Features & Functionality
The Medium Pressure Injection (MPI) product line features injectors with directly actuated needles for port fuel injection or medium pressure direct injection. The platform supports different fuels and combustion strategies and offers liquid (methanol, ethanol or ammonia) and gaseous fuel (hydrogen) injection with electronically controlled Common Rail technology, up to 150 bar nominal injection pressure. The injectors can be customized to match every engine’s requirements in terms of nozzle positioning, fuel inlet, and packaging while maintaining high commonality with the platform. The available nozzle configurations offer excellent atomization and/or spray targeting to optimize fuel mixing even for low pressures. The platform concept is designed to fulfill marine safety requirements for low flashpoint fuels. A flow limiter module and an integrated last chance filter are available.
The High-Pressure Dual Fuel (HPDF) product line features a twin nozzle concept, with two injectors in one unit: one side for ammonia or methanol injection up to 700 bar injection pressure with electronically controlled Common Rail technology, the other side for diesel injection for pilot-ignition or full back-up capability. The diesel-side is offered with mechanical injection (pump-line-nozzle technology, PLN) or state of the art Common Rail Technology, customized to engine requirements. The twin-needle dual fuel injector concept is much easier to integrate into a cylinder head compared to two separate injectors with the advantage of both nozzles being in the center of the cylinder for optimized combustion. The modular approach enables adaptation of the design to match individual customer requirements. Woodward is committed to supporting the global transition to low carbon fuels and helping its customers meet the performance demands of new engines. The company has been working closely with engine OEMs to develop and validate the new product lines.
