Flow characteristics of gas-blast fuel injectors for direct-injection compression-ignition engines

Natural gas has a high auto-ignition temperature, therefore natural gas engines use an ignition source to promote combustion. The high-pressure direction-injection (HPDI) systems available use small diesel injections prior to the main gas injection. A new series of HPDI injectors have been develo...
