System air intake of the car

For an engine equipped with a carburetor, this is pretty straightforward. Air comes in the air filter housing, passes through the air filter, into the carburetor where the fuel is mixed with it. Then it passes through the intake manifold and is drawn into the cylinders. The most advanced part of the system was an Air Temperature Sensor in the air intake. It was used to measure the air temperature and, by opening and closing a flap, allow cool air in through the air horn or heated air piped in from around an exhaust manifold. This was to prevent carburetor icing that would cause the car to stall and die out. It also facilitated vaporization of the fuel into the air stream.

Very simple and straight forward. There was only one draw back; there was no way to accurately measure the incoming air for the proper fuel mixture. You could use an emission analyzer and adjust the fuel mixture, but that was only at idle and not under a load. At higher speeds the mixture would be incorrect. Some automobile manufacturers recommend adjusting the carburetor on a dynamometer with the engine under load. (more…)
