Gasoline Direct Injection

 What is GDI?

Gasoline Direct Injection

Highly pressurized fuel is injected

directly into the combustion
chamber of each cylinder rather
than traditional mixing with the
incoming air in the inlet port

Advantages include more precise

delivery of fuel for lower
emissions, improved volumetric
efficiency and avoidance of knock
for better performance and fuel
efficiency

 GDI benefits and challenges

Gasoline Direct Injection

allows low-end torque
improvement and high
compression ratio

However, with GDI, oil

dilution and particulate
emissions become a matter of
particular importance and a
real challenge

In order to reduce these

risks, great care has been
taken in the design of intake
port, combustion chamber and
spray targeting optimization

 GDI- Tumble

Regarding GDI, high tumble level

also brings:

Oil dilution reduction thanks to

spray deflection that reduces fuel
impingement on liner (especially
for side injection)

Particulate emission decrease

thanks to better mixture
preparation
