ENGINE FUEL AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM 6C-5
AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
The air intake system is made up of the following components:
• A dry air filter composed of a filter element to be replaced
periodically.
• A turbocharger which uses the exhaust gases to move a
high revolution turbine to send compressed air to the
cylinders. This incorporates a pressure limitation which
varies the turbine revolutions sending part straight to the
exhaust pipe when the overfeed air pressure reaches the
calibrated value.
Turbocharger is oiled using engine oil.
• An intercooler or heat interchanger, consisting of an air
radiator attached to a water radiator. Its function is to lower
the temperature of the air leaving the turbocharger before
entering the cylinders.
• An intake manifold which distributes the air sent from the
turbocharger to the cylinders. Attached to the intake ma-
nifold is a pipe to show the pressure generated within the
turbocharger to the LDA device (mechanical injection
engines).
