Engine Combustion Fundamentals
Internal combustion is a complex process involving interactions of many
engine subsystems over widely changing conditions. A complete
explanation of these interactions and requirements and the theory of
combustion are outside the scope of this manual. The following sub-
sections summarize the major considerations involved with the fuel
injector’s impact on combustion. If a more detailed explanation is
required on any of these topics, please contact Delphi Energy and Chassis
Systems.
The following text is suggested for those who would like a more
comprehensive understanding of internal combustion engine operation and
theory:
