance/Handling
Direct-injection is a fuel-delivery technology used to precisely
inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber of each
cylinder, providing a balance of engine performance and efficiency.
Fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber of each
cylinder by solenoid-controlled high-pressure injectors,
compared to traditional fuel delivery where fuel is mixed with
intake air prior to entering the chamber
Fuel is pumped from the tank to the engine compartment at
‒
a normal pressure of around 200 psi
A cam-driven high-pressure fuel pump increases fuel
‒
pressures of up to 2150 psi, depending on the demands of the
engine
Direct-injection fuel injectors are positioned inside the
combustion chamber
Each injector delivers a precise fuel spray into each cylinder,
allowing a higher compression ratio to help improve engine
performance and reduce fuel consumption
An electronic control system varies the timing and intensity of the fuel delivery according to the engine's operating conditions
Precise control of the fuel provides increased protection against engine knock/detonation to help allow for enhanced performance
compared to traditional (port) fuel injection as well as excellent transient response
