The Bendix DEKA™ Fuel Injector Series-Design and Performance

Electronic fuel injection is the universal solution to the automotive fuel system problems of the 80s. Even low cost, base model vehicles will be featuring fuel injection as standard equipment. The continuing challenge for injection system designs is the cost reduction of the major components, including the injectors. Along with developments in other aspects of fuel injection, Bendix has conducted an especially intensive program over the past several years to develop significantly lower cost, high performance injectors for both single and multipoint applications. The results of these extended efforts are advanced, thin edged orifice and floating unitized armature designs. These next generation concepts are implemented in a new series of Bendix injectors merchandised under the trade name DEKA.
