Injection Systems

IAV is in full command of injection systems for engines of all kinds

We develop injection systems for diesel, spark-ignition and gaseous-fuel engines – from micro-diesel, passenger-car and commercial-vehicle engines to large-scale power units. We can provide you with support throughout the development process, from the initial concept to design, simulation and prototype construction, and from vendor management to the start of production and beyond. We continuously verify our results on our numerous test benches where we can conduct tests using real-life fluids, allowing us to reproduce realistic engine behavior, for instance. On our temperature-conditioning test bench, we examine injection systems at temperatures from -40°C to +140°C, and our optical-system test bench delivers valuable information on injection spray and mixture formation.

Even today we are working on the solutions for tomorrow

In future, we will see even higher injection pressures helping to bring down fuel consumption and emissions. In the case of the diesel engine, the trend is moving toward pressures of 2,500 to 3,000 bar, and for the spark-ignition engine, pressures of up to 1,000 bar will be possible in the long term. Our developers make sure that the safety of the injection system is always given even under extreme loads of this type. We are also expecting further improvement to injection systems from injection-rate shaping and optimized nozzle-hole geometries. Our experts are at work in this field too – in some cases using tools we have developed ourselves, like the “Injection Analyzer” that provides detailed information on injection rate and mass.
