An intake manifold distributes the air flow into a machine engine.
As air is first pushed through the air filter, it is measured by the mass air flow sensor. The throttle body receives the air and creates a vacuum as the cylinders pull back into the engine block. The intake manifold holds the vacuum as the throttle body opens, which causes the air to be sucked into the intake manifold and sent to the cylinders in the engine.
Mount
The intake manifold evenly distributes air flow into direct-injection engines. In an engine without direct-injections, the intake manifold allocates the air/fuel alloy throughout the combustion chambers in the engine. The shape and internal thickness of the intake manifold determines the ratio and progression of the air or air/fuel mixture.
Process
An intake manifold is allotment of a machine's air intake development, which includes the airbox, air filter and Bulk air flow sensor. The intake manifold plays a leading role in managing the air fundamental for the engine cylinders to function.
Function
The intake manifold also serves as a mount, or point for attaching equipment in a car. This equipment typically includes the throttle body, carburetor and other engine components.
