Intake Manifold: Description and Operation
GF09.20-P-6010V Intake Manifold Component Description
Location
The intake manifold is located between the cylinder banks.
Task
Optimizes engine torque curve by means of two different intake manifold lengths Improves flow via swing-out tumble flaps in the intake port.
Design
The intake manifold is assembled out of several magnesium pressure castings. During assembly, the individual intake manifolds for each cylinder and the
air manifold collecting sections are in the center. The intake manifold cannot be disassembled. A total of four shafts are stored in the intake manifold.
The vacuum pressure for the aneroid capsules is supplied by a vacuum reservoir in the intake manifold when the switchover valves are actuated. The
reservoir volume is designed for several operations without renewed evacuation.
