Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of LPG-Fuel Injection System for Motorbikes

Abstract

Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) fuel is currently an energy source being widely applied in many fields in Vietnam, making a significant contribution to the development of the national economy. This paper presents research results of applying LPG fuel used in motorbikes. The traditional liquid fuel system (gasoline) on a motorbike was replaced by an electronically controlled LPG fuel injection system. LPG fuel is designed to inject into the intake manifold. The injection quantity and injection timing are calculated and controlled by the electronic control unit through the calculation and analysis of the input of key parameters such as intake air pressure and temperature, throttle position, engine speed, and camshaft position. The testing results on real roads in an urban area show that the motorbike operates stably on flat and uphill roads. In addition, the cost of LPG fuelconsumption is less than that of the gasoline fuel consumption.
