The air intake system is a crucial part of the engine that is responsible for supplying the fresh air needed for the combustion of fuel in the engine. It consists of various components such as the air filter, the intake pipe and the throttle valve system.
The air filter in the air intake system plays a vital role in cleaning the incoming air by trapping dust, dirt and other contaminants. This ensures that only clean air enters the engine, enabling optimal combustion and reducing wear on engine parts.
The throttle valve system in the air intake tract regulates the airflow to the engine by changing the diameter of the intake pipe. It allows the driver to control the power and torque of the engine by regulating the amount of incoming air.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the air filter is important to ensure optimal air flow. Careful inspection of the entire air intake system for cracks, leaks or other damage is also advisable to ensure that the engine is always supplied with clean and sufficient air.
