FUEL INJECTORS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FUEL INJECTORS

Important Information About Technical Specifications

• Bosch fuel injectors have their flow rates defined in N-Heptane as part of their engineering specification. N-Heptane is a pure
chemical and does not have the same viscosity and density as standard petrol. Hence the N-Heptane flow rate figures stated
should be used as a general guide for comparison purposes only.

• For safety reasons, Bosch strongly recommends that Local and/or Federal Government health and safety regulations are adhered
to when using or handling any of the mentioned test fluids.

• Stated “Operating Pressure” is the pressure that the fuel injector is designed to operate at to give optimal fuel atomisation and
control. This is more critical to the EV1 pintle type fuel injectors.

• Whilst it is common industry practice to request static flow rate only of a fuel injector, it is important to note that one type of
valve group with a specific static flow rate can be used for a number of fuel injectors with different dynamic flow rates.

• Fuel flow specifications are given in grams per minute [g/min]. This is an internationally accepted standard at vehicle manufacturing
level. As development engineers deal with the weight or mass of air inducted by an engine not its expected power rating, the
weight of fuel that an injector can provide is the pivotal measurement. Bosch does not rate fuel injectors related to expected
engine power outcomes.

Bosch Does Not Warrant the Performance of its Components when they are Used with
Certain Fuels or Fuel Additives.

• Bosch fuel injectors are designed for use with standard grade petrol. Subject to statutory warranties, Bosch does not warrant
the performance characteristics or specifications of these fuel injectors if they are used with Alcohol or Ethanol based fuels or
fuel additives that are corrosive.

• Fuel Injector 0 280 150 842 is designed for CNG operation only. Bosch has not tested this fuel injector for permanent service
using liquid fuels, therefore it is not recommended for liquid fuel control systems. Control issues may result due to internal valve
group sensitivity to viscosity differences between liquid and gaseous fuels.

Bosch Is Not Liable For Third Party Recommendations or Modifications

• Modification of fuel management systems should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. It is the responsibility of the
purchaser/consumer to ensure the product is compatible with the fuel management system used to avoid damage and/or injury.

• In any event, subject to statutory warranties, Bosch is not liable for damage caused by third party recommendations or
modifications.

• Modification of fuel management systems may cause a vehicle to contravene state or federal emission laws. Bosch does not
endorse or recommend the modification of standard vehicles and does not accept liability for damages or consequential loss
related to any modification undertaken.

FUEL INJECTORS

Purpose and Function.

Fuel injectors perform an important role in the accurate metering and
atomisation of fuel. These electro-mechanical valves react in milli-sec-
onds to open and close giving the electronic control unit optimal control
over fuel flow to the engine.

Method of Measurement.
Fuel flow specifications are given in grams per minute, as this is an inter-
nationally accepted standard at vehicle manufacturing level. As vehicle
development engineers deal with the weight or mass of air inducted by an
engine not its expected power rating, the weight of fuel that an injector can
provide is the pivotal measurement. Bosch does not rate fuel injectors
related to expected engine power outcomes for this reason.

Power Ratings of Fuel Injectors. [Horsepower]

It has become an aftermarket performance industry practice to rate fuel
injectors in relation to expected engine power outputs, mainly
Horsepower.
As this method of measurement has many issues in relation to various cal-
culation methods, accuracy, individual interpretation and overall relevance,
Bosch as an Original Equipment supplier of fuel injectors, does not sub-
scribe to this specification method. EV6 - Standard Version
There are many design requirements taken into account when under-
taking the design and manufacture of a fuel injector to suit a particular
application. Further explanation can be found under the “Method of
Measurement” heading in this section.

Effects of Fuel Pressure on Pintle Type Fuel Injectors.

Fuel velocity through a pintle type fuel injector [type code EV 1] can dra-
matically affect its ability to atomise fuel. The profile of the pintle used in a
fuel injector has a direct relationship to the operating pressure it is designed
to operate under. Whilst Bosch produce various fuel injectors that may flow
the same amount of fuel at a given specification, the system operating pres-
sure will influence the pintle profile. Correct pressure will result in a well
atomised spray, while insufficient pressure will result in a “hosing” effect.
Excessive pressure will result in either “hosing” or a spray angle that is too
large for the targeted area dependent on the pintle profile.
The consequence of excessive fuel pressure on a pintle type injector may
well be that as the pressure is increased the mixture values of the engine
may appear to get leaner. This is of course not the case, but the fuel being
injected is no longer atomised and is entering the cylinder as a liquid mass.
This will typically cause the Hydrocarbon [HC] values to rise due to the raw
fuel exiting the cylinder, and the Carbon Monoxide [CO] to drop due to
insufficient combustion.
Later design fuel injectors [type code EV 6] use “director plate” multi-ori-
fice technology to better atomise fuel across various operating pressures.
These injectors allow more flexibility in relation to operating pressures with-
out compromising spray efficiency or fuel atomisation.

APPLICATION NOTE EV6 - Long Version

Fuel Injector 0 280 150 842 is designed for CNG operation only. Bosch
has not tested this fuel injector for permanent service using liquid fuels;
therefore it is not recommended for liquid fuel control systems. Control
issues may result due to internal valve group sensitivity to viscosity dif-
ferences between liquid and gaseous fuels.

* IMPORTANT NOTE
Bosch fuel injectors have their flow rates defined in N-Heptane as part of
their engineering specification. N-Heptane is a pure
chemical and does not have the same viscosity and density as standard
petrol. Hence the N-Heptane flow rate figures stated should be used as a
general guide for comparison purposes only.

Injection Valve EV 6
The development of the EV 6 took into
account all the essential functional re-
quirements which originate from injector
operation in multipoint electronic fuel
injection systems (EFI).

This resulted in: low weight, “dry” solenoid

winding, plastic encapsulation, finely
matched flow-rate classes, good valve-
seat sealing, excellent hot-start capabili-
ties, close tolerances of the specified
functional values, high level of corrosion
resistance and long service life.
