Dual injection: DI + MPI – how does it work?
Increasingly stringent emission standards do not make the work of car manufacturers easier. In order to meet these requirements, engineers constantly change the design of gasoline engines. The latest design trend is the use of two injection systems simultaneously – Multipoint Injection (MPI) and direct injection into the combustion chambers (DI – Direct Injection). This means that there are two gasoline injectors per cylinder, operating separately, which dose gasoline in front of the valves and directly into the combustion chamber.
Ford Escape dual injection – LPG kit assembly
The engine of this Ford Escape from 2020 has mixed injection (DI + MPI). Therefore from the point of view of adapting it to LPG installation, it is an interesting construction that requires innovative solutions, including:
- ALEX IDEA dual 3cyl. controller
ALEX IDEA DUAL is a control technology specially calibrated to work in dual fuel mode (LPG + petrol). One controller operates 3 or 4 cylinders, collecting signals simultaneously from two gasoline injection systems. Therefore, there is only one LPG system under the hood – we save money and space and gain from the aesthetics of the installation.. ✅
- SHARK BFE ADAPT reducer
An unusual reducer that does not maintain the gas pressure at a constant level (traditionally), but builds it – increases it in proportion to the collector pressure. In practice, this makes it possible to reconcile idle and high loads – the efficiency range of the injector increases.
