← TechnologyWhich outcome results from fuel injector dribble in a turbodiesel?
A)Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions✓
B)Optimized combustion chamber thermodynamics
C)Decreased cylinder pressures uniformly
D)Extended catalyst converter operational lifespan
💡 Explanation
Increased unburned hydrocarbon emissions result from nozzle passage wetting, because uncontrolled late combustion, via fuel dribble, prevents complete oxidation; therefore, emissions increase rather than optimal combustion, because the mixture stoichiometry is compromised in localized areas.
