Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ AIR INTAKE FILTRATION Gasoline must be mixed with air to form a combustible mixture. Air movement into an engine occurs due to low pressure (vacuum) being created in the engine. FIGURE 6-1 Downward movement of the piston lowers the air pressure inside the combustion chamber. The pressure differential between the atmosphere and the inside of the engine forces air into the engine.

Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ PORT FUEL-INJECTION INTAKE MANIFOLDS The size and shape of port fuel-injected engine intake manifolds can be optimized because the only thing in the manifold is air. The fuel injection is located in the intake manifold about 3 to 4 inches (70 to 100 mm) from the intake valve. Therefore, the runner length and shape are designed for tuning only.

Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ UPPER AND LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLDS Many intake manifolds are constructed in two parts. –A lower section, usually called the plenum, attaches to the cylinder heads and includes passages from the intake ports. –An upper manifold connects to the lower unit and includes the long passages needed to help provide the ram effect that helps the engine deliver maximum torque at low engine speeds. The throttle body attaches to the upper intake.

Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS Gaskets are used on new engines with tubing- or header-type exhaust manifolds. The gaskets often include heat shields to keep exhaust heat from the spark plugs and spark plug cables. They may have several layers of steel for high- temperature sealing. FIGURE 6-17 Typical exhaust manifold gaskets. Note how they are laminated to allow the exhaust manifold to expand and contract due to heating and cooling.

The spreader tool allows the technician to line up the bolt holes without doing any harm to the manifold.

The muffler catches the large bursts of high-pressure exhaust gas from the cylinder, smoothing out the pressure pulses and allowing them to be released at an even and constant rate. FIGURE 6-19 Exhaust gases expand and cool as they travel through the passages in the muffler.

Automotive Fuel and Emissions Control Systems, 2/e By James D. Halderman and Jim Linder © 2009 Pearson Higher Education, Inc. Pearson Prentice Hall - Upper Saddle River, NJ SUMMARY 1.All air entering an engine must be filtered. 2.Engines that use throttle-body injection units are equipped with intake manifolds that keep the airflow speed through the manifold at 50 to 300 feet per second. 3.Most intake manifolds have an EGR valve that regulates the amount of recirculated exhaust that enters the engine to reduce NO X emissions. 4.Exhaust manifolds can be made from cast iron or stainless steel. 5.The exhaust system also contains a catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, and muffler. The entire exhaust system is supported by rubber hangers that isolate the noise and vibration of the exhaust from the rest of the vehicle.
