Air ducting
Fresh air is induced by the combined air filter
and air mass meter and distributed to the two
exhaust gas turbochargers by the air
distributor.
The air distributor is made of plastic.
Advantage:
•
Lower weight
•
The intake air is heated to a lesser degree
by the engine
The air, which is compressed and thus heated
by the exhaust gas turbocharger, is fed to the
charge air coolers.
Cooling air intakes in the bumper and air vents
in the wheel housing liners ensure that a
sufficient amount of air flows through the
charge air coolers.
Advantage of charge air cooling:
•
Cooled air has a higher density, and this
means improved volumetric efficiency.
•
The lower temperature reduces knock
tendency also.
The compressed air streams then converge
upstream of the throttle valve control part and
distributed to the individual cylinders in the
intake manifold.
