Why can't direct injection engines do without high pressure fuel pumps?

There are several reasons why direct injection engines cannot do without high pressure fuel pumps:1. Realize high pressure injection and improve fuel atomization effectDirect injection engines need to inject fuel directly into the cylinder to mix with the intake air, which requires the fuel pump to provide sufficiently high pressure to ensure that the fuel can be fully atomized. High pressure fuel pumps can convert low pressure oil in low pressure oil pipes into high pressure oil through compression, and send high pressure oil to the fuel common rail through high pressure oil pipes, thereby meeting the needs of direct injection engines for high pressure injection. High pressure injection makes fuel particles smaller and can be more evenly distributed in the cylinder, improving the mixing efficiency of fuel and air, thereby improving combustion efficiency and engine performance.2. Accurately control the amount of fuel injection to achieve lean combustionDirect injection engines can achieve accurate control of the amount of fuel injection through high pressure fuel pumps, and can accurately inject fuel in proportion according to the requirements of engine operating conditions. This precise control helps to achieve lean combustion, that is, while ensuring power output, reducing fuel consumption and emission pollution. The high precision injection capability of high pressure fuel pumps is the key to achieving this goal.3. Adapt to the special needs of direct injection enginesCompared with traditional electronic fuel injection engines, direct injection engines are more prone to carbon deposits because the fuel is in direct contact with high-temperature gas in the cylinder, which is more prone to oxidation and deposition. High-pressure fuel pumps increase the injection pressure to make the fuel atomization more delicate, which helps to reduce the formation of carbon deposits. At the same time, high-pressure injection can also improve the penetration of fuel, ensure that the fuel can be evenly distributed in the cylinder, and further improve combustion efficiency.4. Improve the overall performance and reliability of the engineThe use of high-pressure fuel pumps not only improves the fuel economy and emission level of direct injection engines, but also improves the power output and reliability of the engine. By accurately controlling the injection amount and injection pressure, high-pressure fuel pumps can ensure that the engine can operate stably under various working conditions and reduce the possibility of failure.High-pressure fuel pumps are crucial for direct injection engines. It not only realizes high-pressure injection and precise control of the injection amount, but also adapts to the special needs of direct injection engines and improves the overall performance and reliability of the engine. Therefore, direct injection engines cannot do without the support of high-pressure fuel pumps.
