The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

TECHNICAL FIELD:
Present disclosure generally relates to a field of automobiles. Particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to a fuel injection system for a bi-fuel engines of a vehicle for injection of fuel into two inlet ports of a cylinder by a single fuel injector.
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE:
Now-a-days, demand for Bi-fuel vehicles are increasing owing to their savings in fuel costs and environmentally friendly characteristics. Bi-fuel vehicles are designed to run on two types of fuel, typically gasoline and natural gas. These vehicles have dual fuel systems that allow them to switch between the two fuels. When the vehicle is operating in natural gas mode, the engine of the vehicle runs on compressed natural gas (CNG) stored in high-pressure tanks. When the CNG supply runs out, the engine automatically switches back to gasoline mode. The driver can also switch between the two fuels manually. Typically, the engine is disposed in an engine compartment and an air intake manifold is in fluid communication with a plurality of engine cylinders. A gasoline rail and a CNG rail is mounted above the air intake manifold on a same plane. A plurality of fuel injectors and CNG injectors are mounted on respective gasoline and CNG rails respectively and are in fluid communication with an inlet ports of the plurality of engine cylinders to supply corresponding fuel into the plurality of engine cylinders for combustion.
However, the accommodation of the CNG rail and the plurality of CNG injectors may be challenging due to limited space in the engine compartment. Further, the position of the CNG injector being away from the inlet port of the cylinder causes gas robbing effect in which some portion of the CNG fuel sprayed to one cylinder will be sucked into an adjacent cylinder. This causes uneven charge distribution for the inlet ports which in turn reduces the operating efficiency of the engine. Further, the positioning of the individual fuel injectors for each cylinder may be cumbersome and may take up a large amount of space in the engine compartment which increases overall weight of the engine. Consequently, this also increases fuel consumption of the engine and increases overall maintenance cost of the vehicle.
The present disclosure is intended to overcome one or more above stated limitations.

The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
Embodiments of the present disclosure discloses a fuel injection system for an engine of a vehicle. Conventionally, in any bi-fuel vehicle, the accommodation of the CNG rail and the plurality of CNG injectors may be challenging due to limited space in the engine compartment. Further, the position of the CNG injector being away from the inlet port of the cylinder causes gas robbing effect in which some portion of the CNG fuel sprayed to one cylinder will be sucked into an adjacent cylinder. This causes uneven charge distribution for the inlet ports which in turn reduces the operating efficiency of the engine. Further, the positioning of the individual fuel injectors for each cylinder may be cumbersome and may take up a large amount of space in the engine compartment which increases overall weight of the engine. Consequently, this also increases fuel consumption of the engine and increases overall maintenance cost of the vehicle as there will be lopsided combustion in each of the cylinders.
In view of the above, a fuel injection system for an engine of a vehicle is disclosed. The fuel injection system comprises a cylinder head defined with at least two intake ports positioned along a longitudinal direction of an engine. The cylinder head is structured to define a passageway fluidly connected to the at least two intake ports. A cylinder is configured to store and supply a fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine. A plenum is fluidly connected to the cylinder and is defined with a plurality of conduits extending towards the at least two intake ports. At least one fuel injector is disposed within each of the plurality of conduits and positioned proximate to the at least two intake ports of the combustion chamber. The at least one fuel injector is configured to dispense the fuel from the plenum into the at least two intake

ports simultaneously through the passageway for combustion. This configuration of the passageway enables the at least one fuel injector to simultaneously dispense the fuel into two adjacent intake ports. Advantageously, this causes uniform mixing of the fuel with the incoming air from an air intake manifold fluidly connected to the engine. Further, the position of the at least one fuel injector proximate to the at least two intake ports of the engine reduces a flight/travel time for the fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine. Advantageously, this also prevent robbing/escaping of the fuel from one cylinder to the adjacent cylinder, thereby improving operating efficiency of the engine. Also, the fuel injection system of the present disclosure is compact with few components and is easy to operate. This significantly reduces cost of manufacturing the fuel injection system.

This configuration of the at least one fuel injector (112) positioned proximate to the at least two intake ports (104) reduces travel (or) flight time of the fuel from the plenum (108) into the combustion chamber (107), thereby provides uniform combustion which increases efficiency of the engine (300).

Now referring to Fig. 6, the present disclosure also discloses a vehicle (200) comprising a chassis (202) having a frame structure (204) to accommodate and support various components of the vehicle- (200). An engine compartment (206) is mounted on the chassis (202) at a front end of the vehicle. The engine compartment (206) is configured to accommodate the engine (300) which is fixedly connected to the frame structure (204) by an engine mount (not shown in Figs.). A firewall (208) is provided to separate the engine compartment (206) from a cabin or passenger compartment of the vehicle (200). The engine comprises of the cylinder head (102) having at least two intake ports (104) defined along a longitudinal direction of the engine (300) of the vehicle (200). The cylinder head (102) is structured to define the passageway (106) fluidly connected to the at least two intake ports (104). A manifold (132) is configured to store and supply an alternate fuel into a combustion chamber of the vehicle (200). The manifold (132) is defined with a plurality of first conduits (134) and is fluidly connected to the cylinder head (102) at one end. An other end of the manifold (132) is connected to a fuel tank (not shown in Figs.) of the vehicle (200). At least one first fuel injector (125) is disposed within each conduit (134) of the plurality of first conduits (134). The at least one first fuel injector (125) is configured to dispense the alternate fuel into the combustion chamber (107) for combustion. In an embodiment, the alternate fuel is a liquid fuel including a least one of a petrol, diesel, bio-diesel and ethanol. The at least one first fuel injector (125) is disposed below the manifold (132) of the engine (300) proximate to the cylinder head (102). The system (10) comprises of the cylinder (105) configured to store and supply a fuel into the combustion chamber of the engine (200). The plenum (108) is fluidly connected to the cylinder (105) and is defined with a plurality of conduits (110) extending towards the at least two intake ports (104). The at least one fuel injector (112) is disposed within each of the plurality of conduits (110) and positioned proximate to the at least two intake ports (104) of the combustion chamber (107). The at least one fuel injector (112) is configured to dispense the fuel from the plenum (108) into the at least two intake ports (104) simultaneously through the passageway (106). The vehicle (200) further comprises a controller (130) communicatively coupled with the first fuel injector (125) and the second fuel injector (112). The controller (130) is configured to selectively actuate the first and second fuel injectors (125, 112) to dispense at least one of the alternate fuel and the fuel into the combustion chamber (107) based on one or more inputs from a user for combustion.

In an embodiment, a user interface unit (not shown in Figs.) may be disposed within the cabin of the vehicle (200) and is communicatively coupled with the controller (130). The user interface unit may the used may include at least one actuator (not shown in Figs.) configured to actuate either of the at least one first fuel injector (125) or the second fuel injector (112) for selectively dispensing the fuel and the alternate fuel into the combustion chamber (107) of the engine (300) for combustion.
An operative configuration of the system (100) of the present disclosure is now explained with reference to Fig. 5 which illustrates a top sectional view of the engine (300). During normal operation or first operating condition of the vehicle (200) (as shown in Fig.6), initially, the air from the air intake manifold (111) is mixed with the alternate fuel from the at least one first fuel injector (125) to form an air fuel mixture. The air-fuel mixture enters into the intake port (104) of the at least two intake ports (104) and is dispensed into the combustion chamber (107) for combustion. The power generated by the combustion process is transmitted to wheels of the vehicle (200) through a power transmission system (not shown in Figs.). To change the operating condition of the vehicle (200), the user actuates the actuator disposed within the cabin of the vehicle (200) for changing the fuel used for combustion. Upon actuation, the controller (130) turns OFF the at least one first fuel injector (125) and the supply of the alternate fuel into the at least two intake ports (104) is restricted. The controller (130) actuates the second fuel injector (112) to dispense the fuel and into the passageway (106). The air from the air intake manifold (111) enters the at least two intake ports (104). The fuel from the passageway (106) enters into the at least two intake ports (104) simultaneously through the at least one conduit (122) provided on sides of the passageway (106). The fuel is divided into equal proportions and dispensed into each of the at least two intake ports (104) for uniform distribution of the air fuel mixture into the combustion chamber (107). This configuration of the passageway (106) enables a single fuel injector to be used to supply fuel into two intake ports (104) of the adjacent cylinders. Advantageously, this reduces the components of the system (100) making the system compact and thereby reducing overall weight of the engine (300). To change the operation of the vehicle (200) to the first operating condition, the user may operate the actuator to activate the at least one first fuel injector (125) by the controller (130) to dispense the alternate fuel from the manifold (132) into the combustion chamber (107).

In an embodiment, the controller (130) may be an on-board electronic control unit of the vehicle (200) that is configured to selectively actuate the at least one first fuel injector (125) and the second fuel injector (112) based on the requirement of the user.
In an embodiment, the system (100) can be installable to a mono-fuel vehicle running on the gaseous fuel.
The system (100) of the present disclosure can be installed in any type of vehicle (200) having confined space within the engine compartment.
The system (100) of the present disclosure is simple in construction and is retrofittable to any type of mono-fuel type engines.
The system (100) of the present disclosure can be easily installed below the air intake manifold (111). This prevents a need of additional space for CNG rails such that the system (100) can be installed in confined spaces. Further, a single fuel injector (112) can be used to supply the fuel into the at least two intake ports (104) simultaneously. This reduces the number of fuel injectors required for injecting the fuel and thereby makes the system (100) compact in construction. Further, the positioning of the at least one fuel injector (112) proximate to the vehicle (200) prevents the fuel robbing effect and enables uniform charge distribution. Advantageously, this improves the efficiency of the engine (300) and thereby reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle (200).
The system (100) of the present disclosure includes a lesser number of components. This reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs of the vehicle (200).
