Stanadyne, a global fuel injection systems developer, headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, has debuted two new fuel systems that offer a differentiated approach for small engines to meet BS VI emission standards.
The company was one of the 1,200 exhibitors at the Auto Expo Components Show 2018 held last week at the Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
The Gasoline Pumping Injector (GPI) and Solenoid Controlled Unit Pump (SCUP) have been developed as cost-effective replacements for mechanical systems in two- and three-wheeler applications, and enable OEMs to meet India’s new emission norms.
The GPI is an integrated pump and injector that fits in the footprint of the mechanical carburetors commonly used on small petrol engines today. The SCUP is an electronically controlled unit pump that offers precise timing and fuel delivery control and is an alternative to diesel common rail technology.
“GPI and SCUP technology was developed for the Indian market to offer the country’s manufacturers a way to seamlessly transition engines into an era of cleaner power and energy,” said Sanjay Chadda, managing director for Stanadyne Near East. “Aside from addressing India’s upcoming emissions requirements, the GPI has the capability to serve the global market as well.”
With manufacturers working to meet 2019/2020 emissions requirements of small diesel and petrol engines, Stanadyne’s GPI and SCUP offer alternative low-cost solutions that require fewer engine modifications compared to more complex systems like port fuel injection and diesel common-rail.
“This technology (GPI and SCUP) is designed to fit in the footprint of today’s mechanical systems, which gives them a direct advantage over the other options in the market, which would require manufacturers to make major design changes to their engines,” said Jayabalan S, senior general manager of Application Engineering.
Showcased along with GPI and SCUP were Stanadyne’s other diesel and gasoline fuel systems – Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) pumps and Diesel Common Rail (DCR) systems – which marked these products’ inaugural exhibition in India.
Stanadyne’s GDI tech is designed primarily for three-cylinder and above passenger-vehicle engines and is among the world’s fastest-growing fuel systems to improve petrol fuel economy. Stanadyne developed the world’s first 200 bar GDI pump for the automotive market in 2006.
“With manufacturing facilities strategically placed across the globe, Stanadyne is committed to enabling the next generation of clean and fuel-efficient engines,” said Stanadyne president, chief technology officer, Dr John Pinson. “Solving the unique regional challenges faced by our customers with tailor-made products is part of our company philosophy – the technology in our GPI and SCUP products is an ideal example of this.”
