Abstract
This study investigates the flow characteristics of fuel droplets between twin spray for the 4-hole injector used a 4-valve gasoline engine. The injectors for this study were the three types of 4-hole gasoline injector in which orifice diameter was 0.24mm. The spray behavior of twin spray was investigated by means of visualization employed stroboscope. A PDPA system was employed to simultaneously measure the size and velocity of fuel droplets. The 3 dimensional mean velocities. droplet size distributions, SMD and joint probability density function of velocity and droplet size are analyzed at the center of the spray and the center region of twin spray. As a result, the configurations of injector exit such as orifice interval and length of outlet, are very important factors that affect the flow characteristics of fuel droplets at the center region of twin spray.
