The main difference between port fuel injectors and direct injection injectors lies in where the fuel is delivered in the engine. Port fuel injectors spray fuel into the intake manifold, mixing it with air before it enters the combustion chamber. In contrast, direct injection injectors inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber at high pressure, allowing for more precise fuel metering and better combustion efficiency. This difference can significantly affect engine performance, emissions, and fuel economy.
Direct Injection & common rail
it is called common rail
Both a great deal and very little at the basic operation level.Most current automotive diesel engines are Turbo charged, four cycle direct injection designs with high pressure common rail injection systems.Most North American Locomotives are two cycle turbo charged direct injection engines.Most Locomotives are still using the old style mechanical injection pump or unit injectors. (depending on manufacturer)
TDI is a Turbocharged Direct Injection (ie. with a turbo) AND SDI is Suction Diesel Injection (ie. No Turbo) Daithi
It's direct injection, under compression as is used in diesel engines. Most automobile injectors are either throttle body (sort of like a carburetor with one or two injectors serving all cylinders) or manifold injection with an injector for each cylinder.
There are many types of fuel injection technology, but there are four very popular systems made available for newer cars. They are single-port, multi-port, sequential injection, and direct injection.
This a type of injection system that all the injectors are run off one high pressure source. Most current diesels are Common rail direct injection engines.
There are several types of diesel injectors, primarily categorized into direct and indirect injection systems. Direct injectors spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber, providing better fuel efficiency and power. Indirect injectors, on the other hand, inject fuel into a pre-combustion chamber, which helps in better atomization and smoother combustion. Additionally, diesel injectors can be further classified based on their design and operation, such as mechanical injectors, electronic injectors, and common rail injectors.
CDi is an acronym for Common-rail Direct Injection, which describes a particular diesel injection technology. Nearly every diesel engine equipped with CDi will be turbocharged.
Direct injection injects the fuel charge directly into the combustion chamber, (more efficient). Indirect injection injects the fuel charge into the intake port behind the intake valve, or in the case of Throttle Body injection, into the center of the intake manifold for distribution to the cylinders. Indirect injection was much cheaper to produce, but resulted in higher emissions and reduced power relative to direct injection.Source(s):ASE Master Technician, 46 years experience.
sidi means Spark Ignition Direct Injection
The Powerstroke was introduced in 1995, the difference is direct injection. The pre1995 engines were indirect injection
