Air Bypass Valve: Description and Operation
PURPOSE/OPERATION
The air bypass valve, is a vacuum controlled pressure relief valve. To prevent throttle overrun during sudden throttle closure, it is necessary to
provide a bypass. The air bypass valve does this by using surge tank vacuum (created any time the throttle is in the closed position) to open the
valve, allowing pressurized air to bleed off to the inlet side of the turbocharger.
