Air Injectors

The air injector or “direct” injector is an electromechanical valve used to deliver metered quantities of fluid in the form of a defined and controlled spray plume geometry.

The air injector was originally developed as part of the OCP direct injection system. Considered the “heart” of the OCP system, the function of the air injector is as follows:
Deliver metered fuel to the combustion chamber
Combine air with metered fuel to provide superior atomization
Generate spray plume geometry required for in-cylinder charge stratification

The air injector is suitable for use in any application requiring delivery of a finely atomized fluid spray.

Synerject has continued to improve the performance of the air injector by developing a new “family” of air injectors called the Strata. The Strata family of air injectors is designed to minimize package size, while maximizing commonality and flexibility for use across a wide range of applications.

Although the Strata design allows for the flexibility to change packaging for different applications, the manufacturing processes are consistent, allowing for multiple variations of the Strata injector to be produced on the same automated production line.
