LPDI
System
The LPDI (Liquefied Petroleum Gas Direct Injection) system operates in a BI-FUEL mode alongside the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) system of Gasoline GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) vehicles.
It directly injects LPG fuel into the cylinder, functioning in a Bi-Fuel mode while also capable of running in a dedicated LPG Mono-Fuel mode with the ability for direct starting using LPG.
When the LPDI system is installed in a GDI gasoline vehicle, the engine output performance remains the same as that of a gasoline GDI vehicle.
Features
  • The existing high-pressure pump is used without replacing the gasoline high-pressure pump, reducing detachment and pump purchase costs.
  • Utilizes vapor lock prevention technology due to the vaporization enthalpy of LPG fuel, enabling direct LPG starting (starts within 1 second).
  • Independently develops and produces the ECU to control the LPDI system, allowing for swift adaptation to customer specifications and rapid response to new vehicle releases.
  • Equipped with a donut-shaped (76 liters) LPG tank, maximizing trunk space utilization.
