6 System Description
6.1 Intake System
The intake air is cleaned by an air filter and then compressed by the turbo charger. During compression
the intake air gets hot. An intercooler between turbo charger and engine is provided to cool the intake
air down thus the desired engine performance can be obtained.
At the intake manifold the intake air temperature and pressure are measured. To provide the intake air
pressure corresponding to the desired engine power and ambient EECU pressure a waste gate valve
direct at the turbo charger is operated
The influence of intake air temperature and ambient EECU pressure on engine power output is shown
in chapter 2.5.2
6.2 Exhaust System
The exhaust gases are guided through the exhaust manifold to the turbo charger. In the turbo charger
the exhaust gases are expanded to power the compressor for charging the intake air. After the turbo
charger the exhaust gases are released direct into the environment via an exhaust pipe.
