MECHANICAL MULTIPOINT PORT FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM (BOSCH K-JETRONIC SYSTEM)

The fig shows the schematic of the Bosch K-Jetronic System. Air is drawn through the air filter, flows past the airflow sensor, past the throttle valve into the intake manifold, and into the individual cylinders. The fuel is sucked out of the tank by a roller-cell pump and fed through the fuel accumulator and filter to the fuel distributor. A primary pressure regulator in the fuel distributor maintains the fuel pressure constant. Excess fuel not required by the engine flows back to the tank. The mixture control unit consists of the airflow sensor and fuel distributor. It is the most important part of the system, and provides the desired metering of fuel to the individual cylinders by controlling the cross section of the metering skits to the fuel distributor. Downstream of each of these metering slits is a differential pressure valve, which for different flow rate maintains the pressure drop at the slits constant. Fuel injection system offer several options regarding the timing and location of each injection relative to the intake event. The K-Jetronic mechanical injection system injects fuel continuously in front of the intake valves with the spray directed towards the valves. Thus about three quarter enters the cylinder directly during the intake process.
