General
The NGI2 natural gas injector is only to be used in intake manifold injection
systems on Otto engines for civil automotive applications. Other applications for
the purpose of preparing or metering fluids or gases (e.g. liquid or gaseous LPG,
paints, medicaments, etc.) are not permitted and may cause severe damage.

Safety Information

Bosch CNG components are only suitable for use in OEM (Original Equipment Manu-
facturer, i.e. automakers) applications. Usage in other systems, e.g. in CNG
aftermarket vehicle conversion kits, could create risks such as component wear or
damage, overpressure, gas release or explosions.

3. Test data/Test methods
3.1 Flow measurement
Test conditions

- Test setup: Approved and released Bosch test bench
- Test medium: Nitrogen (N
2
), Bosch Norm: N28 No. 578002500
- Density: 1.24 kg/m (at 0C and 1.013 bar)
- Test temperature: 23 C 2 C
- Test pressure: Nominal value see section 1, Characteristics
- Driver stage: See section 1, Characteristics

This driver stage is designed only for setting and measuring of injectors. It
works in similar fashion to the driver in the vehicle, but is not necessarily
identical.

- Supply voltage for driver stage: 14 V 0.02 V
- Wire resistance: 400 m 20 m
- Cycle time: T = 10 ms

Measurement procedure

The massflow [kg/h] must be measured at a stationary point.

Measurements are to be carried out in the following order:
1. Dynamic flow qdyn: Deviation of inlet pressure < 1% of nominal
value; deviation of massflow < 2 % of actual average value for a pe-
riod of t >5 sec.
2. Static flow Qstat: Deviation of inlet pressure < 1% of nominal
value; deviation of massflow < 1% of actual average value for a pe-
riod of t >5 sec.
The massflow per lift [mg/lift] can only be a calculated value.
3.2 Linearity
3.2.1 Definition of linearity of an injector (SAE method)
The deviation of linearity of an injector is defined as the difference between
the real dynamic flow rate and the individual ideal flow rate characteristic.
The individual ideal flow rate characteristic of an injector is established by
calculating an ideal straight line by linear regression through 5 measurement
points at t
i
= 3/4/5/6/7 ms (according to SAE method).

3.3 Measurement of minimum opening voltage
3.3.1 Definition
The minimum opening voltage (U
Bmin
) is the voltage required from the driver stage,
to open the injector under dynamic cold start conditions. It is determined by
continuously increasing the supply voltage of the driver stage until the injector
just opens.

3.3.2 Test conditions
In the practical test, U
Bmin
is measured with a standard control unit at room
temperature. The test value is the result of the temperature difference and the
control conditions.
- Test temperature: 23 C 3 C
- Cycle time T: 20 ms
- Pulse width t

: 10 ms
- Voltage gradient: 1V/s

3.4 Leakage test
Leakage rate is separated in seat leakage and leakage to environment. Leakage
rate to environment includes all possible leak paths generated through operating
pressure without seat leakage. Seat leakage emit exclusive to inlet manifold.

Definition Leakage rate:
Leakage is defined as emitted quantity of gas per time. The quantity of gases is
described with product of volume and pressure (cm * bar or equivalent mbar * l)

Leakage rate is influenced by
- pressure conditions

Date 15.10.2007


- conditions of gas (particularly viscosity)
- geometrical dimensions of leak path
The leakage rate corresponds with the geometrical dimensions of leak path. Gas
and pressure conditions have to defined:

Leakage rates mentioned in chapter one are referenced to the following
conditions::

Pressure upstream p

The injector must be clean and dry. No liquid phase is allowed.

Test methods:
All methods, that have a measurement capablitiy for the in chapter one mentioned
value, are allowed. In dependance of the used test method a conversion is
necessary. Normaly test method differ from the above mentioned conditions by gas,
pressure or temperature.

5. Carrying out testing (production audit tests)
At least once a year audit tests are performed per type family. For these tests
parts of any injector type are taken out of production at random. For current
production, the quality assurance and development department select the tests
needed from Section 4.
For design changes, the development department selects the tests needed and co-
ordinates the special design verification testing.
6. Field return evaluation
Functional values are determined according to the test conditions listed in
section 3 with the test equipment of the manufacturing plant.In case of com-
plaints, the product is declared free of fault if the following characteristic
data are attained:

6.1 Zero-mileage return
In the case of zero-mileage return, the tolerances of the new parts (see Section
1) must be used. For the static and dynamic flow measurement, the tolerance for
repeatability of 2 % must be added.
6.2 Field return
The technical development/application engineering of the product is oriented
towards a service life of 240,000 km, but in any case for a maximum of 15 years.
This statement regarding design of the product for a certain lifetime does not
represent a warranty for the characteristics of the product. The commercial
warranty and liability is regulated in the Conditions of Sale, irrespective of
the above figures.
In the case of an alleged defect of the injectors, the injectors are to be
considered free of defects if the injector functional parameters are within the
following stated tolerances for Q
stat
, q
dyn
and leakage.

- Q
stat
= 10 %
- q
dyn
= 15 % at t
i
= 3.5 ms
- Total leakage rate: See Section 1

The operation of the injector in accordance with the operating conditions speci-
fied in Section 2, especially the use of the specified natural gas only, is the
premise for acceptance of field returns.
7. Type approval according to ECE R110
Release of the NGI2 injector for use in natural gas vehicles according to ECE R
110 is carried out by a vehicle licensing authority. The release is documented by
the ECE mark on the injector. NGI2 injectors without an ECE mark are not li-
censed for use on public roads.
