Intake and Exhaust Systems
Trang 3Vacuum Basics
• Vacuum refers to any pressure lower than atmospheric pressure
• Higher altitude = Lower pressure
• Pressure at sea level is 14.7 psi
• 14.7 psi is usually 0 on a pressure gauge, or
0 psig
• Vacuum expressed in inches of mercury (in Hg), kilopascals, or bars
Trang 4Normal
atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 1 bar
or 100
kilopascals
Trang 5Engine Vacuum
• It is produced by the downward movement
of the piston on the intake stroke
• The amount depends on the cylinder’s
ability to form a vacuum and the intake’s ability to fill the cylinder
Trang 6Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
• Vacuum problems can produce or contribute
to the following symptoms:
Stalling Poor starting
Backfiring Rough idle
Poor acceleration Rich or lean stumble
Overheating Detonation or knock
Pinging Rotten egg odor
Poor fuel economy
Trang 7Diagnosis and Troubleshooting
– Wear near hot spots
– Damaged valves, storage devices
Trang 9Air Induction System
• Directs and filters outside air into the
cylinders
• Make sure intake ductwork is properly
installed and all connections are airtight
• Air leaks after the airflow sensor will cause drivability problems
Trang 11Intake Manifolds
• Distribute the clean air or air-fuel mixture
as evenly as possible to each cylinder
• Can be classed wet or dry manifolds
• Often house the thermostat and EGR
• Modern manifolds are aluminum or plastic
• Designs vary by engine type
Trang 12Design Variations
• Runner length is designed to achieve the best performance at particular speeds
• Short runners – more HP at higher speeds
• Fast moving air enters intake and stops at closed intake valve
• This air then bounces around in the runner
Trang 13Variable Intake Runners
• PCM controls plenum area and/or length of runners according to engine speed
• Increases volumetric efficiency at more than one range of engine speed
• Common use is changing path of air
between short and long runners
Trang 15Forced Induction Systems
• Engines can not produce full power at high speeds because the do not receive enough air
• Power output is related to the amount of air compressed in the cylinders
• More power can be produced by pressurizing the intake mixture before the cylinder
• Turbo and superchargers accomplish this
Trang 16• Exhaust driven air pumps
• Exhaust gases spin the turbine blades
• The turbine turns the compressor wheel
• Air is compressed and sent to the cylinders
• Used on gas and diesel engines
Trang 17Turbocharger Components
• Turbine (hot wheel)
• Turbine shaft
• Compressor (cold wheel)
• Waste gate valve
• Actuator
Trang 18Typical Turbocharger System
Trang 19• The turbine spins at very high speeds
• The waste gate controls the pressure of air delivered to the cylinders
• Typically begins to compress air around
2000 engine RPM
• Turbo boost describes the positive pressure
• 10 psi of boost equals 24.7 psi
Trang 21Turbo Lubrication and Cooling
• The turbo must be well lubricated and
cooled – exhaust temperatures can surpass 1800ºF (982ºC)
• Compressor wheels can spin up to 100,000 RPM
Trang 22Turbocharger Inspection
• Listen to sounds from the turbo system
• Inspect the exhaust system for leaks
• Check for intake system leaks
• Waste gates may have carbon buildup
• Check ignition timing, vacuum hoses, knock sensor, and O2 sensor
Trang 23• Engine oil and filter must be maintained
• Many manufacturers recommend specific types of oil
• Run the engine for at least 30 seconds after the oil change
• Ensure the air cleaner is maintained
Trang 24Turbo Start-Up and Shutdown
• Leading cause of failure is poor lubrication
• If engine has not run for a day or more, start and let idle 3 – 5 minutes
• Never operate under load if there is less
than 30 psi oil pressure
• Idle the engine for 20 – 120 seconds before shutdown
Trang 27Supercharger Operation
• Air enters from a remote mounted air
cleaner and airflow meter
• Once past the throttle plates, air passes through the inlet plenum
• Air is pressurized by the spinning rotors
• The heated air then passes through an intercooler
Trang 28Air flow through a supercharger
Trang 29Supercharger Bypass System
• May be electronically or vacuum controlled
• The bypass allows the supercharger to idle when power is not needed
• With the bypass closed, boost can reach
about 12 psi
Trang 30• Normally superchargers have their own oil supply
• Check and correct oil level periodically
• Inspect regularly for leaks
• Inspect induction system for leaks and filter condition
Trang 31Supercharger + Turbocharger
• A few vehicles use a “twincharger” system
• The supercharger boosts power at low
speeds
• The turbo boosts power at high speeds
• Used on direct injection engines
• Maximum boost is around 36 psi at 1500 rpm
Trang 32Exhaust System Components
• Exhaust gas oxygen sensors
Trang 34Exhaust Manifold
• Collect and direct exhaust gases
• Can be cast iron or stamped steel
• Designed for particular engine/chassis
combinations
• Proper tuning can create a partial vacuum that draws the exhaust out of the cylinder
Trang 35Exhaust Pipe and Seal
• Runs between the exhaust manifold and
Trang 36Catalytic Converters
• Located before the muffler
• The extreme heat in the converter oxidizes the exhaust
• Converts undesirable exhaust gases into harmless gases
• Reduces exhaust noise
Trang 37Catalytic Converters (cont’d)
• Late model vehicles use a three-way
converter (TWC)
• Treats all three controlled emissions
Trang 38Converter Problems
• Can be damaged or plugged
• Often caused by overheating due to raw fuel entering the converter
• A plugged converter restricts exhaust flow
• Function can be checked with exhaust gas analyzer
• Use a vacuum or back pressure gauge to
check for restriction
Trang 39– Straight through flow
• Produces some backpressure, which affects engine breathing
Trang 41• Acts as a second muffler or silencer
• Further reduces exhaust noise
• Located toward the end of the exhaust system
• Looks like a small muffler
Trang 42• Last pipe in the system
• Releases exhaust gases beyond the backend
of the vehicle
Trang 43Heat Shields
• Protect other parts
from exhaust heat
• Usually made of
pressed or perforated
sheet metal
Trang 44Clamps, Brackets, and Hangers
• Used to properly join and support the
exhaust system
Trang 45Exhaust System Inspection Items
• Holes, road damage, and split seams
• Kinks or dents
• Discoloration or rust
• Broken or missing hangers
• Loose tailpipes or other components
• Signs of catalytic converter overheating:
– Bluish or brownish converter shell
Trang 46Exhaust Restriction Test
• Most common check is with a vacuum gauge
• Connect gauge to manifold vacuum
• Bring engine up to 2000 – 2500 RPM
• Watch gauge:
– Reading should stay high and steady
– A falling reading indicates a restriction
Trang 47Replacing Components
• Check clearance points
• Make sure new parts match the old parts
• Allow the system to cool
• Soak all rusted fasteners with a penetrating oil
