Water Injection System for Cars
| |
 HYDRO CELL FOR ALL ENGINE TYPES |
Water injection in vehicles is similar to a fuel injection system. The difference? Injected water (or mixed with alcohol), instead of fuel.
Water injecting serves several purposes, primarily to avoid damaging the engine by detonation or pre-ignition. Water is injected in the combustion chambers to provide a mixture of water, air and fuel. The result burns more efficiently and avoids detonation, but also allows additional air cooling and denses the air. The primary purpose is to avoid detonation.
Water can be injected at the entrance of the intake manifold, at the exit pipe of the intercooler, or at the entry of the intercooler. Race car drivers often do this to keep a good handle on temperature of the engine parts.
Water injection is usually made up of 3 parts: A water injector, a high pressure pump, a pressure sensor connected to the inlet manifold, and an inlet air temperature sensor.
