| TITAN® EXP™ Fuel Injection System |
| Pros |
Cons |
| Excellent fuel metering, distribution,
atomization and vaporization |
More complex than a carburetor |
| Carb heat provision not required |
Requires the use of a calibrated test
bench for overhaul |
| No requirement to pass induction air
through oil sump to improve fuel distribution and vaporization |
|
| Can use cooler air to make more power |
|
| Smoother running engine due to better
fuel distribution |
|
| Allows fuel/air mixture to be optimized
for each cylinder |
|
| Works in any aircraft attitude |
|
| Throttle body can be mounted in any position
available on the engine |
|
| Can be installed to take advantage of
ram air |
|
| Allows engine to be leaned more precisely
thereby improving fuel economy |
|
| More HP for the same amount of fuel |
|
| Spark plugs remain cleaner and therefore,
live longer |
|
| Works in supercharged applications |
|
| The same basic system works on engines
of different displacements |
|
| Works on any induction system in the
market |
|
| Proper fuel flow and operation are validated
during bench tests |
|
| Direct injection into the intake port
cools the intake valve |
|
1-1/2” to 2”
manifold pressure advantage over a carburetor or servo
system. (Due to lack of a venturi in the inlet air passage.)
a) 1” of manifold pressure
equates to 2 to 3% horsepower.
b) 1” of manifold pressure equates to approximately
1000' of critical altitude.
c) 1000' of altitude with the same HP equals 2.5
kts.
