Hi all, I've some fuel injection related questions for you, experts. Here we go:
Imagine a hypotetical engine which at 5000rpm and 90% open throttle, manages to have the fuel injectors saturated (continously on...underrated injectors), to achieve the correct mixture for lambda
- Since the fuel injectors cannot deliver more fuel at this point, the engine speed will not be possible to increase, is this correct?
- What happens when the throttle is 100% open (still 5000rpm), in other words, even more air is being sucked into the engine, while the injectors still cannot provide more fuel. This results in a lean mixture with risk of damaging valveseats, but: What happens to the engine speed at this point? Will a lean mixture tend to decrease the engine speed?
Reason for asking all this, (sorry if I describe it strange...) is if a fuel injector is setting a limit of the maximum rpm or power and when you reach this point when the injector saturates, will this result in some kind of rpm-limitation, since the fuel-flow isn't sufficent?
Thanks,
Regards, Stefan
