← TechnologyWhich outcome results when the fuel injector duty cycle exceeds design limits in a turbocharged engine?
A)Engine knock (detonation) occurs quickly✓
B)Turbocharger compressor surge is amplified
C)Exhaust valve erosion risk increases
D)Catalytic converter efficiency decreases
💡 Explanation
Engine knock occurs due to excessive fuel enrichment, leading to incomplete combustion; the mechanism is fuel auto-ignition caused by increased cylinder temperatures. Therefore, detonation occurs earlier, rather than compressor surge or valve erosion, because the overly rich air-fuel mix reacts violently under the stress of turbocharging.
