What is the function of a water-methanol injection system?
1 Answers
The function of a water-methanol injection system is to protect turbocharged engines by providing cooling during boost, with extremely noticeable cooling effects. Here is additional information: 1. High intake air temperature: High intake air temperature is a common issue in turbocharged vehicles. Using a water-methanol injection system can effectively reduce the intake air temperature. Lowering the intake air temperature naturally increases the oxygen content in the air, which not only improves combustion efficiency, allowing gasoline to burn more completely, but also enables an appropriate increase in turbo pressure within a reasonable range. 2. Precautions: However, since the water-methanol injection system requires the use of industrial alcohol, it is essential to ensure leak-proof installation and proper routing of the tubing to prevent accidents. Additionally, after installing the water-methanol injection system, it is necessary to pair it with a modified engine control unit (ECU) to increase turbo pressure and fuel injection. Therefore, it is important to regularly monitor the water level in the reservoir.
