The electro-injector is an electromechanical device,
which is directly controlled by the gas ECU. It is
in charge of the gas dosage coming from the
vaporizer and directed to each cylinder.
It is
made up of an electromagnetic reel/shutter device
that opens/closes the nozzles in less than three
milliseconds, comparable to those of normal petrol
injectors.
The electro-injectors are normally closed. The gas
ECU sends them electric impulses commanding the
opening, thus allowing the gas to pass through the
nozzle.
The outer body of the electro-injector unit is
made of diamagnetic materials, resistant to
corrosion and temperatures typical of the engine
compartment.
The input connection of the electro-injector is
realised via a connector to the tube coming from the
vaporizer and the output connection via a nozzle
calibrated to the tube connected to the intake
manifold near the intake valve. The section of the
nozzle exiting from the electro-injector is suitable
chosen in relation to the engine¨s specific power
class.
The electro-injectors must be installed as close
as possible to the branch of the manifold to feed
using rubber tubes of the same length and as short
as possible.
For this reason, the electro-injectors are grouped
together in modules of two, three or four.
They have a common base on which are mounted each
electromagnet. The aluminum base contains a single
gas inlet connected to a duct inside. The gas flows
into each injector from this duct.
This base also contains the gas-tight
compartments on which beat the shutters. The
electricity is supplied via a connector integrated
in the reel of each injector. The connectors are
watertight and have a protection degree of IP54.
