6. Vehicle Calibration Dependent Issues
• When sizing injector flow rate for any engine/vehicle application,
the engineer should also consult the fuel calibration engineer for
calibration specific fuel concerns. An example list is:
− Piston Protection
− Power Enrichment
− Converter Over-temperature Protection
− Cold Start Requirements
− Any application injector duty cycle limitations
Some calibrators desire that the injector should be sized to meet an A/F
ratio range of 9.0 to 10.0 A/F [equivalence ratio (φ) = 1.63 to 1.47] at the
maximum horsepower point. However, the resulting required linear flow
range might warrant a flow compromise.
Once the preceding specifications are determined, proceed with the
following calculation to obtain maximum fuel flow per injector.
Example:
Engine Rated Horsepower (HP) @ 4500 RPM
300 HP
BSFC (Lb

Calibration Specific Issues (Values are guidelines)
Power Enrichment
11.5 A/F Ratio = 1.25 Equivalence Ratio (φ)
Converter Over temperature
11.0 A/F Ratio = 1.33 Equivalence Ratio (φ)
Cold Start Requirement
10.5 A/F Ratio = 1.40 Equivalence Ratio (φ)
Fuel Pump Compensation
Compensation for lower pump pressure at
high flow
1. Multiply the maximum engine horsepower by the brake specific fuel
consumption to obtain required fuel flow per hour.
(300 Hp) * (0.53 Lb
