 Why to introduce EFI on loco
engines
• To attain lowest specific fuel consumption at
all notches.
• EFI has advantage of setting start and end
of injection for each cylinder individually.
• Reduces number of mechanical
components such as governor.
• Provide better control and diagnostic.
• Design flexibility.
 Introduction
• Strict emission standards require precise
fuel delivery
• Computers used to calculate fuel needs
• EFI very precise, reliable & cost effective
• EFI provide correct A/F ratio for all loads,
speeds, & temp ranges
 The Fuel Injector
• Electromechanical device
• Engine rpm determines when injector
opens
• How long it stays open determined by:
– Engine temp
– Engine load
– Throttle position
– Oxygen sensor
ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION
 It consist of following unit:
• Fuel delivery system
• Air induction system
• Sensors and air flow control system
• Electronic control unit
EFI Overview
Various sensors involved
 Changes in design of
component
• Piston

• Camshaft
 Advantage of EFI
• Uniform air/fuel mixture distribution.
• highly accurate air/fuel ratio controls
throughout all engine operating
condition.
• improved cold engine startibility and
operation.
• superior throttle response and power
 Summary
• The electronic control system determines
basic injection quantity based on electrical
signal from air flow metre and engine rpm.
• The fuel delivery system maintains a
constant pressure on the injector.
• EFI system allows for improved engine
performance,better fuel economy and
improved emission control.
 Conclusion
Indian Railways has, thus, made
sustained efforts in all the facets of
diesel traction technology over past four
decades by consistently and
continuously improving the diesel
locomotive technology of 1950s, entirely
through in-house research and
development to “State-of-the-art” level.
