 Digital Twin Spark Ignition has two spark plugs

that use to ignite the charge in the combustion

chamber.
2
spark plugs at either ends of the
combustion chamber help in faster and better
combustion.
It only use in the petrol engine.

DTS-i - digital twin spark ignition technology.

We know that in petrol engine we require spark
plugs to initiate ignition of A/F mixture. In
DTS-i instead of one sparkplug we have two
plugs. More over when these sparkplugs should
initiate the spark is determined by
microcomputers. In India it was Bajaj who are
having patents for their 150-220CC bikes

 In digital twin spark ignition system two

spark plugs are used, controlled digitally; by a
micro processor.
These spark plugs ignite the fuel more
efficientely at the end of compression stroke.

In 4-stroke petrol engine at ignition time the

air and fuel mixture does not burn
completely. But when DTS-i system use in
engine the rich mixture completely burn
and the ignition time decrease. And power
of engine increases

When the rich mixture of air and fuel enter

in the combustion chamber , the two spark
plugs fixed at opposite end of engine
cylinder generated spark and this spark
burn the mixture that burned mixture gives
power to the 4-stroke engine. Here spark
generated by the microchip .

 TWO SPARK PLUGS ARE

USED INSTEAD OF ONE

ENABLES FAST AND
EFFICIENT COMBUSTION
LEADING TO BETTER FUEL
EFFICIENCY AND HIGHER
POWER AS COMPARED TO
CONVECTIONAL ENGINES.
BECAUSE THE IGNITION RATE IS DOUBLE; THE POWER

IS GENERATED MUCH FASTER

AND AFTER
COMBUSTION PRODUCT AND GASES EXPANDS MORE
FASTER WHICH IN TURNS PUSH THE PISTON MORE
POWERFULLY AND WE GET BETTER PICKUP AND
BECAUSE APPROXIMATELY ALL THE FUEL BEING
IGNITED AT ONCE WE GET BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY AS
WELL.

 To enable sparking of two spark plugs , a digital C.D.I.

(Capacitor discharge Ignition) capable of handling this

was developed.
To enable optimum ignition
timing for part throttle loads
and full throttle loads . There
are separate ignition maps
stored in the memory of the
C.D.I. These are activated
depending on the throttle
opening and engine speed.

To enable switching the required ignition maps , a

magnetically operated reed switch is incorporated

on the carburetor throttle shaft and carburetor
body . This is known as TRICS-III (Throttle
responsive ignition control system 3rd
generation).

 It use to increases the efficiency .

It use for faster and better combustion.

It has two spark plug , so it burns the complete rich

mixture (air and fuel) in 4stroke petrol engine.

It use to increase the power output of engine.

 Ignition time decreases.

The rich mixture (air and fuel) completely burns in

combustion chamber.
Power produced by DTS-i more compare to single

spark ignition system.

Increase the pick up of engine

 Less vibrations and noise.

Long life of the engine parts such as piston rings

and valve stem.

Decrease in the specific fuel consumption.
No over heating.

Gradual increase in the pressure.

 The engine tends to overheat and loose power at

higher speeds as compared to a single plug engine.

There may be a kind of knocking sound on the

machine.
DTS-i is actually a simpler, cheaper and low-tech

alternative to making more power and burning less

fuel. However owners mistakenly think it is high-tech.

In india bajaj has patented for dtsi technology .

At present platina, xcd125 , 135, discover150, pulsar

135, 150, 180, 200, 220 are using the dtsi (digital
twin spark ignition system).
which means the petrol enters into the cylinder
burns more efficiently.
