REVOLUTIONIZING FUEL DELIVERY: FUELTECH'S FT INJECTOR FUEL INJECTORS AND PEAK & HOLD DRIVERS
In the realm of high-performance automotive engineering, precise fuel delivery is paramount for maximizing power output and efficiency. Fuel injectors serve as the crucial link between a vehicle's fuel system and its combustion chambers, and advancements in injector technology have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of automotive performance. FuelTech, a pioneering company in automotive electronics and fuel management systems, delivers power, performance, and precision with their FT Injector line of fuel injectors and Peak & Hold Drivers.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FUEL INJECTORS
Fuel injectors play a pivotal role in the operation of modern internal combustion engines. Unlike carburetors, which mix air and fuel externally before introducing the mixture into the engine, fuel injectors deliver precisely metered amounts of fuel directly into the combustion chambers. This method offers superior control over the air-fuel ratio, resulting in more efficient combustion and optimized engine performance.
HIGH VS. LOW IMPEDANCE FUEL INJECTORS
There are two main types of fuel injectors based on impedance: high impedance and low impedance. To understand high vs. low impedance, it is important to understand what impedance is. Impedance refers to the opposition to the flow of electrical current or the resistance to electrical current, which is measured in ohms.
High Impedance Injectors: High impedance injectors have a higher resistance to electrical current, typically ranging from 7 to 16 ohms. They are typically limited by flow size compared to high impedance injectors, but more efficient in terms of power consumption and generate less heat. High impedance injectors are commonly found in standard production vehicles and are also referred to as saturated injectors. They are operated through the application of a steady current that is toggled on and off to open and close the flow of fuel. High impedance injectors are typically less expensive, are simple to use, and are known for their reliability.
Low Impedance Injectors: In contrast, low impedance injectors have a lower resistance to current flow, typically around 1-5 ohms. Low impedance injectors are commonly used in high-performance applications where much larger volumes of flow are required. Low impedance injectors are also referred to as peak and hold injectors as they operate through the application of a stronger peak current to quickly open the injector before switching to a weaker hold current that keeps the injector open for the specified amount of time.
