Turbo Direct Injection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Volkswagen's Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) is a turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine with direct fuel injection. Volkswagen (VW) is an automobile manufacturer based in Wolfsburg, Germany. ... Turbocharger Cut-away A turbocharger is a device used in internal-combustion engines to increase the power output of the engine by increasing the mass of oxygen and fuel entering the engine. ... For the Australian rock group, see Intercooler_(band). ... The diesel engine is a type of internal combustion engine; more specifically, it is a compression ignition engine, in which the fuel is ignited by being suddenly exposed to the high temperature and pressure of a compressed gas containing oxygen (usually atmospheric air), rather than a separate source of ignition... Cover of Popular Hot Rodding magazine, showing racing fuel injection system on V8 engine in the late 1960s Fuel injection is a technology used in internal combustion engines to mix the fuel with air prior to combustion. ...
Direct injection diesel engines operate by having the fuel injector arranged to inject fuel directly into the engine's cylinder, as opposed to indirect injection diesel engines, where the fuel is injected into a pre-combustion chamber. The reduced material volume of the direct injection diesel engine reduces heat losses and thereby increases engine efficiency, at the expense of increased combustion noise. A direct injection engine is also easier to start when cold, due to the reduced heat loss of the design.
